Forecast Pooling Parameters Page (Fields)
The following describes the fields that could appear on the page depending on how it is configured.
Field
Description
Candidate Locations for Pooling
Indicates the locations that will be considered as candidates for pooling.
Options include:
All Segment Locations
Only Non-ASL Locations
Only ASL Locations
Comments
Comments or notes about the pooling parameter scheme.
Description
The description of the pooling scheme.
Maximum Slice forecast
The maximum forecast to include a SKU in pooling. Any SKU that has a value equal to or under the maximum will be pooled; over the maximum will not be pooled.
This allows you to exclude relatively high demand pairs from being pooled.
Name
The name of the pooling scheme.
Operator (1-5)
Parameter (1-5)
Value (1-5)
These settings can be used to dynamically identify the pooling location for the pairs associated with this parameter.
The first row (set of criteria) whose conditions (annual forecast, current slice forecast, or on-hand inventory) are met by a governed location will cause that location to be set as the pooling location for the pairs governed.
For example,
Annual Forecast > 50
means that the location with the largest Annual Forecast, as long as it exceeds 50, will be the assigned pooling location for all parts associated with this parameter scheme.
Pool Transport Mode
The transportation mode selected for the pooling scheme.
Primary Location
The location where the pooling demand is handled if not overridden by any of the other pooling parameter settings on this page. This means that if no other conditions are specified, this field determines the pooling location assigned to the pairs associated with this parameter.
Priority Sequence
Indicates the sequence priority of the pooling parameter scheme.
