Purpose

Question 1. Currently running R3465 (Refresh Actuals) with a bogus date to clear the forecast table. Could we do a truncate instead?

Question 2. A forecast has been created for a finished product and there is a need to forecast the raw material included on the parent item's bill of material. Is this possible?

Question 3. How should Product Variants be Forecasted?

Question 4. A processing option exists in Enter Change Forecast that references P34007, Forecast Price (P34007). What is P34007 and how does it work? Is the price pulled from the Base Price file (F4106)?

Question 5. Table F3460 has MFFQT & MFUORG quantities for MF and BF forecast types. What do the two types represent? For the AA forecast type MFFQT and MFUORG appear to be the same

Question 6. What is the importance of MFDCTO field in F3460 file? Why it is updated as FC when forecast is added? Can it be different, and will it affect Planning?

Question 8. Is there an option to create a sales order from a forecast record in P3460?

Question 10: In P34200 Work With Summary Forecast, drill down to the bottom item level, select it and take the row exit to Revise Actuals. P3460 opens with the item populated in the Branch/Plant field. This causes an error message Branch/Plant Invalid. Why?

Question 11: For a forecast summary constant consisting of two (2) numbered levels and an item summary (level 3), adding a Customer Level as level 04 or 05, results in error: A level has been skipped. Why?
