The Demand Order Detail window allows you to see what specific dependent demands exist for your item.
Dependent Demands are demand orders that are for items further up your bill of materials, or further out on your hub/spoke arrangement. For example, an order for a car creates a dependent demand of 4 wheels and tires if you are building a car.
You can get to this dialog from a variety of places:
- Double clicking the dependent demand time series in the forecast summary chart
- Clicking on an open demand quantity and seeing lines in the Inventory Snapshot Customer Orders tab if dependent demands are being deducted from available quantity.
Columns
The following columns are shown in the list:
- Customer Code - Unique customer code that is on the top-level demand.
- Customer Name - Name of the associated customer
- Ship To Code - Specific ship-to destination code for the associated top-level demand
- Parent Item - The immediate parent in the structure from which this dependent demand is inherited. For a BoM, this is the immediate assembly, usually at the same location.
- Parent Site - Location for that immediate parent. For a BoM, this is usually the same site, but for a hub/spoke, it is likely the spoke site.
- Top Item - The actual item on the original demand order, if different from the immediate parent. If you have a multi-level BoM or a multi-echelon hub/spoke arrangement, the ORIGINAL demand record can differ from those created at each level
- Top Site - Site for this associated top-level demand.
- Demand Date - The date that your selected item is experiencing the demand. This date will usually be offset by leadtime of the parent's assembly time (and any parents above that) from the original demand date of the top item itself.
- Demand Status - Shows if this dependent demand is potentially deducting from the item's available quantity. This is only done when the parent item is a Build-To-Order or Buy To Order item to avoid possibly double-dipping with forecast on parent items using forecast in their order policy
- Line Status - shows the status of the original firm demand, if it is open or closed.
- Quantity - The original quantity of demand that your selected item will experience from whatever the original source of parent demand is (e.g. a parent workorder or transfer).
- Open Quantity - Remaining open quantity from that parent dependent requirement, which will differ from the original order quantity when the requirement has been partially fulfilled.
- Quantity Per - Quantity-Per for this item as it relates to how it fits into its immediate parent assembly. (this is not a cumulative quantity per for a multi-level BoM)
- Structure Type - Shows if this immediate link is due to hub/spoke or BoM linkages.
- Source Order #- Order number of the original firm demand
- Line Number - Line number on that original demand order.
- Parent Order Policy - Order policy on the parent
- Parent Total On Demand- Total customer demand on the parent item
- Parent Available @ LT- On Hand Qty minus Open Customer Demand at lead time for the parent item
- Parent Available- On Hand Qty minus Open Customer Demand today for the parent item
- Parent On Hand- On Hand Qty for the parent today
