You can use these worksheets from the top left panel of the workbench:

• Demand Sensing Configuration: To display the number of days that demand has been loaded into the current period.
  Note: The demand sensing days can be modified, if required.
• Demand Sensing Config Tolerance: To modify the bands for the number of standard deviations and percentage to trigger the high and low exceptions.
  Note: This value can be modified at different levels of item and location hierarchy.
• Demand Sensing Exceptions: To display the number of exceptions created by Item hierarchy and the difference between demand and forecast.
  Note: The ‘Demand Sensing Exception Details’ and ‘Demand Sensing Details’ panels are updated when a value is selected, passing the item selection.

You can use these worksheets from the top right panel of the workbench:

  Note: 

  • The ‘Demand Sensing Details’ panel is updated when a value is selected, passing the item and location selection.
  • If you click Percentage Tolerance High or Low Demand Exception or Standard Deviation High or Low Demand Exception count, a list of all items and locations with the exception is displayed based for the level as derived from these application variables:
    • dpls_demand_sensing_item_level
    • dpls_demand_sensing_location_level
• Demand Sensing SD Details: To display the Forecast Standard Deviation and Standard Deviation over the DS horizon.
  Note: This worksheet is initially hidden. This can be loaded using panel links from the Demand Sensing Exception Details worksheet and the associated exception measure.
