Hi,
We are having a debate in my organisation: which forecast gets passed from APO DP to supply planning for DRP (done in Manugistics): constrained or unconstrained. The issue is that constraints are often long-term and once agreed in S&OP, there is little need to discuss them again and rebalance demand / supply on a monthly basis. The idea is that demand planners would just apply constraints going forward during forecasting process. While logically makes sense, doesn't feel right that the step is executed by demand planners. Any views on best practice in a long-term constraint environment?
Thank you!
