Hi,
what do you think about adding the following fields to the SalesForecast
entity?
quantityUomId
quantity
productId
productCategoryId
This is what I'd like to achieve:
a) the new field quantityUomId could be used to specify the uom id for
the new quantity field
b) the new quantity field could be used to specify a sales forecast in
terms of number of units (if quantityUomId is null), or in terms of, for
example, tons of items (if quantityUomId is set to ton)
c) productId could be used to specify the product id to which the sales
forecast refers (e.g. WG-1111)
c) productCategoryId could be used to specify the product category id to
which the sales forecast refers (e.g. Widgets)
The next steps would be these:
1) create ui and services to manage the entity
2) change the MRP to optionally take into account the sales forecasts
over a period of time and create requirements for them
3) we'll need to find a way to specify a 'family of product' for
planning purposes, that the mrp will explode into a set of real products
(with different percentages); using a special type of ProductCategory is
probably a good option (this is one of the reasons for which I'm asking
you to add the SalesForecast.productCategoryId field).
Does it make sense?
