Before you start
The page provides two context selectors at the top right, which enable you to specify the context of the customer and product data combination that displays. Both context selectors only give options for all levels of the hierarchies.
The context selectors include a Find... field where you can search for an option. To search for an option, enter a numeric reference ID, alphabetic name, or a partial name in the Find... field.
Demand Planner Dashboard
Based on the context selectors chosen, the dashboard updates to show you a variety of key demand planning metrics. These are used to provide a snapshot of current performance of the demand plan, as well as the forward-looking forecast.
The metrics on the left include:
- Demand Plan vs Statistical Forecast
- Demand Plan vs Commercial Plan
The metrics at the bottom focus on:
- Products with High Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE)
- Under Forecasted Products
- Over Forecasted Products
Use the graph to track the forward view of the rounded stat forecast, final demand forecast, and final commercial plan for the product-customer combinations selected.
