Disaggregate Family Forecast for All Spare Part Families
Explanation
This activity is used to disaggregate family forecasts for all spare Part
families. This background process generates individual spare part forecasts
based on the value defined in the Qty Per field for the spare part and
the Forecast Quantity of the spare part family forecast.
Prerequisites
- A forecast for a spare Part family must be registered.
- In the Disaggregate Forecast for Spare Part
Families dialog box, the Allow Disaggregation option
should be enabled.
System Effects
As a result of this activity,
- The system disaggregates family forecasts for all spare part families,
creating spare part forecasts from the family forecasts for each part belonging
to a family.
- The Overage field in the
Family Parts
tab is updated to show the difference between the last calculated forecast
and the actual (rounded) forecast quantity.
- If there are any past due forecast records for the parts in the family,
a spare part forecast record of type Rolled is created on the run date.
Depending on the value of the roll flag for the part, this Rolled record
contains either the accumulation of all past due forecast quantity, consumed
forecast, and actual demand (if the value is Roll Out) or just past due
consumed forecast and actual demand (if the value is Drop Forecast).
- The Last Run Date field in
MRP Spare Part Family
Forecast is set to the disaggregation run date.
- The Forecast Quantity is seen as part of the gross requirements by the
MRP batch process.
