Forecast reduction with Planning Optimization vs old engine

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 406
Reviewing microsoft documentation I got to this 
 
 
So for example, I have a forecast for item A for 1000 Eaches and then create a sales order for 300 eaches of item A
 
So when I look in item net requirements, it shows Demand Forecast for 700 eaches.
 
The issue comes when I ship that sales order, the sales order changes the status to Delivered and when I go to the item net requirements, the demand forecast is back to 1.000 eaches
 
Any workarounds to solve this? when we work with monthly forecasts, this can be a huge issue, because the forecast never gets reduced by real demand as we  invoice our sales orders.
 
 
Thanks!

    Thanks for confirming what we were suspecting. This is can be very critical for companies with daily invoicing and monthly forecasts.
    Have a great day.

    This is a big issue, and widely discussed by those implementing Planning Optimisation. And I think it's fair to say Microsoft know this!
     
    I do not have any good suggestions for a workaround, but there are two Ideas which I encourage anyone who is interested to vote for:
