Use a demand event when you know about demand the history can’t predict: a one-off order, a display promotion, a festival.
  1. Open Demand events.
  2. Choose one SKU, or all SKUs of a brand.
  3. Choose the weeks the event covers.
  4. Choose the type:
    • % lift raises the model’s forecast across the chosen products and weeks.
    • Quantity adds a fixed number of selling units on top.
  5. Add the customer or context and a note.
  6. Select Add event & recalculate.
Quantity means the selected selling unit. A 4-pack is not the same as a loose can or a 24-can case. Check the pack size before you save.

​
How events combine with other changes

  • A week override still wins over a % lift.
  • Quantity events are added after the override, so an override doesn’t erase them.

​
Remove an event

Use the event’s Remove form and add a note explaining why the demand no longer applies. The removal goes into the decision log.

​
After you save

Check Forecast grid and Materials plan: an extra order can create a packaging shortfall even when the original forecast was covered. When the team should see the change, publish a plan.
