Which statement accurately describes the Demand table?

The Demand table is essential for managing how demand is represented in supply chain planning. It includes both independent and dependent demand information because independent demand refers to demand that is not influenced by the demand for other products (such as finished goods), while dependent demand is derived from the demand for independent items (such as components or raw materials needed to produce finished goods).

By incorporating both types of demand, the Demand table provides a comprehensive view that enables better forecasting and planning. This distinction is crucial in understanding how demand for products affects and relates to the overall supply chain.

Other statements that suggest the Demand table solely contains records for forecasted demand, links independent demand to supply records, or tracks only planned allocations do not capture the full scope of what the Demand table encompasses. These aspects may be involved in demand planning, but they do not reflect the full functionality and purpose of the Demand table in offering a holistic view of demand.
