Process

These processing options enable you to specify how the system performs edits when generating sales history.

1. Forecast Type

Specify the forecast type that the system uses when creating the forecast actuals. Forecast type is a user-defined code (34/DF) that identifies the type of forecast to process. Enter the forecast type to use as the default value or select it from the Select User Define Code form. If you leave this field blank, the system creates actuals from AA forecast types.

2. Supply Demand Inclusion Rules

Specify the version of the Supply/Demand Inclusion Rules program that the system uses when extracting sales actuals. You must enter a version in this field before you can run the Extract Sales Order History program (R3465).

Versions control how the Supply/Demand Inclusion Rules program displays information. You may need to set the processing options to specific versions to meet the needs.

3. Actuals Consolidation

1: Weekly planning.

Blank: Monthly planning.

4. Large Customer Summary

Specify whether the system creates summary records for large customers when creating actuals. Values are:

1: Creates.

5. Ship To or Sold To Address

Specify whether the system uses the ship to address on which to base large customer summaries, or the sold to address, when creating actuals. Values are:

1: Ship To address.

Blank: Sold To address.

6. Amount or Quantity

Specify whether the system creates detail forecasts with quantities, amounts, or both. Values are:

1: Quantities.

2: Amounts.

1: Both tables.
