Firm Demand

Firm demand represents the demand requirements for items and material that are needed for a specified, future time. You can create and process records to manage firm demand. These records store the information that you use to maintain the requirements, including schedules, sales orders or forecasts, maintenance rules, and other default information that is relevant to suppliers and customers. You can also specify how the system processes cartons, labels, shipments, and notifications, and you can run reports to analyze all of the demand information.
