Demand

In Supply Chain Guru X, Demand is supported for both Customers and Sites. Additionally, for each of the location types, there are two methods to define demand. For forecast data, you will use the Demand tables; for historical data, use the Orders tables:

• Customer Orders – Use the Customer Orders table to model historical demand for products by customers. You define the amount or product ordered by day or offset from the start of the model horizon. You can override the price, weight and volume of the product as specified in the Products table.
• Site Orders – Use the Sites Demand Transactions table to model historical demand for products by sites. You define the amount or product ordered by day or offset from the start of the model horizon. You can override the price, weight and volume of the product as specified in the Products table.
• Customer Demand – Use the Customer Demand table to model forecast data for products at customers. You can define an offset from the start of the model horizon, or from the start of a specific period. In addition to the basic demand values, you can apply seasonality and demand trends.
• Site Demand – Use the Site Demand table to model forecast data for products at sites. You can define an offset from the start of the model horizon, or from the start of a specific period. In addition to the basic demand values, you can apply seasonality and demand trends.
