Consuming New Forecasts
Automatic forecast consumption, as controlled by the Planning Manager, consumes existing forecasts with each sales order created. New forecasts you create are consumed only by the sales orders created after forecast creation. You can, however, apply sales orders already consumed by other forecasts to the new one.
Note: This process does not replace the automatic consumption function of the Planning Manager.
To consume a new forecast:
1. Navigate to the Forecast Sets window. Query the set name that includes the new forecast. Choose the Consume button to open the Consume Forecast Set window.
2. Navigate directly to the Consume Forecast Set window. Select the set name that includes the new forecast.
3. Select a number of sales orders within the demand time fence to include. Including only sales orders from today forward is useful if your forecast begins today, and/or if the forecast begins on the first day of a period, rather than in the middle of a period.
5. Choose Submit to begin the process.
Note: This process considers only sales orders that have already been consumed by automatic forecast consumption through the Planning Manager. It does not consider sales orders pending in the Planner Manager that have not been processed.
