Why Use This Procedure?
This procedure makes it easier for users that receive annual budgets from customers or perhaps prepare annual budgets themselves, to create a periodized forecast that can be used in the Netting procedure.
The calculation is always based on the part's annual budget. This annual budget shall correspond to the total assumed sales for the following rolling twelve months, in other words it shall not correspond to the current annual pace. Annual budgets can be imported in the Import Annual Budget, loaded from the Prepare Annual Budget or entered manually under the Budget tab in the Update Part.
You can select by a number of alternatives. You can save sales forecasts, as well as consider seasonal fluctuations and distribution. Under Alternative you can choose to round-off to whole numbers. You can also select which part types you want to include in the calculation.
For printout samples please see the Forecast List.
What Update Options Exist for this Procedure?
You can update forecast rows in the Register Forecast and Forecast List procedures. Forecast codes are created and updated in the Register Sales Forecast procedure.
Can Any Charts Be Displayed?
