Distribution Center Sales Forecast

On this window, select a Distribution Center in the drop-down list. Then select an item (only items with a reorder policy defined for the distribution center can be reached). One can also select "(Central)" in the drop-down list to enter the forecasts of direct delivery from the plant.

The calculated sales forecasts are depicted in the Calculated Frcst line. These forecasts come either from the disaggregation of the S&O plan for the sold items, the global forecast being broken down on to distribution centers using the coefficient specified on the Item Order Policy window, or from the Demand Forecasting module.

These forecasts can be manually modified by entering forecast slacks in the Frcst entry line.

The sales orders consuming the forecast are reported in the Ord. Consum. line.

The Table button shows the forecasts for all the items managed in the selected distribution center (or plant).

The Summary shows the summary of distribution center forecasts for the selected item.
