This document provides instructions for summarizing unconstrained demand data from North America. It outlines 8 key points: 1) Only include standard order types and subtract return orders from the total quantity. 2) Use specified fields to collect the material, customer, and quantity information. Adjust quantities for certain material-unit conversions. 3) Skip reserved orders. 4) Count orders in the month of the requested delivery date. 5) Only include finished goods. 6) Do not collect demand for cancelled orders with certain rejection codes. 7) Do not collect demand for orders from Puerto Rico resulting from a specific transaction code. 8) For a specific rejection reason, calculate demand

The demand is keyed by Material, Ship-to customer and primary servicing location (which is
compatible with the global standard that is being developed for DP in the LA project). We
require that the data is stored for up to 10 years.
1. An order must be one of the following types (vbak-auart):
ZTA, ZBV, ZOR, ZSO, ZDO, ZFS, ZFM, ZRP, ZPO, ZEL, ZGE, ZOE, ZOP, zro, zdd, zml,
zmo, zav, zms, zfd, zfr, zre, zrn, zln, zcc, zar, zmr, zrz, zff, zke, zkr, zrd, zrr, zrs, znr,
zwr, zsc, zex, zxp, zxf, zeo, zer, zec, zed, and zen – Standard Orders
1a. The following order types must subtract from the total quantity: ZDF, ZRE, ZRN, ZAR,
ZMR, ZRZ, ZFF, ZKR, ZNR, ZWR, ZER, ZEN – Returns
2. We use vbep-wmeng as the quantity, vbap-matnr as the material and vbak-pkunwe
as customer. If vbep-meins = 'LB' and vbep-vrkme = 'BX' then the quantity = vbep-wmeng * (
vbep-umvkz / vbep-umvkn ) – convert tread rubber into eachs
3. We skip reserved orders vbkd-bsark = RO
4. We count the order in the month of the requested delivery date vbep-edatu.
5. We need to count the order if the item is relevant for delivery vbep-lfrel = ‘X’ and
vbap-prodh(2) <> ‘06’ and vbap-matnr(2) <> ‘AC’ – exclude non finished goods.
6. We do not collect demand on the following rejection codes: z3(order error), zh, zj,
00, 01, 03, 04, 09, 50, z4, z7, z9, zc, zn (vbap-abgru) – cancelled orders that do not have
valid demand.
7. If vbak-augru = ‘070’ and vbap-abgru = ‘ ‘ or ‘ZS’ we do NOT collect demand (if this is
the result of a VA02 transaction – Puerto Rico- not needed anymore.
8. On rejection reason z8 (vbap-abgru) we take the difference between ordered
quantity and delivered quantity from the ‘Sales Document Flow’ table vbfa in the
following way:
Select sum (rfmng) into temp_sum from vbfa where vbelv = vbap-vbeln and posnv =
vbap-posnr and vbtyp_n = ‘J’ group by vbelv posnv
Endselect.
Quantity = temp_sum
This is special logic for Discount since they reorder everyday; many of the tires
on the order are those they didn’t get the previous day.
