Disaggregate Family Forecast for One Spare Part Family

Explanation

This activity is used to disaggregate forecasts for the currently displayed spare part family. This background process generates individual spare part forecasts based on the Qty Per and the Overage filed values for parts belonging to the currently displayed spare part family.

Prerequisites

• A forecast for the spare part family should be registered.
• This activity also requires that the allow disaggregation flag be set for the forecast to disaggregate.

System Effects

As a result of this activity:

• Disaggregates family forecasts for all spare part families, creating spare part forecasts from the family forecasts for each part belonging to a family.
• The Overage field in the Family Parts tab is updated to show the difference between the last calculated forecast and the actual (rounded) forecast quantity.
• If there are any past due forecasts records for the parts in the family, a spare part forecast record of the type Rolled is created on the run date. Depending on the value of the roll flag for the part, this Rolled record will contain either the accumulation of all past due forecast quantity, consumed forecast, and actual demand (if the value is Roll Out) or just past due consumed forecast and actual demand (if the value is Drop Forecast).
• The Last Run Date field in MRP Spare Part Family Forecast is set to the disaggregation run date.
• The Forecast Quantity is seen as part of the gross requirements by the MRP batch process.
