Demand Rules and Maintenance

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Scheduling system enables you to maintain demand requirements that you receive from the customer. Demand rules include demand data and cumulative quantities that you set up at the customer and ship to level. These rules define how requirements are updated during the shipping process.

For example, demand rules enable you to:

• Specify the day on which a customer's week begins, which enables you to determine whether a demand record is associated with the current week or the prior week.

• Adjust shipment dates for nonworking days.

• Increase or decrease cumulative quantities when updating the cumulative quantity that was shipped.

• Replace the existing demand with the new demand that is associated with a particular ship to record.

• Calculate ahead or behind values to adjust the demand before you create the sales order.

• Establish shipment and delivery times based on the values for Branch/Plant, ship to, or sold to time zones.
