Hi,

One of our customer wants to upload a consolidated forecast into IFS so it can be expanded out to show the growth in raw material and component demand and allow the Purchasing Team to see the longer term requirements for several years.

This is very top level rather than at customer level by which they normally enter forecasts.

Ex:

My question is can we upload this forecast into MS Level 1 and derive raw material/component demand for coming periods, with/without generating supplies (PRs, Shop Order Reqs etc?

Also, would that be possible to register this forecast and calculate the demand for raw materials separate from the actual forecast register for this year using a different MS level set? 

I appreciate any feedback you can share.

Thank you
