Supplier Forecast

This page provides visibility of Supplier forecast expected beyond the regular planning timeline based on the demand set up in the system and the Supply Parameters (Safety stock, MOQ, EOQ, lead times). Forecasted Purchase Orders are also known as planned POs or Soft POs, because they are not created yet in the system, but are expected to become Purchase Orders in future, when the lead time (also known as firm order period) is reached.

When you click the Expand / Collapse arrow for a specific Supplier warehouse combination, it will display: Items Supplied, Open POs and Document Requests.

Items supplied

This section contains all the items with an existing Item - Supplier link. It displays parameters relevant to the calculation of the forecasted orders. Please note lead time refers to the firm order period, it does not reflect the full manufacturing and transit lead time. If you identify any inaccuracies in the information displayed in this section, please inform the Material Controller / Planner to update accordingly.

Open POs

This section contains all the Purchase orders lines for the warehouse supplier combination with outstanding quantity to be delivered. These POs will therefore impact on the calculation of forecasted / planned purchase orders. Please ensure all POs in status "Awaiting supplier Commitment" are validated as per instructions in [[PurchaseInvoice_AwaitingCommitment|For more details regarding Awaiting Supplier Commitment click this link

Document Requests

From this section you will be able to download previous supplier forecast. You can add comments against a specific document that will be visible to the Material Controller.
