Forecast Consumption

When you use the Sales Order Entry module to create a sales order for inventory parts that have open sales forecast quantities in MPS, Costpoint uses several MPS settings to determine which forecasts to consume.

Note: Sales orders do not consume user-defined forecasts.

The following examples illustrate how the Default Consume Forecast by Period Method and Consumption Preference options on the Configure Master Production Schedule Settings screen affect the way Costpoint consumes forecasts.

Consider the following unconsumed forecasts:

Date Open sales forecast SO line demand
6/01/08 200 0
6/10/08 200 0
7/29/08 200 0
7/30/08 200 0
7/31/08 200 0
8/01/08 200 0
8/02/08 200 0
8/06/08 200 0
