Use

In this Customizing activity, you can group supply and demand elements for the various supply and demand matching evaluations. The grouping of the supply and demand elements is relevant for the evaluation of material shortages.

The supply and demand profiles that you create here are assigned to the material shortage profile that you create in a second customizing step.

Requirements

Standard settings

The standard system comes with predefined versions of the supply and demand profiles that typically need not be changed. The recommendation is that you check that the standard profiles meet your requirements and use them.

Activities

This Customizing activity is divided into two steps:

  1. Definition of the Supply Profile
    In this step, you group the supply elements. The evaluation of shortages distinguishes between four supply groups (stock, execution supplies, ordered supplies, and planned supplies) to which you can assign appropriate supply elements.
  2. Definition of the Demand Profile
    In this step, you group the demand elements. The evaluation of shortages distinguishes between five different demand groups (negative stock, execution demands, ordered demands, planned demands, and forecast demands) to which you can assign appropriate demand elements.

    In addition, when creating the demand profile you can define a category importance and a sales demands importance to prioritize your sales demand elements. This priority information is used in the uncovered demand calculation as an overall sorting criterion. That is, for example, it determines which demand element has the highest delivery priority, the next highest, and so on.
