• Key Concepts: 
  Demand and supply matching is a process used in SAP Supply Chain Planning and Control (SCM-SCP) to ensure that the right amount of goods are available at the right time. It involves analyzing customer demand and supply data to determine the optimal balance between supply and demand. This helps to ensure that customer orders are fulfilled on time and that inventory levels are kept at an optimal level. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Demand and supply matching can be used in SAP SCM-SCP by setting up a demand plan. This plan will include information about customer demand, such as order quantity, delivery date, and other relevant data. The system will then analyze this data to determine the optimal balance between supply and demand. Once the optimal balance is determined, the system will generate a supply plan that will ensure that customer orders are fulfilled on time and that inventory levels are kept at an optimal level. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a demand plan, it is important to ensure that all relevant data is included. This includes customer order quantity, delivery date, and any other relevant information. Additionally, it is important to regularly review the demand plan to ensure that it is up-to-date with current customer demand.
