All, I would appreciate the Community's feedback with regards to why we are seeing the forecast (Planned Qty in RRP3) reduced.
A number of examples have been identified where the forecast quantity has been reduced by the withdrawn quantity and the Remaining Quantity reflects the Planned Quantity.
We are more used to seeing the forecast remain as per the DP forecast but Remaining Quantity reducing by the sum of allocated quantity and withdrawal quantity.
Columns represent From and To dates, Plan Qty (Forecast from DP), Withdrawals, Allocated, Remaining Plan Qty.
Row 1 is the reduced forecast which when released to SNP = 516 for the w/c 04.08.2014
| 04.08.2014 | 10.08.2014 | 342 | 174 | 0 | 342 |
| 11.08.2014 | 17.08.2014 | 26 | 0 | 0 | 26 |
| 18.08.2014 | 24.08.2014 | 1,209 | 0 | 0 | 1,209 |
| 25.08.2014 | 31.08.2014 | 184 | 0 | 0 | 184 |
| 01.09.2014 | 07.09.2014 | 561 | 0 | 0 | 561 |
| 08.09.2014 | 14.09.2014 | 1,499 | 0 | 0 | 1,499 |
| 15.09.2014 | 21.09.2014 | 956 | 0 | 0 | 956 |
We have a number of examples like this but the more conventional reduction of Remaining Planned Quanity is the norm'.
Thanks for any feedback.
