How to forecast components?
Hi All
We have a business requirement to be able to forecast components (and component sub-assembles) that will be eventually be used in an end assembly but not sold on a sales order.
The detailed requirement is as follows:
1. We make highly configured to order machines - more like design to order / one off type machines. As such there is no way to have a forecast for these items as we have no BOM or idea on what will be required/made in the future.
2. The machines are generally 80% the same but vary in key components, but we want the ability to forecast the 80% common parts as we know that these will be required
