Unconsumption

This process attempts to remove overconsumption entries at the forecast set level first, before searching for an appropriate forecast entry to unconsume. See: Overconsumption.

Attention: Return Material Authorizations (RMAs) do not trigger the unconsumption process.

If you change a sales order line schedule date, Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning unconsumes the sales order quantity based on the old schedule date and reconsumes the sales order quantity based on the new schedule date.

Attention: You can create sales orders with due dates beyond the manufacturing calendar to express future demand that has uncertain due dates. Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning consumes the forecast on the last valid workday in the manufacturing calendar. When the sales order schedule date is changed, it unconsumes on the last workday and reconsumes on the sales order line schedule date.
