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.
