Review and generate advanced demand-driven orders
Use configured supply methods, working calendars and replenishment parameters. Identify the expected demand before running the assistant.
Start at Warehouse and delivery > Demand-driven orders.
Procedure
- Select warehouse/item scope. In supply-method selection, choose only methods to process now and fill any missing supplier/source.
- For each method review the item-ordering policy mode: items at their reorder point, all items for scheduled planning or no ordering today. Fill the next delivery date where required.
- At stock replenishment compare current stock, expected incoming orders, minimum/maximum levels and the quantity to order. Check how fulfillment from stock versus independent fulfillment changes the calculation.
- At sales-order fulfillment inspect required/fulfilled quantities, quantity to order, shipment date and shipping warehouse. A reserve at another warehouse can affect the recommendation without moving goods to the shipping warehouse.
- Review packaging and minimum purchase lot. Open the packaging detail to explain rounding; a dedicated order quantity and an unassigned rounding remainder must remain distinguishable.
- At the order preview inspect grouped orders and their item rows. Check source, agreement, warehouse, currency, package, quantity and any below-minimum-order warning.
- Create only the reviewed orders. In the final order list open each created purchase, transfer or kitting order and verify its dates and demand coverage.
- Recheck source-order traceability and rerun demand analysis. Do not assume an automatic document link merely because demand contributed to an aggregated order.
Check the result
Selected demand is covered once, date/warehouse differences are understood and every rounding excess is explained.
If the result differs
Date/quantity is unexpected: compare ordering mode, lead time and coverage period. Generated documents duplicate supply: review open orders and demand links before creating more.
