Demands

The Demands section allows you to create and manage procurement demands — the parts your company needs to source. Demands can be uploaded in bulk via CSV or added manually one at a time.

Uploading demands

To upload demands, click the Upload demands button and configure the following:

  • Upload type — Add appends new demands to existing ones. Replace clears all existing demands before importing.

  • Reason — Select an existing reason from the dropdown or create a new one (e.g., AOG, stock replenishment).

  • Priority — Select the priority level: AOG, Critical, Routine, or Strategic.

  • File encoding — Select the encoding of your CSV file (UTF-8 is the default).

After selecting your CSV file, the system validates the data and shows a preview of the rows to be imported. Any validation errors are highlighted and can be downloaded as a separate error file. Review the preview carefully and click Confirm to complete the upload.

The CSV file supports the following columns:

  • partNumber (required), condition (required), quantity (required)

  • priceUsd (optional) — target price in USD

  • reason, priority, comment (optional)

  • serialNumber, msnTailSign, location, tagDate, tagFrom, tagDetails (optional)

  • applicability, description, mfr (optional)

Adding a single demand

Click Add demand to manually create a single demand entry. Required fields are part number, condition, and quantity. Optionally, you can specify a target price, reason, priority, and comment.

Summary view

The top of the Demands page shows a summary table grouping demands by reason, priority, and comment. Each row displays the number of items in the group and the upload date. This view provides a quick overview of all demand batches.

Deleting demand groups

To delete all demands belonging to a specific group, click the delete icon in the summary table row. A confirmation dialog shows how many demands will be removed. After confirmation, all demands matching the selected reason, priority, and comment combination are permanently deleted.
