| | Forecast by Revision to Supplier (cpvmi0503m100) Use this session to view current or past revisions of the forecast that you sent to the supplier regarding the
demand for an item. To specify the number of past revisions LN stores, use the Number of Revisions field in the EP Parameters (cprpd0100m000) session. Plan Item An item with the order system Planned. The production, distribution, or purchase of these items is
planned in Enterprise Planning based on the forecast or the actual demand. You can plan these items by means of the following: - Master-based planning, which is similar to master production
scheduling techniques.
- Order-based planning, which is similar to
material-requirements planning techniques.
- A combination of master-based planning and order-based
planning.
Plan items can be one of the following: - An actual manufactured or purchased item.
- A product family.
- A basic model, that is, a defined product variant of a
generic item.
A group of similar plan items or families is called a product
family. The items are aggregated to give a more general plan than the one
devised for individual items. A code displayed by the item code's cluster
segment shows that the plan item is a clustered item that is used for
distribution planning. Buy-from BP The business partner from whom you order goods or services;
this usually represents a supplier's sales department. The definition includes
the default price and discount agreements, purchase-order defaults, delivery
terms, and the related ship-from and invoice-from business partner. Revision Confirmed Supply For records of order type Confirmed Supply, the Supply field displays the confirmed supply of this
revision. Note To change this field from the current
revision to the previous revision and back, use the corresponding commands in
the appropriate menu. Date Sent The date you sent the forecast to your supplier. Receipt Date Confirmed Supply Accepted If this check box is selected, this revision of the confirmed supply has been accepted. Before a confirmed supply revision has been
accepted, LN does not
take this confirmed supply into account. Sent Date The date of the supply or demand. Order Type The type of order in this record. Examples of order types are Forecast to Supplier or Confirmed Supply. The value of this field can be one of the following
order types: - Stock
- Expected Supply
- Confirmed Supply
- Forecast to Supplier
Confirmed Forecast The part of the total forecast which the customer definitely
expects to consume. If the customer sends the forecast by period to the supplier
that plans the supply, the customer can differentiate between confirmed and
unconfirmed forecast. Typically, confirmed forecast of a component is derived from
actual sales orders and sales schedules of end item. The user can use various
methods to determine how much of the forecast is confirmed forecast. See also unconfirmed forecast. Unconfirmed Forecast The part of the total forecast for which the customer desires a
supply in addition to the confirmed forecast. Possibly, the customer is unsure
whether this quantity will be needed. The sum of the confirmed forecast and the unconfirmed forecast
is the total forecast. Typically, the total forecast includes not only the demand
based on actual sales orders for the customer's end products, but also forecast
demand based on estimated future sales of the customer's end products. See also confirmed forecast. Supply The supplied quantity. The origin of this data depends on the
value of the Order Type field. Total Difference The total difference is an indication of the expected
inventory level. A negative value shows an anticipated inventory shortage. The Total Difference field is a cumulative value, based on the Total Forecast field and the Supply field. Confirmed Difference The confirmed difference is an indication of the expected
inventory level. A negative value shows an anticipated inventory shortage. The Confirmed Difference field is a cumulative value,
based on the Confirmed Forecast field and the Supply field. Minimum Inventory The minimum inventory, as agreed in the applicable terms and
definitions. Maximum Inventory The maximum inventory, as agreed in the applicable terms and
definitions. Unit The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is
recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter. The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure
conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the
price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use
the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all
item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock. Planning Output Planning Total Forecast The value of the Total Forecast field originally calculated in the
