XA Forecasting
• Forecast Code in Item Balance record determines:– Build forecast for item– Build forecast and pass to MRP or MPSP
• Codes:– 0 = No Forecast– 1 = Forecast, do not pass to planning– 2 = Forecast, pass to MPSP as requirement and MRP
as reference– 3 = Forecast, pass to MPSP and MRP as requirement

Forecast Code
![Page 5: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Forecasting
• Month End Processing will retrieve booking information from COM
• Move the periods forward by 1 period• Calculate the forecast (using experiential
roughing)• Menu option to pass forecast to MPSP– Updates Demand Interface (DMDIFF) file
![Page 6: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Forecast Master
• Forecast Master holds:– Sales vs. Forecast for past 12 periods– Forecast for next 12 periods– Seasonality Factor for fluctuating sales– Safety Stock and Reorder Point (option in Tailoring
to update Item Balance record)• System Calculated forecast can be manually
overridden, either at the ‘Annual’ level or in individual periods
![Page 7: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Forecast in SIOP
• If the Forecast is used as a requirement in the Material & Capacity Planning Applications:– Forecast needs to be an accurate representation
of sales (i.e. not a ‘wish list’)– If there is seasonality within the monthly
forecasts, the Master Schedule will need to be ‘smoothed’
– Need to verify that there is capacity to produce the forecast prior to running material planning
![Page 9: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Other Forecast Options
• 3rd party forecasting applications can ‘feed’ forecast to material planning– Futurecast– Customer provided forecasts– FD6
• MPSP – put forecast in Demand Interface file (DMDIFF)
• MRP – load forecast to Requirements (REQMTS) file
• Advanced Planner – put forecast into access table
![Page 10: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Forecast Metrics
• Forecast vs. Sales Shipments by Item/Quantity• Forecast vs. Sales Shipments by dollar• Customer Order fill rate (actual ship date vs.
manufacturing schedule due date)• Forecast vs. Master Schedule Production
![Page 11: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
PLANNING
![Page 12: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Master Schedule
• Master Schedule needs to be an accurate statement of what is to be built
• Master Schedule should be isolated to Finished Goods (level 0 of the bill of material)– If lower level items are flagged as MPSP items,
their parent items also need to be MPSP items• Master Schedule should be reviewed by
Senior Management within the company– Summarized by Product Family
![Page 13: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
MPSP
• MPS Source Code in Item Balance determines what will be treated as a requirement in MPSP:– F = Forecast only– C/E = Customer Orders only– B/D = Greater of Forecast or CO for the period
(Forecasting Tailoring determines period length weekly/monthly)
– M = no requirements, master schedule is manually entered
![Page 14: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
MPSP Sequence of Events
• Load Forecast to Demand Interface (DMDIFF)• Set Horizon dates• Generate Master Schedule• Test Master Schedule against capacity
constraints (rough cut capacity test)• Work/approve the Master Schedule• Transfer Master Schedule to MRP
![Page 15: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Resource Profiles
• Resource Master record needs to specify hours/day resource is available
• Resource ID is loaded into Production Facility– ‘Prime Load Code’ determines if resource
constraint is machine or labor time• ‘Resource Profile Build’ job will go through the
indented BOM for the MPSP item to find load in constraining facility and time offset
![Page 16: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Production Facility Record
![Page 17: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Resource Test
• Resource test will compare master schedule against ‘Resource Profile’ file
• Resource display will show weekly periods where master schedule has overloaded the constraining facility
• Use date field to determine which Master Schedules are contributing to overload
• No report is available, only inquiry
![Page 18: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
MPSP load to MRP
• When performing an MRP generation question ‘Transfer new orders from MPSP?’ answered ‘Yes’ will bring the master schedule planned orders from MPSP to MRP to generate planned orders through all levels of the bill of material
![Page 19: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Master Schedule Metrics
• MPSP MO Performance– % of MPSP orders started on time (actual start
date vs. scheduled start date)– % of MPSP orders completed on time (actual
completion date vs. due date)– Quantity completed vs. quantity orders
• MPSP order changes within ‘frozen’ zone (i.e. ‘X’ number of days from start and/or due date)
![Page 20: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Advanced Planner
• ‘Next Generation’ of material and capacity planning
• Download planning information from XA into an Access database
• Planning performed on a PC or Server, eliminating job conflicts
![Page 22: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Advanced Planner Sequence of Events
• Download data to Access• Load the plan• Review Load to Capacity for work centers (color
coding shows level of capacity problems)• Work daily plans to eliminate capacity overloads• Review Supply vs. Demand (MRP) plan• Upload plan to AS400 (updates PLNORD and
REQMTS files)• Release orders same as MRP
![Page 23: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Load to Capacity
![Page 24: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Load to Capacity
• Separate line for each facility– Red – Facility over capacity (total)– Yellow – Facility over capacity for multiple periods– Blue – Facility over capacity for one period– Green – Facility under capacity– Black – Set up time
• Can ‘drill down’ to daily load
![Page 25: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Daily Load
![Page 26: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Daily Load
• Use ‘Drop & Drag’ to move order– Will reschedule other operations and, if
‘Operation Where Used’ in BOM is completed, will reschedule material
• Other options available:– Outsource: Have vendor perform operation– Alternate Route: use different process (EPDM)– Offload: move to different facility (only released
MO’s)– Level load: let AVP move load
![Page 27: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
AVP New Functionality vs. MRP
• Customer Orders consume forecast• Unlimited number of calendars, can associate
multiple facilities to a single calendar• Uses routing times (instead of lead time) to
calculate MO start date• Schedules load for each operation based on
operation start/due date; can plan to the minute• Uses Maximum Order Quantity to limit order size• Planned Orders due the day before the
requirement
![Page 28: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Supply/Demand for Item
![Page 29: Sales & Inventory Operation Planning (SIOP) XA tools to assist with Forecasting, Material Planning & Cash Flow Analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cb95503460f94980fe7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Save Plan
• Uploads AVP plan to the AS400:– Saves Planned Orders in the PLNORD file– Saves requirements to the REQMTS file
• Use MRP recommendations (PowerLink) or MRP Order Release and Review to create MO’s and PO’s
• Same metrics as MPSP/MRP apply
