C2-Demand Information (IC45)

The C2 - Demand Information folder displays the unit demand history and a summary of the Purchasing Criteria for the Product selected in the Header section. Unit demand represents the ordered units, not the invoiced units. For example, if an order is cancelled due to an out-of-stock condition, demand for the goods exist but the sale never took place. Note: The 'Update Demand' flag in the TAT code on the order detail line dictates whether or not demand statistics are updated.

  1. The first list box displays Demand History information from:

    1. Product Unit Demand History Entry (IM64)
      and/or
    2. Orders/invoices for products with TAT codes that update demand

    Demand history is displayed for Regular Demand in the Demand column and Flyer Demand in the Flyer column for the previous 12 months.

    The following fields appear below the list box:

    • Total - displays the unit total for Regular and Flyer Demand for the past 12 months.

    • Current - displays the Regular and Flyer Unit Demand. The current information is updated every time an order is entered or deleted:

      1. When an order for a Flyer is entered, both the demand and flyer statistics increase for the current line.
      2. If an order line is deleted and is NOT due to customer cancellation (i.e the product is out of stock) the current values are decreased.

    • Next - displays the Regular and Flyer Unit Demand for the Next Period.

    Once S/A Sales Fiscal Period Close (SA89) is run:

    • The current values are zeroed and are reflected in the Demand/Flyer list boxes.
    • The next values are moved to the current values.

  2. The second list box displays Demand History information from IM64 or from orders/invoices for products with TAT codes that update demand for Regular Demand and Flyer Demand for the previous 12 to 24 month period.

    The following fields appear below the list box:

    • Total - displays the unit total for Regular and Flyer Demand for the previous 12 to 24 month period.
    • Flyer From/To - displays the Flyer From and To dates from the first Flyer found (alphabetically) in Product Price Lists (IM18).
