Planning Worksheets - BC 19.2 SaaS

Posted on by AntonioKD 432

Hello Everyone! 

I have 2 questions about Plannig Worksheet:

1. When I run the Planning Worksheet in BC, it will calculate the demand for me based on the entered DEMAND FORECAST - if I introduce 5 pieces in a given week, he will plan to create one production order for 5 pieces - is it possible to configure it in a standard way so that he can plan 5 orders with 1 piece?

2. Is it possible to exclude demand from sales orders from the calculation in the planning worksheet? So that the demand is calculated only on the basis of forecast, not forecast + sales orders?

Thank you in advance!

    1. You can set your Max. Order Quantity to be 1, which would generate 5 Production Orders each for a Qty. of 1.

    2. Within the Demand Forecast, if you are using the Sales Forecast, the system will only do Forecast + Sales if your Sales exceed your Forecasted Sales Amount for the Item.

    Ad. 1 Ben, you mean Max. Order Quantity  on Item Card? I fill "1" and system still generate 1 Production Order of 5 PCS.

    if you put the max in item card to 1 it will generate 5 production order and each for 1 PCS.

    Are you using multiple Locations and Stockkeeping Units?  If so, you will need to set the Planning Parameter on the SKU for the suggestion to change for that Location.

    I even ran a quick test in the latest cloud environment to make sure nothing had changed.  I received a planning suggestion of 5 lines, each with a quantity of 1.
