Add, Copy or Reset MS Level 0 Forecast Sets

Explanation

These activities are used to add two or more level 0 forecasts into one forecast or copy or reset forecasts.

When you copy a level 0 forecast from one master schedule set to another, you can copy from only one set at a time.

In addition, you can use this activity to restore the level 0 forecast of one or more master schedule sets. This activity is useful if you want to refresh the forecasts in a specific master schedule set, i.e., start over from the beginning.

This lets you revise the forecast before you transfer it to master schedule set 1, which is the set used by MRP, CRP, and Shop Order. You cannot copy or add a forecast if a Level 0 or Level 1 calculation is being run for one of the selected sets

Prerequisites

To perform this activity, a master schedule set must be registered in order to add, copy or reset it.

System Effects

• When adding to a forecast set, the values from the selected master schedule sets are added into one forecast. If the target set contains forecast values, these values are included. If there is a master schedule proposal in the target set, it is left unchanged. Only forecast fields are combined.
• When you copy forecasts, all forecast information in the target set is deleted before the forecast is copied. Resetting a forecast set means that the value of the selected forecast(s) is set to zero.
• When resetting forecasts, if there is a consumed forecast, the forecast record will not be reset.
