Tracking Forecast Consumption
You can track forecast consumption for both the product family and the member items. The procedure for tracking forecasts for a product family item is the same as that for any individual item.
To see which sales orders consumed the product family forecast, do this:
1. Navigate to the Item Forecast Entries window.
2. Query to find the forecast you're interested in tracking.
3. Navigate to the Forecast Entry for the product family item.
4. Click the Consumptions button to see the consumed quantity for each sales order.
To see which product family items are over-consumed, do this:
1. Navigate to the Forecast Sets window.
2. Query to find the forecast set you're interested in.
3. Click the Forecast Set Items button to see which items on the forecast set were overconsumed.
The Forecast Items window that appears shows both individual items and product family items.
To be notified whenever a product family item is over-consumed, do this:
