Module Objective

The Sales Forecast Focus Item module is a tool to set up and manage which products are considered "focus items" in the sales forecasting process. This setup allows the company to give special attention to the planning of key products, including linking them to raw material requirements.

Tips & Important Notes

  • This module is used to highlight key products that require special attention in the planning process.

  • By marking an item as a 'focus' and linking it to raw materials via the RM Focus feature, the PPIC (Production Planning and Inventory Control) team can be more proactive in planning material requirements based on the forecast for that finished good.

  • This is an important master data setup and is typically managed by the Sales Admin or PPIC team.
