Select Demand Forecast Part
Explanation
From the result of you filter selection, you can then select the item
that you want to work with simply by clicking on the wanted item. The sort
order of the filter can be decided by changing the Sort by field and
direction on the top of the part selector.
You can sort by all fields in the Detail View.
In addition to the Detail View fields you have these fields as well :
- Percent Adjusted/Budget, sums the Adjusted Forecast and budget
numbers for all periods in the forecast range. Then we divide ( sum
Adjusted Forecast / Sum Budget ) * 100 this is the value shown in the
part selector. If Percent Adjusted/Budget is 100 it means that the Sum
of the Adjusted Forecast and Budget in the Forecast Range is exactly the
same, when the Percent Adjusted/Budget is > 100 it means that the sum of
the Adjusted Forecast is bigger than the sum of the budget values. Thus
a Percent Adjusted/Budget number bigger than 100 indicates that the sum
of the Budget numbers in the forecast horizon is bigger than the sum of
the Adjusted Forecast numbers.
- Percent Adjusted/Target Sales Plan, sums the adjusted forecast and
Target Sakes Plan numbers for all periods in the forecast range. ( Then
we divide sum Adjusted Forecast / Sum Target Sales Plan ) * 100 this is
the value shown in the part selector.
- Percent Used, needs the Aggregate Daily job to be
scheduled to run once every
day to work. Takes the current periods Adjusted Demand and divides it on
the current periods Adjusted Forecast and multiplies it with 100 this is
the value shown in the part selector. The part with a high value has
consumed more (likely to be sold out?) of the forecast until now in the
current period than a part with a low value (likely to have surplus?).
This number is also displayed in the accuracy tab in Detaul view.
- Percent Adjusted/Events, sums the Adjusted Forecast and absolute
Event numbers for all periods in the forecast range. Then we divide (sum
Adjusted Forecast / Sum Abs Events) * 100 this is the value shown in the
part selector. The bigger the percentage number the larger is the sum of
the Events compared to the sum of the Adjusted forecast for the part.
- Percent Historical Forecast/Events, sums the Historical Forecast and
Historical Event numbers in the set Forecast Error Period range (see
Enter General Server Data).
Then we divide (sum Historical Forecast / sum Events) this is the number
shown in the part selector.
