Generate Planned Supply based on Forecast (cpvmi1211m000)

Use this session to carry out an order-planning based on the forecast received from your customer.

This session functions almost exactly like the Generate Order Planning (cprrp1210m000) session. Instead of regular demand data, this session uses the forecast you received from your customer. The session plans only the plan items for which the VMI Relation field in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session is Create Supplier Forecast.

To base the planned supply only on the confirmed part of the forecast, set the Confirmed Supply Based On field in the Planning Terms and Conditions (tctrm1135m000) session to Confirmed Forecast.
