QuoteCQ: How to Use the Demand Aggregation for Multi-Sites

Get an idea of what your forecast if going to look like for the year across your sites, and use that information in your negotiations

Users with multiple sites can now import their forecast and get an aggregated demand based on the QTYs imported/needs for each of the sites. We've got a possible breakdown below: 

MPN Customer Site Total QTY Total Demand
ABC CustomerA_SiteA

100

1000
ABC CustomerA_SiteB 400 1000
ABC CustomerB_SiteA 500 1000

 

In this scenario, you might have multiple lines with the same MPN, but for different Sites, as shown in the table above.

When importing the BOM, you will need to map the Site column. The lines will be uploaded as usual with no obvious changes, but the Site will be indicated.

In the Material Costing tab, the lines will still be separated by Site as usual and the Total Qty Per component will be also displayed as usual.

When opening up the CQPS you will find two total quantities. 

  • Total Qty: this is the total requested quantity for that specific line. It is the MPN Qty Per * Assembly Qty.
  • Total Demand: this is the sum of total qty for the common MPNs across the different Sites.

When sending the lines to the Suppliers, they will be able. to identify the demand for each Site and the total demand.
