  Demand sequencing is a feature of SAP's Integrated Business Planning (IBP) for Retail and Merchandising (RM) solution. It enables retailers to prioritize and sequence their demand planning activities in order to optimize their supply chain operations. It helps retailers to better manage their inventory levels, reduce costs, and improve customer service. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Demand sequencing can be used to prioritize demand planning activities based on the retailer's goals and objectives. It can be used to identify the most important items that need to be planned first, as well as the order in which they should be planned. It can also be used to identify any potential bottlenecks or constraints in the supply chain that could affect the retailer's ability to meet customer demand. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using demand sequencing, it is important to consider the impact of any changes on the entire supply chain. For example, if a retailer changes the order of their demand planning activities, they should consider how this will affect their inventory levels, lead times, and customer service levels.
