can we use the "Demand" instead of the "Adjusted Demand" to calculate the "system forecast"

Hi,

You are correct, Demand Planner will use the Adjusted Demand when computing the System Forecast.

By default, the Adjusted Demand is always equal to the Actual Demand.

Typically, the user will only make changes to the Adjusted Demand by exception when required (e.g., to smooth out demand spikes or make other changes to better reflect what the historical demand should have looked like).

Having said that, why is the Adjusted Demand different to Actual Demand in your example, and why can’t the values but set equal if they should not affect the system forecast? 

Thanks

 The Adjusted Demand different to Actual Demand, i feel is due to the taking of the “Qty Lost” , when this is taken i feel it adds to the “Adjusted Demand” so 

(Qty Lost+Demand = Adjusted Demand)

i assume this is the calculation? is there a setting to avoid and take only the “demand” value?
