| # Generate Planned Supply based on Forecast (cpvmi1211m000) Use this session to carry out an order-planning based on the forecast received from your customer. This session functions almost exactly like the Generate Order Planning session. Instead of regular demand data, this session uses the forecast you received from your customer. The session plans only the plan items for which the VMI Role field in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session is Supplier. To base the planned supply only on the confirmed part of the forecast, set the Confirmed Supply Based On field in the Planning Terms and Conditions (tctrm1135m000) session to Confirmed Forecast.

The production, distribution, or purchase of these items is planned in Enterprise Planning based on the forecast or the actual demand. You can plan these items by means of the following: Master-based planning, which is similar to master production scheduling techniques. Order-based planning, which is similar to material-requirements planning techniques. A combination of master-based planning and order-based planning. Plan items can be one of the following: An actual manufactured or purchased item. A product family. A basic model, that is, a defined product variant of a generic item.
