Setting up Demand Plan and Releasing Forecasting Data to Planning

[sandeepyr]

Demand planning enables the demand planner to forecast demand and subsequently release it to supply chain planning and control,  at the level of a product in a specific supply planning area.

Demand forecasts are key to supply chain planning – the more transparent and accurate they are, the more effectively companies can plan for future demands. Real-time business data captured from application areas such as sales and supply chain, is stored in one data warehouse. Companies thus have a comprehensive view of all relevant figures today, and the information they need for effective planning in the future.

Hey Sandeep

Nice description!

But I think you picked the wrong tag:

"SAP Integrated Business Planning" is not including Business by Design but only IBP, so you will miss a lot of your target group.

I have modified the relevant tags.

Hi @sandeepyr ,

Thanks for the blog.

I have one open question regarding forecasting in the SAP ByD system. (others can also answer if they know for sure) 🙂 

Can we make forecast for Product with Product Specification ID in any way?
