Manage demand lines
The system identifies conflict between the supply and demand of items based on quantity and availability parameters. This improves visibility and prevents inventory allocation mismatches.
The system compares the quantity and availability dates for items in the trading board entries on the Trading Board page with the corresponding values in the following demand documents:
- Sales Order
- Purchase Return Order
- Transfer Order
- Production Consumption
- Assembly Consumption
For example, if a trading board line has a quantity of 900 KG for an item, but the total demand for the same item across multiple documents (such as a sales order for 315 KG and a production consumption line for 600 KG) is 915 KG, the system identifies this as a quantity conflict because the demand exceeds the available supply.
Similarly, if a trading board line has a quantity of 900 KG for an item and the availability date of 10/5/2025, but a sales order for the same quantity of the item is going to be shipped on 10/3/2025, the system identifies it as an availability date conflict because the demand date precedes the available date.
You can edit the quantity and/or availability dates on documents linked to specific trading board entries to fix the conflict and ensure that all demands are fulfilled.
