how to use the imported demand plan quantities in when creating a new demand plan using historical analysis

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To use the imported demand plan quantities when creating a new demand plan using historical analysis, you would need to follow these steps: 1. Import your historical sales data into NetSuite. This data can be from your previous ERP system or any other source of historical sales data. This is necessary because NetSuite's demand planning feature either looks back historically or forward based on forecastable transactions. 2. Once your historical data is imported, you can use the 'Generate Demand Plans' feature in NetSuite. This feature allows you to create a demand plan based on your historical sales data. 3. In the 'Generate Demand Plans' screen, you can specify the method of projection. If you want to use your historical sales data, you should select the 'Sales Forecast' projection method. This method looks into existing sales orders, quotes, opportunities, etc. 4. After specifying your projection method, you can run the 'Generate Demand Plans' feature. This will create a new demand plan based on your historical sales data. Remember, the effectiveness of this process largely depends on the quality and quantity of your historical sales data. If your company does not have a significant amount of historical sales data, you may need to adjust your business process to fit NetSuite's features. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
