Use

Forecast values indicate the future consumption for a material within a certain period.

Activities

Forecast values are usually determined by the system in forecasting and updated in the material master record. However, you can enter forecast values manually for the following purposes:

  • As a basis for material requirements planning

  • To correct the forecast values calculated by the system

This is necessary, for example:

  • If less is to be produced because of the run-up to the company holidays

  • If higher consumption is expected due to an imminent advertising campaign
