Demand Sensing process execution

The Demand Sensing data is initialized during the creation of a standard Demand Planning cycle period.

This table lists the various steps for Demand Sensing when the Import Scenario macro ‘Import Demand Plan from SCV’ (DPLS_Import Demand Plan (SCV)) is run:


Macro step	Interface service	Condition for execution
RunInterfaceService("DPLS - SCV - Import Demand Customer Orders","Import")	DPLS - SCV - Import Demand Customer Orders	'%app_var_dpls_sales_hist_to_use%' == 'SC_SALES_HIST_AGGR'
RunInterfaceService("DPLS - SCV - Import Demand Customer Orders (SALES HIST TRX)","Import")	DPLS - SCV - Import Demand Customer Orders (SALES HIST TRX)	'%app_var_dpls_sales_hist_to_use%' == 'SC_SALES_HIST_TRX' AND '%app_var_dpls_demand_sensing_customer_orders%' == '0'
RunInterfaceService("DPLS - SCV - Import Demand Customer Orders (SALES HIST TRX as TD)","Import")	DPLS - SCV - Import Demand Customer Orders (SALES HIST TRX as TD)	'%app_var_dpls_sales_hist_to_use%' == 'SC_SALES_HIST_TRX' AND '%app_var_dpls_demand_sensing_customer_orders%' == '1'
RunInterfaceService("DPLS - SCV - Import Demand Sensing Days","Import")	DPLS - SCV - Import Demand Sensing Days

Note: One of the initial three steps can only be executed. This is controlled by the application variables ‘dpls_sales_hist_to_use’ and ‘dpls_demand_sensing_customer_orders’.

All three of the initial steps import closed customer orders after the start date of the current cycle period. The difference is based on the table that is used. When the dpls_demand_sensing_customer_orders is set to 1, the customer orders are imported as Transactional Data, allowing you to view individual orders in the Demand Sensing workbenches.

The last step imports number of days beyond the cycle period start date that you have closed customer orders in SCV. This is the number of days that Demand Sensing is calculated over.

You can update the Demand Sensing data (daily or weekly) during a running cycle period by running the macro ‘Import Demand Sensing Data from SCV’ (DPLS_Import Demand Sensing Data SCV). This macro repeats the 4 steps mentioned above.
