Additional Options for Multifacility Forecast Consumption

To have interplant demand consume forecast, you need to add the transfer order type to UDC table 40/CF. The system then accumulates ship-confirmed transfer orders in the −SHIP quantity type while still using the orders to consume forecast. Also, regardless of the setting of the Interplant Demand processing option, the system processes interplant demand consistently whether the order is planned demand or firm demand. For example, interplant demand either consumes or does not consume forecast.

If you do not want to use the new quantity types, you can make a copy of the UDC table (34/QT) with the necessary quantity types. The system completes the calculations but does not display them on the time series. The system displays these results when you remove quantity types:

Quantity Type	Description
−FIDU	The system does not write the orders to the time series.
−FID	The system writes the orders to the −ID quantity type.
−TIU	The system does not write the orders to the time series.
−TI	The system writes the orders to the −SO quantity type.
