Viewing firm demands - An overview

A “Demand” is reserved against a receipt in advance for upcoming maintenance activities. A demand is created within a warehouse. A demand is firm when it is certain to happen. For example, releasing a visit plan, scheduling a work order, authorizing a material request etc. triggers a firm demand.

If there are no receipts to meet the demand, then the demand becomes a “Problem Demand”.

The system displays details such as the type, date, line number and the schedule number of the document, and the quantity demanded thereof.
