Calculation of Forecast Fulfillment Percentage

Forecast fulfillment percentage or 'Forecast fulfillment %' is calculated using this formula: 

'Forecast fulfillment %' = ('Customer orders' / forecast) * 100 %

'Customer orders' is the sum of 'costumer order – open' and 'costumer order – shipped'.

If forecast is zero, 'Forecast fulfillment %' is set to 100.
