Run Demand Planning By Scenario

The Demand Planning Forecast Generation Engine (DP Engine) is a long-term statistical forecasting engine that produces forecasts based on existing demand history data (e.g., point-of-sale, shipments, etc.). The Demand Planning engine relies upon advanced statistical forecasting techniques, supporting concepts of sales seasonality, and sales promotion events (e.g., advertising, price reductions, and so on).

Complete the following steps to run the DP engine by scenario:

1. Log in to the ONE system.

2. Click Menus/Favs > Demand Planning > Simulation > Run Demand Planning by Scenario.
