I am trying to understand exactly what requirements are reducing my Forecast in MD04. We are using VSFB and have consumption Mode 2 (Backwards / Forwards), Mixed MRP = 1, consumption indicator 3 (Consume customer reqmts, reserv., dependent reqmts), and consumption indicator 1 (Consume planning with assembly). We have set Bwd consumption period 20 days, and Fwd consumption period 10 days, but when adjusting these settings and refresh the MD04 screen I cannot see exactly what is included / excluded from the reduction. Please see the screenshots for more detail. If anyone can explain exactly what, and how
these numbers are being reduced it would be a great help. I have some offline data that mimics the MD04 screen data, and I need to understand how to reduce the forecast in this data to match the corresponding VSFB lines in MD04.
The VSFB requirements are a weekly forecast split into weekly buckets.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - If you require any more information just let me know. Thanks
