View VMI Supply / Demand Details
Explanation
In a Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) relationship, the supplier is
responsible for initiating and executing replenishments, to maintain the inventory
levels of predefined parts, at company’s site(s). Use this activity when you
want to view information about your VMI-products. It is not possible to change
any information in this page. This activity is intended for a B2B user acting
B2B supplier.
Note:
- The definition of Plan Horizon Date is the date after when an
unlimited supply can be found in the inventory. The earliest date based
on the purchasing lead time and the earliest unlimited supply date is taken
for the plan horizon date.
- In this solution On Hand Qty is defined as the field Usable
Qty in the Inventory Part Availability Planning

- Projected On Hand Qty is calculated by adding On Hand Qty
to all the supplies and reducing all demands within the plan horizon.
