Define how much of a product forecast quantity should be directed to a PeopleSoft Inventory business unit. |
PeopleSoft Supply Planning uses forecast percentage to allocate the forecast that is defined for a product (defined in the PeopleSoft Order Management business unit) among multiple PeopleSoft Inventory business units.
In PeopleSoft Order Management, you can define forecasts at the product and order-management business unit level. A single product and PeopleSoft Order Management business unit combination might correspond to an inventory item that is held at multiple PeopleSoft Inventory business units. Forecast percentages map the product at the PeopleSoft Order Management business unit to one or more inventory items at the PeopleSoft Inventory business unit level to enable PeopleSoft Supply Planning to use inventory items.
You can link a PeopleSoft Order Management business unit to more than one PeopleSoft Inventory business unit. This table lists how you can allocate the forecast percentage:

Forecast Percentage |
Enter the percent to allocate a specific forecast percentage to the business unit or product and business unit combination. The percentage can be any number. Even if you define more than one effective-dated percentage, the system does not require that the percentages total 100 percent; totals can also exceed 100 percent. |
