@amjedashraf Power BI actually can be a fantastic platform for planning. You might want to look at Acterys https://www.acterys.com which offers extensive features (8 custom visuals, Acterys Power BI Sync for write-enbabling any Power BI model) for demand planning and has transformed planning process alongside significant cost savings at some of the biggest organizations in the world.

@amjedashraf , The information to less to suggest some solution.

Ideally, Power BI is not a demand planning tool. But there are few Articles around the same, see if they can help

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

Hi Amit,

 

Below are few senarios.

 

Stock Allocation:

 

Below for exmaple stock received at Warehouse

 

ProductStocksStore
a34Warehouse
b35Warehouse
c36Warehouse
d37Warehouse
a38Warehouse
b39Warehouse
c40Warehouse
d41Warehouse
a42Warehouse
b43Warehouse
c44Warehouse

 

Below are the is the situtation at store, now system could use AI to idenfity which store is have low stocks and automatically creates a allocation/ distribution. like Product A  QTY: 5 Store allocation : D

 Store AStore BStore CStore D

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

Hi Greg,

 

Days of supply can be calucated with a formula, like current stocks/avg.per days sales.

 

But this need a AI algo to check some conditions, Like Sales & Stocks of a partiuclar store and then some future events then allocate a partcilar stock to the store.
