Demand Plan¶

A Demand Plan is a dated version of expected demand. It preserves calculation origin, statistical baseline, and collaborative evolution without confusing those series.

Logical header¶

Field	Required?	Meaning
ID	Yes	Version identity
Name	No	Human-readable scenario name
Execution profile	Yes	Policy used to generate the plan
Origin date	Yes	First forecast bucket
Horizon	Yes	Periods covered
Frequency	Yes	Planning Bucket Size
Unit	Yes	Unit in which values are stored or shown
Status	Yes	Execution, review, collaboration, or release
Origin version	No	Relationship to an earlier cycle or scenario, when applicable

Logical lines¶

The minimum line key is:

Demand Plan × material × location × period

Measures can include baseline, stage adjustment, and consolidated demand. Derived series must preserve a traceable relationship with the baseline and the event that changed it.

Dependencies¶

Materials and Locations.
Units of Measure.
calendar and Planning Bucket Size.
Execution Profile that created the version.
selected Sell-out or Sell-in history.
