Forecast Horizon issue

[former_member215376]

Dear Experts,

Please share your experience in using the Forecast Horizon field under SNP2 tab in product master (MAT1) in APO. Apparently in our case, the Forecast (FA) covered by the defined forecast horizon is being deleted. Questions are:

1. What is the triggering point of the deletion of the forecast? Upon SNP heuristics, or CIFed sales order - forecast consumption or other else?

2. Impact of this behavior in SNP point of view?

Looking at help (F1) of Forecast Horizon, it's not being explicitly being said the after effect/result in the Forecast key figure and only the Total Demand is being explained.

Looking forward for your usual help on this.

Thanks and best regards,

AA

Hi,

well this is done via macros in SNP dataview. The forecast horizon is a period for which forecasts should not be considered hence SNP heuristic will not plan this demand for the forecast horizon.

Also the /SAPAPO/OM_REORG_DAILY report will consider them as consumed and will change the forecast with a quantity of 0. You might still see this orders in product view if you display orders with 0 quantity.

Best regards,

Cyrille.
