  Maintenance demand is a term used in SAP's Maintenance and Service Planning (MSP) component of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO). It is a type of demand that is created when a customer requests maintenance services for an item or asset. This demand is then used to plan and schedule the necessary resources and activities to fulfill the customer's request. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Maintenance demand can be created in SAP MSP by entering the customer's request into the system. This request can include information such as the item or asset that needs maintenance, the type of maintenance required, and any other relevant details. Once the request is entered, it will be used to generate a maintenance plan that will be used to schedule the necessary resources and activities.

This will help ensure that the maintenance plan generated is accurate and complete.
