  In SAP LPO, demand can be managed by creating demand plans. Demand plans are used to forecast future demand and plan for production and supply chain activities. They can also be used to monitor actual demand against planned demand. This helps to identify any discrepancies between actual and planned demand, which can then be addressed accordingly.
