Understanding Inbound Interoperability for Forecast Management

You might receive forecast transactions from a third-party system and need to import them into Forecast Management. The third-party system is responsible for mapping the data into a flat file.

You run the Inbound Flat File Conversion program (R47002C) to copy the data from the flat file to the Forecast Unedited Transactions table (F3460Z1) if you have set up a flat file cross-reference to this table.

Note: We provide transaction type JDEFC for forecast transactions.

You run the Forecast Inbound Processor program (R3460Z1I) to copy the information from the unedited transaction table to the Forecast File table (F3460).
