When NetSuite’s item demand planning module lacks export functionality, you need reliable alternatives to get your data out. Multiple methods exist to extract demand planning data without relying on NetSuite’s limited native options.
Here are five proven methods to export your demand planning data, each designed for different scenarios and data complexity needs.
Export demand planning data through multiple alternative methods using Coefficient
Coefficient provides several export methods that work when NetSuite doesn’t offer native export capabilities. Each method handles different data requirements and complexity levels for your demand planning exports.
How to make it work
Step 1. Use saved search imports for existing searches.
If you already have saved searches for demand planning data, import them directly through Coefficient. This maintains all your search criteria and filters while adding export capabilities that NetSuite lacks.
Step 2. Access records directly for comprehensive data.
Use Coefficient’s Records & Lists feature to access demand planning records directly. Select specific fields like item codes, demand quantities, planning periods, and location data without going through NetSuite’s UI limitations.
Step 3. Build SuiteQL queries for complex exports.
For demand planning exports requiring joins between items, demand forecasts, and order data, use Coefficient’s SuiteQL Query builder. Write custom SQL-like queries to extract up to 100,000 rows per export with complex relationships.
Step 4. Set up automated scheduling.
Unlike manual workarounds, schedule your demand planning exports to refresh hourly, daily, or weekly. This ensures your planning data stays current without manual intervention or remembering to run exports.
Step 5. Include custom fields in your exports.
Coefficient fully supports custom fields in your demand planning module. Export proprietary planning metrics or calculations that standard NetSuite exports might miss, giving you complete data visibility.
Get your demand planning data exported automatically
These alternative methods eliminate manual data entry and screenshot workarounds while providing clean, structured data for analysis. Each method works independently or together for comprehensive demand planning exports. Start exporting your demand planning data with these proven alternatives.
