Forecast Demand (WO10.1)

Use Forecast Demand (WO10.1) to manually type forecast demand for finished goods to be produced by the application.

Processing Effect

When you type a forecast demand, it is created in Unreleased status. You can change the quantity of a finished-good item for a specific date needed while it is in Unreleased status. If you have released the demand and want to change the quantity, unrelease the line, change the quantity, and release it again.

Released forecast demand records are selected when you schedule production for the finished good. While the forecast demand is being used in production scheduling, the status on this form will show as In Scheduling.

If the forecast demand is selected in production scheduling to be included on a work order, the forecast demand record is deleted. If the forecast demand is not selected in production scheduling, when scheduling is finished for the item, the status of the forecast demand will change back to Released.
