  Key Concepts: 
  Supply and Demand Matching (SDM) is a component of SAP's Advanced Planning and Scheduling (AP-SDM SCM) suite. It is a tool that helps companies match supply and demand in order to optimize their supply chain operations. It uses advanced algorithms to analyze data from multiple sources, such as sales forecasts, inventory levels, and customer orders, to identify potential supply and demand mismatches. The tool then provides recommendations on how to adjust the supply chain to better meet customer needs.

  To use Supply and Demand Matching, companies must first input their data into the system. This includes sales forecasts, inventory levels, customer orders, and other relevant information. The system then uses advanced algorithms to analyze the data and identify potential mismatches between supply and demand. Once identified, the system provides recommendations on how to adjust the supply chain in order to better meet customer needs.
