In the above diagram, your master scheduler has created three forecast names: FC-WHOLESL, FC-RETAIL, and FC-MAILORDER. You maintain and report on each forecast independently. Note that these forecasts are defined within a forecast set.
Your master scheduler combines all sources of demand, including the three forecasts and all sales orders, into a single statement of demand--the master demand schedule. The master scheduler then plans the master production schedule and the MRP plan with all the demand combined.
