Demand backlog (ERP)

The Demand backlog (ERP) widget, in the Operations chapter, shows the ERP requisition lines still waiting in triage, grouped by the buyer assigned in the ERP. It is the current snapshot and does not depend on the period. It only appears in organizations with imported requisitions.

What counts

Only pending lines of pending requisitions. Requisitions in an approval chain (a different bottleneck) and those auto-closed because they vanished from the ERP are excluded.
Age is measured since import, in four buckets: 0-7, 8-15, 16-30 and over 30 days. Each buyer's bar shows the share of each bucket.
Median age and oldest per buyer, and how many lines have no estimated price in the ERP.
The buyer is a text from the ERP: lines without one show as "Unassigned". These lines have no Sourced buyer yet; that is why they are not counted in the operations-by-buyer table.
The backlog's USD value is not calculated for now.

Relation to the bottleneck map

These same lines enter the "Requisition → PR wait" stage of the map at their current age when the period includes today. The backlog is the detail of that queue.

Go to triage

Clicking a row opens triage filtered by that ERP buyer, ready to launch the lines.
