We are considering a third-party application because the current approach is overly complex. To build a solution, we need to take the Forecast data, process it through Power Automate and Power BI, and then develop a Power App so that users can adjust parameters and feed the results into the Demand Plan. The effort and complexity involved are disproportionate.I believe this is a significant limitation because Demand Planning is disconnected from Forecasting, even though the Demand Plan should be the output of the forecast generated from historical data.
For users with this level of warehousing, if they realise there's an issue after shipping and before invoicing, they have to raise the invoice, followed either by a full return and re-order (so the customer gets a 'clean' invoice), or a return for the 'wrong' line, and send the customer an invoice they know is wrong, along with a credit. This, and the admin time that goes with it, could be avoided by allowing the shipment line to be undone.
