Use historical demand

If you prefer to make use of historical demand, Safety Stock Optimization must first be run with the Populate Site Demand Series check box selected on the Demand Analysis tab in Safety Stock options. When this option is checked, Safety Stock Optimization populates the Site Demand Series table for all sites: both customer-facing and non customer-facing.

If you want to populate the Site Demand Series table, the Run Demand Analysis With option must be “Demand Series”. If this option is set to “Formula”, the Site Demand Series table will not be populated.

To set this option in a scenario item, select the “Populate Site Demand Series” Inventory Optimization option and select Yes as the value.

When you run Inventory Simulation, select Run Simulation Using Historical Demand in Inventory Simulation options to use the site demand series data.
