Hi All, I m stuck up with Sales Forecasting. My scinario is as follow;
My company is creating Sales Forecast for the following three months. ( i.e. Sept, Oct, Nov'09) The forecasted Qty is fixed for that month. I hv created following Masters: 1) Sales Model 2) Period allocation key ( here, in Lines I have specified 1 month with Allocation percentage 100%) I entered the Forecast of respective Items in Inventory Magmt > Periodic > Forecast > Entry > Items. ( Item A: 200 nos. Date: 5th Sept2009 Item A: 400 nos. Date : 5th Oct2009 Item A: 150 nos. Date : 5th Nov2009) After running the Forecast Scheduling, system has generated Planned Prod & Purchase orders accordingly. After running the Master Scheduling also system has generated Planned Prod & Purchase orders accordingly. Now if I generate the Sales Order today for the september Month's delivery, the planned order against Forecast is getting consumed correctly. However, If I book the Sales Order for the Month of October ( i.e for 15th October) then the system is not consuming the Forecast & generating another Planned Production Order apart from the Planned Prod Orders which has been generated against the forecast. Here, If I changed the system's date to October's date & run the Master Planning then the system is consuming the Forecasted order ( Planned Prod Order ). Can any one help me in understanding that why the system is not consuming the Sales Forecast ( Planed Orders generated against Forecast) for the month other than current month? cheers.. Stuart
