Demand Plan forecast
Forecast Sales in Demand Planning
We are using Opportunity records to forecast sales in demand planning/supply planning. We have a date on the opportunity, an expected close date, and an expected ship date by item on the opportunity record. When generating the supply plan it does not appear to use any of those dates for the supply plan to estimate when to order the goods. With dates of 7/21/20 for the created date, 9/10/20 for the expected close date, and 9/11/20 for the expected ship date it gave a supply plan order date of 9/1.
It appears that since the expected ship date is in September that it is suggesting to have the goods on hand by 9/1 with a 14 day lead time for delivery. Why would it not be close to 9/10?
