period of forecast and forecast allocation and consumption

[Former Member]

All,

As I know, when we define a forecase(demand) for a material, we can define it in period monthly , weekly or dayly, both in APO and ECC.

But we only can define the allocation and consumption as backward or forward and No. of days.

It seems that we can define forecase monthly, but we can define the allocation and consumption monthly. Am I right?

Such as  forecase in Sep. is 1000pc, consumpstion backward 30 Days, but some of orders in Oct. can allocation and consumpte this forecase.

Is this SAP standard?

How can we do the forecase and allocation and consumption monthly?

means forecase in Sep. , only the orders in Sep. can allocated and consumpte this forecase.

Thanks.

Hi, Monthly and Weekly based consumption functionality is provided as of SCM 7.01.

All,

Just one more question, do we have the same function in ECC?

Or how to do in ECC?

Thanks.

Hello,

Bucket-oriented forecast consumption is available in SAP Enhancement Package 1 for SAP APO 7.0.

The principle of the bucket-oriented consumption modes is that forecast is only consumed within the specified bucket and forecasts of other periods are unconcerned:

As was mentioned by Anil, Business Function SCM_APO_DP_SNP_CTM needs to be switched on.

HI,

To have consumption of forecat another than daily, you might need to activare business function SCM_APO_DP_SNP_CTM .
