Adjusting Shipped sales orders from total demand
Summary:
The scenario is from an un-constrained supply plan with forecast consumption in daily buckets . we are using telescoping buckets (180 daily and 18 periods)
when gross forecast is monthly/weekly, why should the shipped sales orders not be adjusted against the total demand. It ends up over recommending in form of planned recommendations.
Gross Forecast for current month = 100,000 units
Today's date = 15th
Total open sales orders as of today = 10,000
Total shipped sales orders this month (1st to 14th) = 20,000
Net Forecast as of today (without any forward or backward consumption days set)= 90,000 (I Agree)
Total Demand = 100,000 (Do not agree. It should be 100,000 - shipped sales orders)
