Documentation

Definition

This indicator controls how the forecast requirements are to be reduced.

The reduction of the forecast requirements can be carried out in three ways:

  • Reduction of forecast requirements by consumption

    If consumption exceeds the forecast requirements of the current month, the system will also reduce future forecast requirements

  • Reduction of forecast requirements exclusively in current month

    If consumption exceeds the forecast requirements of the current month, the system will only reduce the forecast requirements in the current month.

  • Average reduction of the forecast requirements

    In this case, the reduction of the forecast requirements is based on average daily requirements. Actual consumption is not relevant for this particular setting.

    Here, the system first calculates the average daily requirements:

    Forecast requirements/number of workdays of the forecast period

    The forecast requirement is then reduced by the amount resulting from the following formula:

    Number of workdays x average daily requirements
