requirement

Hi,

can any body tell how requirement from forecasting comes in MC94,what are the required setting in master data , img etc.

pl explain with ex.

Basabt,

There are some configurations related to Forecast:

Check these:

Weighting Groups for Weighted Moving Average

In this step, you define the weighting groups for the forecast model

"weighted moving average".

In the forecast calculation, the weighting group in the material master

record makes it possible to assign a weighting factor to the historical

values. This means, for example, that you can weight the historical

values in the near past more than the values in the more distant past.

This weighting value is allocated per consumption value.

Behind each weighting group are several weighting factors. Every

weighting factor is allocated to a historical value.

Define Splitting of Forecast Requirements for MRP

In this step, you define:

o the periodicity in which forecast requirements are taken into

consideration and are split on the time axis in MRP

o for how many periods the forecast requirements are taken into

consideration in the net requirements calculation

The splitting indicator is defined depending on the period indicator.

The period indicator defines the periodicity used to record the

historical values for the forecast and the periodicity to be used to

output the forecast values.

However, this periodicity may be too large for the planning run.

Therefore, you can use the splitting indicator to,

o split monthly values into daily and weekly forecast requirements,

and to

o split weekly forecast values into daily forecast forecast values.

In this step, you can also limit the number of forecast requirements for

which the net requirements calculation is to be carried out.

To split the forecast requirements for a material, the splitting

indicator defined here is assigned in the material master record.

Note

The splitting of the forecast requirements is only relevant for capying

forecast values to MRP. It has no influence on the forecast execution.

Example

Month 1 2 3 4 5 6

Forecast values 100 100 100 100 100 100

The planning run should provide the following forecast values:

in the 1st month daily

2nd month weekly

3rd - 6th month is also taken into account

Here, you must set the following defaults in the system:

Number of days = 1

Number of weeks = 1

Periods = 4

The following forecast values result for material requirements planning:

Month 1: forecast requirements are created for every workday

Month 2: on the first workday of the week, a requirement of 25 is

created

Month 3 to 6: on the first workday of the month, a requirement of

100 is created

Planned orders are not created for the entire planning horizon but

only for 6 months.

Hi Basant,

Either you have to create requirements manually for your products or product group or upload through excel sheet with Zprogram similar to MC94. as per my knowledge there is no specific settings are requires in material master for the forecast requirements.

If want to do the forecasting then maintan forecasting view with forecast periods and perform forecasting from MP30. These forecasted values will be availabe in MD04 as forcreq but not in MC94. Real time inventaory data (consumption values) must exists for the forecasting.
