Using the Demand Promotion and Demand Exclusion Feature

Users can make changes to demand promotion and demand exclusion information more quickly and efficiently. Demand promotion is the promotion of historical demand (orders) from a site to a parent site when a customer begins ordering from the parent site and uses customers, orders types, and warehouses to define which demand should be included. Demand exclusion stops reading historical demand (orders) when a customer stops ordering from a parent site and only uses the order type to determine which demand should be excluded.

The basic flow of this functionality consists of the following steps:

1. Create or select demand management metadata.

   P lease note this step is skipped in this workflow. Currently, demand management rules (which require demand management metadata) can only be created through the upload process and not through the UI and is outside the scope of this section.

2. Create or select demand management rules, which require demand management metadata.
   

3. Run the Demand Management Processing engine, which can use demand management rules as input.

4. Confirm which orders were successfully processed by the Demand Management Processing engine from the Search Processed Orders report.

5. Enable the Apply Demand Management Rules flag on the appropriate Multi-Tier Stat Scenario.

6. Run the Multi-Tier Inventory Planning (MTIP) Stat engine with the previously configured Multi-Tier Stat Scenario.

7. Open the MTIP Stats Buffer Search Detail report to confirm the MTIP engine ran correctly and successfully promoted or excluded demand.

The following workflow is meant to describe how to walk through each step in sequence with example data:

1. Log in to the ONE system as an Inventory Planner or Buyer Supply Chain Admin role.

2. Click Menus/Favs > Inventory Planning > Configuration > Demand Management Data > New Demand Mgmt Metadata .

3. Create a demand management metadata object. See the "Creating and Searching Demand Management Metadata" section for detailed information.

   P lease note this step is skipped in this workflow. Currently, demand management rules (which require demand management metadata) can only be created through the upload process and not through the UI and is outside the scope of this section.

   The Search Demand Mgmt Rules screen displays. For this example, we use the existing KP_TestRule25Jan rule. For more information on demand management rules, see the "Searching Demand Management Rules" section.
   
   
   
   

5. Click Inventory Planning > Demand Management Processing > Invoke Demand Mgmt Processing Engine.
   The Invoke Demand Mgmt Processing Engine screen opens. For more information on the Demand Management Processing engine, see the "Invoking the Demand Management Processing Engine" section.

9. Click Menus/Favs > Inventory Planning > Configuration > Multi-Tier Stat Scenario > New Multi-Tier Stat Scenario to create a new Multi-Tier Stat Scenario.
   The New Multi-Tier Stat Scenario screen displays.
   
   
   
   

10. Fill out the fields as needed. For this example, ensure the Apply Demand Management Rules flag is enabled. For more information, see the "Creating and Working with MTIP Stats Engine Scenarios" section of the Online Help.

11. Click the Create button.
    A success message appears.
    

12. Click Menus/Favs > Inventory Planning > Multi-Tier Inventory Planning Stats > Invoke Multi-Tier Inventory Planning Stat Engine .
    The Invoke Multi-Tier Inventory Planning Stat Engine screen appears.
    
    
    
    

13. Fill out the fields as needed. For this example, ensure the Scenario Name is a scenario with the Apply Demand Management Rules flag enabled. For more information, see the " Running the MTIP Stats Engine" section of the Online Help.
    

14. Click Run Engine.
    The engine runs, and a success message appears.
    

15. Click Menus/Favs > Inventory Planning > Multi-Tier Inventory Planning Stats > Multi-Tier IP Stats Buffer Search Detail Report.
