Is it possible for Forecast demand in JDE be configured to apply a routing so the demand on manufacturing is in line with that when the Customer Order is
entered?
entered?
Hi, I agree that the out-of-the-box method of building Forecast using Sales History via the R3465 is questionable in its use of SO Request Date. I would have thought it should use Pick Date or should be the lesser of Pick (or Ship) Date and Request Date. Oracle rejected this request (Bug 12489122) arguing that using Ship Date does not work due to late deliveries skewing demand vs Customer Request. I would have thought an option to include a test to use the lessor of the dates would have addressed this concern. Something perhaps you could consider applying to your site extracts.Hi Craig - Thank you for your response. The routing I refer to is the Transportation Module Routing rather than the Manufacturing Route. Its typical for us to have up to 7 days lead time on our transportation routes and this means that when a Firm Order is raised against a forecasts entered ]using F3460 there can be a 7 day difference in the date the parts are required (as initially the forecast only uses the requested date). This is particularly an issue when we are using forecast consumption (H) Planning Fence Rule as the system appears to consume the forecast using the Pick date rather than the promised ship date and then uses the actually ship date once its shipped.
