The system displays the defaults of plant, warehouse, from date, to date and interval based on the specific save template value if one exists. The system checks the selected order.

If the selected order is a demand in a period then the following demand quantities are represented as follows:

The total demand is calculated as the sum of the total demands and order quantity.
If the order category is set as “Sale Order” or “Abnormal Sale Order the system calculates the sale order as the sum of the sale order and order quantity.
If the order category is set as “Production Forecast” then the system calculates the production forecast as the sum of the production forecast and the order quantity.
If the order category is set as “Hierarchy Orders” then the system calculates the exploded forecast as the sum of the exploded forecast and the order quantity.
If the order category is set to “MRP Order”, “Repetitive Schedule Order”, “Unplanned Order”, “Rework Order”, “Subcontract Request created by DP”, “Subcontract Request created by POMS” or “Subcontract order raised by POMS” then the system calculates the dependant demand as the sum of the dependant demand and the order quantity.
All the others are considered as other demands and hence calculated as the sum of other demand and the order the quantity.

If the order status is greater than or equal to “Order Released” and less than “Order Finished” then the system calculates the released order as the sum of the released order and the order quantity.
If the order status is greater than or equal to “Order Finished” then the system calculates the finished order as the sum of the finished order and the order quantity.

The next order in the period is retrieved until all the orders selected in the period are processed.

For each period, the system retrieves the orders for the planning group/item/variant or plant or warehouse. If warehouse is not specified, then the system retrieves the orders of this item across all warehouses of the selected plant.
