Master Planning, Forecast plan, Past demand

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Steven Eland 5

Hi All.

I have a master planning query. I have a client who generates no demand in AX. All of their commitment comes into master planning through a forecast.
Recently some of their demand dates have lapsed, and the requirement dates are in the past. Master planning now ignores these!

I have read up that forecast planning occurs ignores old demand by design. I can understand this, although in this instance, the forecast does represent actual commitment.

Is there a method to make master planning consider the whole forecast, or is the only method to fix the dates in the forecast?

Thanks

    Hi Steven,

    The only resolution I see is fixing the dates, as  forecast planning works that way by design.

    Regards,

    For info, Ganesh is correct.

    I had to find a work around for the issue.

    If you have not started making it by the time the demand is in the past you have trouble :-) I presume your workaround was to move the date to today or later for unfulfilled demand you wanted to actually make?

    Hi Steven. Yes, this was specific circumstances surrounding a development to bring in sales demand from a 3rd party system. Evidently using forecasts for actual demand isnt ideal.
