where we will see unconstrained demand forecast

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

We are entering demand in Interactive demand planning(IDP), than we will run Univariate forecast after run forecast, where we will see unconstrained demand forecast.kindly give me suggestions

Hi,

If you want to check the forecast after univariate run, in that case check which Forecast profile you are using to generate forecast and after you find the forecast profile then check same profile in T.code /SAPAPO/MC96B (Maintain Forecast Profiles) whcih keyfigure you have assigned to store the generated forecast and check the generated forecast in the same keyfigure.

If you need any more details, please revert.

Thanks

Hi Babu,

what you see in DP (TX /SAPAPO/SDP94) is in fact unconstrained demand. Generally speaking the process is as following:

- You capture demand as close as possible to customer. At this stage the demand is unconstrained because at that point you do not have any idea whether your supply chain is able to satisfy this (no check of inventory, production, storage, transportation capacitiy and many other factors involved in to bring goods from A to customer). You somply capture the demand

- After running forecast you pass it to SNP and there you check the demand against your resources and capacities. The outcome of SNP should be constrained demand. At this stage it is easier to make commitment regarding delivery time and quantity. Normally you send constrained demand back to DP and compare thme (constrained against unconstrained demand)
