      <Paragraph>This topic describes how a <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000466" role="glossary">VMI supplier</Link> can plan the supply for a customer based on
		the total forecast received from the customer, and replenish the customer based
		on <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000458" role="glossary">confirmed forecast</Link>.</Paragraph>
   </AimSection>
   <GeneralSection>
      <Paragraph>To build up sufficient inventory for an uninterrupted service
		and at the same time supply no more than necessary, the supplier can base its
		planning process on the total <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000456" role="glossary">forecast</Link> and base the replenishment on <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000458" role="glossary">confirmed forecast</Link>
      </Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>If the supplier uses this strategy, the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000050" role="glossary">planned orders</Link> that fill the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000459" role="glossary">unconfirmed</Link> part of the forecast are not immediately
		transferred and executed.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>For a detailed description of the difference between total
		forecast and confirmed forecast, refer to <Link href="/baanerp/cp/onlinemanual/000474" role="manual">Confirmed forecast and unconfirmed forecast</Link>.</Paragraph>
