Documentation
Definition
Indicator informing the Commodity Pricing Engine (CPE) whether or not a quotation forecast is provided in the current use case.
Use
You use this parameter if you want to deviate from the standard system behavior as follows:
- In the standard setup, the system does not offer the quotation forecast to the user for the following document categories:
Doc. Category Description
007 Credit Memo Request (Sales)
008 Debit Memo Request (Sales)
009 Invoice (Sales)
010 Invoice Cancellation (Sales)
013 Credit Memo (Sale)
014 Debit Memo (Sales)
015 Credit Memo Cancellation (Sales)
031 Invoice (Purchasing)
- For all other document categories, the system offers the quotation forecast to the user.
You can select the following fixed values for the forecast mode:
Fixed Value Description
Blank CPE Determines Forecast Mode Automatically
X Forecast
- No Forecast
Dependencies
To be able to use the quotation forecast, you must first make sure that a quotation forecast routine has been entered within a commodity pricing term. Irrespective of the forecast mode, this routine is executed for all quotations whose quotation dates lie in the future. The system transfers the forecast mode to the quotation forecast routine.
The quotation forecast routine itself is responsible for deciding whether or not it returns forecast values. For example, if you want the system to offer a quotation forecast for a market value calculation irrespective of the use case, you must select a corresponding quotation forecast routine.
Example
If you want to have a quotation forecast in an invoice (Sales and Distribution) belonging to document category 009, you need to set the forecast mode to 'X' (Forecast). In contrast, if you do not want to have a quotation forecast in a sales order of document category 003, you need to set the parameter to '-' (No Forecast).
