Use this activity to change the original required dates and quantities of independent demand orders within a simulation profile. You can modify demand quantities either by applying a change factor or by entering a direct value. The updated quantity and/or date replaces the original demand quantity and/or the required date in the next simulation run using the Simulation Profile option as the Simulation Source.
Editable demand sources are listed in the About Material Planning Simulation document, under the Simulation Profile segment. This includes the project demand sources Project Misc Demand and Project Deliverables, which are planned per project activity by PMRP simulations.
For Master Schedule-planned parts, you can use the Simulation Abnormal Demand toggle to switch Customer Order demand lines between normal and abnormal demand types.
As a result of this activity, the independent demand quantities and required dates are updated. These changes are reflected in the subsequent MRP, Master Scheduling, and PMRP simulation calculations using the Simulation Profile option as the Simulation Source.
