10. Review and export the Demand Plan

After collaboration, the planner needs to read the consolidated result and produce portable evidence. This chapter separates two actions: reviewing the plan and exporting its detailed dataset.

1. Open Sales/Demand Overview

Hover over Demand Planning and open Visibility > Sales/Demand Overview. In the selection workspace:

  1. choose Demand Plan 2;
  2. keep 12 historical periods;
  3. select TON;
  4. click Open overview.

Demand Plan, periods, TON, and Open overview highlighted

Action to perform

Check the scenario and unit before opening the workspace. Averages and series expressed in different units are not comparable.

2. Read the indicators and chart

The workspace shows local filters, the historical average, and the Demand Plan average. In the tutorial scenario, the aggregate values displayed are 1,510 TON for history and 1,597 TON for the plan.

Sales/Demand Overview filters and averages

The chart connects the 12 historical months in 2026 to the January-through- December 2027 horizon. The dataset contains every required month, so the first historical period is not empty.

2026 history and the 2027 Demand Plan

How to interpret it

A higher plan average does not prove sustainable growth. Use the material and location filters to find the source of the difference and relate it to the adjustments approved in the previous chapter.

Hover over Data and open Operations > Data Operations.

Data menu with Data Operations
