Usage

Use this tab to enter data which affects the forecast consumption process and decrements forecast based on receipt of actual orders. Forecasts are primarily consumed in a backward manner, starting from the date corresponding to the customer need date or the original quoted shipment date. If there is no remaining forecast for the date, the system consumes forecasts for earlier dates. If there is not enough forecast to consume, forecast can be consumed in a forward manner, starting from the date corresponding to the customer need date or the original quoted shipment date.

The length of the backward and foreward forecast consumption windows are defined in the Backward Forecast Consumption field and the Forward Forecast Consumption field.
