Understanding Outbound Planning Schedule Forecasts

Run the Outbound Extraction - Forecast program (R47062) from the Planning Schedule Forecast menu to generate planning schedule transactions (830/DELFOR) to send to the supplier and to communicate the expected demand for items over a specified period.

Use the data selection on any field in the F3460 table or F3430 table to control which records to select for processing. For example, you can select a data range, forecast type, or specific vendor.

Planning schedule forecast transactions are retrieved from the Forecast File and Vendor Schedule Quantity File tables.
