In ZUGSEIL, demand is the trigger for fulfillment action. Filling demand is governed by the supply chain management engine.

Demand types

Direct demand is created through these two demand creating objects:

  • internal orders - An internal customer files demand by creating an internal order
  • customer orders - An external customer files demand by creating a purchase order on his side, which creates a customer order on the supplier's side, after the supplier accepts it.

Indirect demand is raised through objects, which result in direct demand. Examples:

  • Production Orders - They create a production plan, which might require material for production. These material requirements boil down to internal orders
  • Surgery plans - in health ecosystem a surgery may require goods (e.g. lenses, surgery kits) or 3rd party services (e.g. anesthetic services) to be at the surgery theater at the right point in time.
  • Service requests - fulfilling service requestes may require material for service delivery

Demand definition

Each demand defining object has mandatory and optional information.

Mandatory information

  • Who - Who filed the demand creating object?
  • Ordered products or services - Which goods should delivered?
  • Cost coverage - Depending on the order type, this is either internal billing information (costcenters, projects, ....) or customer billing information

Optional information

There can be a manyfold of additional information, which can enrich the mandatory information

  • Further ordered product details:
    • variations - what variant of the product is ordered
    • state - which state should the ordered objects have (new / used)
    • alterations - should alterations be done on the product
    • configurations - building instructions for build-to-order contexts
  • International commercial terms (INCOTERMS) - they clarify the obligations of buyers and sellers in foreign trade contract
  • Delivery request plan - How, where and when and in which fractions should the delivery occur?
  • Payment plans - How should the payment take place.
