Stock Forecast and Locations Quantity report

[Artem Braga]

Hello. 

I have the following case and question. 

There is a Product A at a Warehouse Storage location as of today in the amount of 10 units. A Forecast is created for the Product A with the following parameters: 

- From Warehouse to Customer Location 

- Dates: from 10th till 20 th of the current month 

- Quantity - 10 units 

- Minimum quantity - 1 unit

- There are no Sales and Purchase shipments for Product A starting from the current date in the future.

Considering the documentation for the stock_forecast module, I'd like to ask the following: 

1. Is it possible to see the stock moves created by the Forecast? I could not find them in the Customer Moves list

2. When checking the Locations Quantity report for ProductA for the period from 10th till 20th or infinite date, there is no change in Forecast Quantity column for Product A. What can be the reason for that? Should Forecast Quantity for Product A be adjusted for the demand of 10 units forecasted? 

thank you 

best regards

Artem

No, it is forecast so they are not created.

The quantity forecast is the quantity computed by the created moves in
advance, not by the forecast.
It will be useless to have them because the number will be exactly the
value of the forecast by design.

No, it is forecast so they are not created.

In the Stock Forecast description module it is written that "The stock forecast module provide a simple way to create stock moves toward customers with a date in the future."  So, if stock forecast does not create any moves, how does it influence on the forecasted quantity of the product?

The quantity forecast is the quantity computed by the created moves in
advance, not by the forecast.

Do you mean stock moves create by Sale and Purchase documents?

Any moves planned in the future.
