Planning > Review Forecast Worksheet: Item 01010

Forecast Worksheet Maintenance (22.2) shows the effect of the new sales order on the net forecast:

• Line 1 for 15 units in week 15consumes forecast. Sales for that week now shows 20 (previously it was 5).

• Line 2 for 15 units in week 20 does not consume forecast so the quantity of 15 displays in the Abnormal column.

The effect of the setting of Forecast Consumption in Sales Order Control (2 periods back and 1 forward) can be seen most clearly with the order for 24 units on week 21. This is 14 more than was forecast for this week.

• The system consumes the 10 for week 20

• Then it consumes the 10 for week 19 (not consumed by the abnormal demand).

• and then consumes 4 in week 21, leaving a net forecast of 6 remaining for that week.

Note: MRP will always plan for the total demand, even when it exceeds forecast.
