I appreciate if someone could explain me the difference between this two options to input a forecast information.

I should make Component forecasting, but not sure which is the right way - through Production Forecast Entries or with Production forecast matrix

Thank you!

    Hi, you should do forecast in Production Forecast Matrix.

    More details:

    The quantity you enter in the Production Forecast Matrix will be stored in the Production Forecast Entries.

    For example,

    Hope this helps.

    Dear YUN ZHU,

    Thank you for you kind reply!

    Does it mean that if I add information directly in Production Forecast Entries, it doesn't show in Matrix?

    I've just tried this action now and I found that added values in Entries doesn't changed the quantity in Matrix, but if I make change in Matrix, it shown in Entries. Am I right?

    I'm wondering how could I track quantities for every customer, when began insertion of real orders? Like one item is looking from different customers and my Forecast is for whole quantity for all customers.

    Is there a way in Microsoft Dinamycs Nav or is easier if I track this with Excel?

    Thank you!

    Kind Regards,

    Gabriela
