Is there an option in DRP, whereas the ‘Target Quantity’ is calculated based on the Forecast Demand

Hi All,

I am implementing the Oracle DRP for a FMCC client in South Africa.

We have a requirement to use the DRP to calculate ‘Target Quantity' for the items based on Forecast Demand on the organization and not based on 'Unconstrained Total Demand'.

For example; consider S14, S22 & S42 as Depot organizations, whereas S20 as a Warehouse organization. The warehouse supplies the materials to all the depots.

Business has defined "Target Days of Supply" for each item in the above said Organizations.

Forecast demand for the items in these organizations derives the DRP.

Considering this, since the depot organizations have the Forecast Demand only and the ‘unconstrained total demand’ in the depots is equal to forecast demand, then the ‘Target Quantity’ calculated by the DRP is correct and the business is happy with that.
