Manage conflict calculations
You can apply the conflict calculation type when calculating the trading board in the Calculation Type field on the Trading Board Filter page. For more information, see Use the trading board.
The system compares the quantity and availability dates for items in the trading board entries with the corresponding values in demand documents and displays Conflict in the Conflict field on the Entries FastTab of the Trading Board page.
On the Demand Lines FastTab, you can view details about the conflicts between the selected trading board entry and the demand lines related to corresponding outgoing documents in the following fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Conflict | Specifies whether the demand line has a quantity or availability date conflict, meaning that the demand cannot be fulfilled. |
