Re: Forecasting

Why would you create a forecast in MRP100 with customer P.O.'s ?? I t does
not make sense to me. Just add it as a forecast not linked in any way to a
salesorder/PO, then there should be no way product will ship based on
forecast.
Only shipment would be from actual orders, as it should be.

Re: [BPCS-L] Forecasting






UPI has great solutions to common problems.
I have suggested to my company that we use MRP100, to avoid the Infor
extortionist prices for adding FOR to our contract.
However, we create real customer orders 5+ weeks out with Customer PO
FORECAST which in my opinion creates extra work to manage, like when a
FORECAST gets accidentally shipped.

To All:

We are on 45Cd and we are trying to set up system forecasting for the
first time. In the past we had done the forecasting manually putting

data

into the JFI file. We would like set up the forecasting for the system

to

fill the buckets based on last years sales. Does anyone have a list of
steps to set this up? I have run the FOR010 the forecast basis which
cleared out the old forecast, but I have not been able to get the new one

in. Thanks for any help
