How You View Model Forecast and Sales Order Together

In the configure-to-order process, the execution system transacts the configured item using a unique item identifier that's different from the model item identifier. To make effective planning decisions, you need to view the model forecast, and the supply and demand orders together.

You can view the model forecast and the sales order together in the Material Plan table.

By viewing the model forecast and sales order together, you can analyze and make effective supply and demand decisions in a configure-to-order environment.
