Forecasting question regarding individual piece parts
Hi all and happy Monday,
We are currently running EBS 12.2.8 and run a nightly MDS/ASCP run. We are in the process of improving our demand time fence processes and have come across a situation. We have final assembly configured items with their own BOM which we forecast. Sometimes, though, we also put in an individual forecast for some piece parts contained within a BOM of a forecasted item.
Ex:
Level 1: Model of a configured item (forecasted)
Level 2: Piece Part A (forecasted)
Our reason for doing this is that sometimes that piece part also is used in a special product that is not forecasted and we don't want to drive demand for every component in that special product so we only forecast the piece part.
