Demand fair share in the S&OP optimizer is a mechanism to distribute constrained supply across demands by segmenting them and applying tiered costs. The configuration relies on three specific parameters. Number of fair share segments defines how many tiers the demand is split into. Additional tiering costs (default) sets the incremental non-delivery cost for each successive segment, influencing the fulfillment priority. Number of fair share segments late delivery allows for applying different late delivery costs to different segments, providing more granular control over which demands can be fulfilled late when supply is short. These three parameters work in concert to define the fair share logic.

A: Maximum days of coverage is a general inventory management parameter, not a specific configuration for the demand fair share feature itself.

C: Maximum inventory is a standard inventory constraint for the optimizer, unrelated to the specific logic of segmenting and prioritizing demand for fair share.

D: Inventory days of supply is typically a target or output key figure used for inventory planning, not a direct input parameter for configuring fair share logic.

"Demand Fair Share for S&OP Optimizer": This document explicitly lists the key parameters for configuring demand fair share. It details FAIRSHARESEGMENTS (Number of fair share segments)

FAIRSHARECOSTINCREASE (Additional tiering costs (default))

and FAIRSHARELATEDELIVERYSEGMENTS (Number of fair share segments late delivery) as the central settings for this functionality.
