# Demand forecasts and supply constraints

Synthetic business case

Connect demand, supply, inventory targets and capacity by material and location to inspect planning exceptions.

## Business question

When demand rises, can supply and capacity still support inventory targets?

## Who it is for

Demand planning, supply planning and S&OP teams

## Business objects

- Demand forecasts
- Supply plans
- Material locations
- Inventory targets
- Capacity constraints

## Try the workflow

1. Inspect linked business records — Select sample SOP-202606 and inspect demand forecasts, supply plans, material locations and their linked records.
2. Analyze risk and source evidence — Analyze demand increases and supply gaps against inventory/capacity constraints and exception rules.
3. Edit source data and recalculate — Edit the demand-forecast source record, recalculate and compare the new supply/demand exception proposal.
4. Review and track the current response — Review the evidence for supply/demand trade-offs, progress approvals and tasks as guided, and inspect planning records.

## Adapt to your business

- Align materials, locations, planning periods and forecast versions.
- Confirm service targets, inventory targets, capacity units and planning-exception approvals.
- Use existing enterprise roles and resource permissions. This package is a synthetic business example; live SAP connections and updates require separate integration and validation.
