Parts Demand Calculation

A single demand entry (1) will be made by each sales order to a part's profile regardless of the number of times that part is sold on that one order.

Only one credit demand entry (-1) will be made by each sales order regardless of the number of times that part was returned on that one order.

However, if a part is sold (1) and returned (-1) on the same sales order the demand entry will be zero.

[e.g. 1 +(-1) = 0].

Note:  
Demand will be calculated the same way for both sales orders and work order requisitions.
Work Order Adjustments are treated as demands based on the following logic:
If '$W/O ADJ$' is in the Ship Via field on Customer - Work Order Header, then do not include these records in the demand calculation since this is an adjustment to an existing line.
If '$W/O ADJ/REV$' is in the Ship Via field on Customer - Work Order Header, then include these records in the demand calculation since this is reversing the original line.

Branch transfers will not record demands.

Depending on the settings for the Lost Sales code used on a part, a demand may be recorded for a lost sale.

Abnormal Sales If you wish to have ALL sales to a certain customer to be coded as one time sales, they will not record transactions as a bin trip or update the parts sales buckets. You would simply select Abnormal Sale in the Terms field of the Customer Profile. will not record demands. Returns can be setup to be handled as abnormal sales so that no demand details are affected.
