MPS does not include production forecast demand

Posted on by Community Member

Hello,

I'm in the process of testing the use of the manufacturing component of NAV for my organization and I'm running into a problem where the demand I've created in the production forecast is not being included when I run the MPS. As far as I can tell I've set everything up properly but I just can't explain why this is happening. Any ideas for what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance.

RE: MPS does not include production forecast demand

Have you selected proper value in "Use Forecast" field in "Calculate Plan - Req. Whsh."?

Is Production forecast properly updated with respect to any location?

Yes, I have entered the proper forecast in the "Use Forecast" field and ensured that the forecast period is between the "Starting Date" and "Ending Date" entered.

We are only using the global forecast for planning.

Check how you had setup your forecast:

msdn.microsoft.com/.../hh173219(v=nav.90).aspx

"Note: You should consider which time interval that you want to use for future forecasts so that the time interval is consistent throughout. When you enter a forecast quantity, it is valid on the first day of the time interval that you select. For example, if you select a month, then you enter the forecast quantity on the first day of the month. If you select a quarter, then you enter the forecast quantity on the first day of the first month in the quarter."

I have the time interval set to "Day" as I am testing the MPS over a shorter period of time. And I had followed the guide in the link you provided when I was originally setting up the forecast.

Are you getting any error related to calendar?

What is the "Replenishment System" type for that Item?

When I run the MPS I do not get any errors, but the MPS does not create any planning lines related to the forecast demand.

The "Replenishment System" field on the item card for the item is set to "Purchase".

Check for some other item or production forecast?

This is very standard, and should work without any issue. Check Manufacturing Setup and see if any parameter change would help.

I had already tried changing the demand numbers, creating forecast demand for other items, and creating a new production forecast all with no luck. I did it again just now and the forecast demand still isn't being included when I run the MPS. However, if I create sales orders the MPS will create planning lines for the sales order items but still excludes any forecast demand even though I have made sure that the forecast demand is in excess of the sales order demand.

Here is a screenshot of the Manufacturing Setup.
