| Generate Demand and Inventory Plan (cpdsp1210m000) |  |
| Use this session to generate the demand forecast for items and item/channel combinations based on historical demand data, and to generate inventory plans for items. The following sessions display the demand forecast and the extra demand: Item Master Plan (cprmp2101m000) Channel Master Plan (cpdsp5130m000) The Item Master Plan (cprmp2101m000) session also displays the inventory plan. Demand forecast Select the Generate Demand Plan check box to generate a demand forecast. Note ERP LN only generates a demand forecast for items for which the Demand Forecast field in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session has the value Generate or Always Update. Note If you selected the Dependent Demand Forecast check box in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session, ERP LN also computes the demand forecast for requirements for manufactured or distributed items, based on their historical demand data. If you select the Generate to Extra Demand check box, ERP LN stores the demand forecast in the Extra Demand field of the item master plan or the channel master plan. If you clear the Generate to Extra Demand check box, ERP LN stores the demand forecast in the Demand Forecast field. Consumption of the forecast demand After this session generates the forecast demand, the customer orders that are already present consume the demand forecast and extra demand in the same or nearby plan periods. Inventory plan Select the Generate Inventory Plan check box if ERP LN must also generate an inventory plan. Note ERP LN does not generate inventory plans for channeled plan items. Note ERP LN only generates an inventory plan for items for which the Inventory Plan field in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session has the value Generate or Always Update. Projected inventory and ATP For normal plan items ERP LN updates the following fields in the master plan after calculating the demand forecast or the inventory plan: Projected inventory Available-to-promise Cumulative ATP For channeled plan items ERP LN updates the Cumulative ATP field in the Channel Master Plan (cpdsp5130m000) session.

To Plan Item | Specify the last of a range of plan items for which ERP LN must generate demand forecasts and inventory plans.
Channel | Specify the first of a range of channels for which ERP LN must generate demand forecasts.
Channel | Specify the last of a range of channels for which ERP LN must generate demand forecasts.
Period | Specify the first of a range of plan periods for which ERP LN must calculate demand forecasts and inventory plans.
Period | This field displays the start date of the first plan period in the range of plan periods for which you want to generate a demand plan and an inventory plan. Related topics Plan periods in Enterprise Planning
Period | Specify the last of a range of plan periods for which ERP LN must calculate demand forecasts and inventory plans.
Period | This field displays the end date of the last plan period in the range of plan periods for which you want to generate a demand plan and an inventory plan. Related topics Plan periods in Enterprise Planning
Planner | Specify the first of a range of planners that ERP LN must use as a selection criterion to generate demand forecasts and inventory plans.
Planner | Specify the last of a range of planners that ERP LN must use as a selection criterion to generate demand forecasts and inventory plans.
Generate Demand Plan | If this check box is selected, ERP LN calculates a demand forecast for item master plans and channel master plans. Note ERP LN only generates a demand forecast for items for which the Demand Forecast field in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session has the value Generate or Always Update. If the Generate to Extra Demand check box is selected, ERP LN generates the demand forecast of all the specified plan items in the specified range to the Extra Demand field of the Item Master Plan (cprmp2101m000) session or the Channel Master Plan (cpdsp5130m000) session, instead of to the Demand Forecast field. Related topics Demand forecasting in Enterprise Planning
Generate to Extra Demand | If this check box is selected, ERP LN moves the calculated forecast to the Extra Demand field in the item master plan instead of to the Demand Forecast field. Related topics Demand forecasting in Enterprise Planning.
Calculate Forecast Settings | If this check box is selected, ERP LN computes the optimal set of parameters and uses them to perform the demand forecast and the inventory plan. Note You can save the optimal set of parameters if you select the Automatic Update of Forecast Parameters check box in the Plan Items - Forecast Settings (cpdsp1110m000) session. If this check box is cleared, ERP LN uses the parameters as you set them in the Plan Items - Forecast Settings (cpdsp1110m000) session to perform the demand forecast and the inventory plan.
Generate Inventory Plan | If this check box is selected, ERP LN generates an inventory plan for the normal plan items in the item master plan. Note ERP LN only generates an inventory plan for normal plan items for which the Inventory Plan field in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session has the value Generate or Always Update.
