Forecast Explosion

Forecast explosion explodes the forecast of a model item into separate forecasts for all underlying option classes and options.

Select Explode model forecasts if you want a model forecast from a demand schedule to explode in supply planning. If the Explode model forecasts option isn’t selected, supply planning pulls the demand measures specified in the End Item Demand for the demand schedule. It also pulls in the demand from the measure Final Option Demand Forecast.

Select Use forecasted planning percentages instead of collected data to specify whether the planning percentages used for the forecast explosion process in supply planning are from demand planning or the Oracle Fusion Product Model.

Configure the forecast explosion parameters on the Plan Options page, Supply tab, Forecast Allocation and Consumption subtab.
