Integration from Demantra to Service Parts Planning

Starting in Service Parts Planning (SPP) in the E-Business Suite, planner collects history data for Demantra
Demand Planning. The data is loaded into the Demantra staging tables by the import workflows. If the
planner has history data in a legacy application, this can be collected for forecasting in Demantra Demand
Planning in the same way.
Within Demantra Demand Management, planner can open three SPF worksheets.
These include:
• SPF: Analyze Forecast Organization Latest Revision
• SPF: Analyze Forecast Latest Revision
• SPF: Analyze Organization Base Model Spare
Planner makes modifications to these worksheets to fine-tune the forecast. Once an acceptable forecast has
been arrived at using the engine profiles that support service parts forecasting, the new forecast and metrics
can be published to Service Parts Planning.
In SPP, the planner includes the published Demantra forecast as a Demand Schedule in the SPP plan
options.
From the Service Supply Chain Planner, Standard responsibility, the Service Parts
Forecasting (Demantra) menu is available for the integration between Service Parts
Planning and Demantra.
