Production/Sales Forecast For Purchased Items

Business Central/NAV User Forum

I didn’t realise though that the production forecast is not used for ‘Purchase’ replenishment items (though I guess it makes sense). This is an issue for me - has anybody else implemented a way of using the forecast for purchased items, or done some similar bespoke? I want the ‘Calculate Plan’ to use this for ‘Purchase’ items in the Requisition Worksheet.

Just let me know the item settings and the issue.

If I have an item with a fixed reorder policy and none in stock and none required, but if I set a production forecast for 10 for the end of this month it will tell me to buy 10 for the end of this month. The forecast is of a sales type item against the forecast being used in the planning worksheet.
