Disaggregate Family Forecast for One Spare Part Family
Explanation
This activity is used to disaggregate forecasts for the currently displayed
spare part family. This background process generates individual spare part forecasts
based on the Qty Per and the Overage filed values for parts belonging
to the currently displayed spare part family.
Prerequisites
- A forecast for the spare part family should be registered.
- This activity also requires that the allow disaggregation flag be set
for the forecast to disaggregate.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- 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 forecasts records for the parts in the family,
a spare part forecast record of the type Rolled is created on the run date.
Depending on the value of the roll flag for the part, this Rolled record
will contain 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.
