- Top Down Demand Planning: Helps you to manage demand planning inputs at the aggregate level, and disaggregation to the leaf level of the hierarchy.
- Demand Planning Worksheet: Allows demand planners to view the forecast on a weekly basis, both in terms of units and revenue.
- Demand Planner Home Page: Provides you with the forecast overview so you can also compare and analyze different production scenarios to capture profit and loss numbers.
