Depending on which option you choose, this screen can be used either every month or when you want to perform an initial download for the previous 42 months.  The information will be downloaded to the forecasting application.

If this screen is used each month, you must specify what information will be downloaded to the forecasting application.  You must enter the company, forecasting month, and forecasting year.  Any or all of the remaining fields may be used to further specify what data is to be downloaded.  For example, entering only a warehouse will download data only for parts at that warehouse.  If none of the optional fields are used, information for all parts at the company will be downloaded.

COMPANY

Required.  The company whose data will be downloaded.  Data for each company must be downloaded to a separate PC or to a separate directory on the same PC.  The company must be defined on the Reference File (category 002).  If a warehouse is entered, the company/warehouse combination must be defined on the Warehouse Description File.

WAREHOUSE

Optional.  If entered, only data for parts at this ware house will be downloaded.  The company/warehouse combination must exist on the Warehouse Description File.  If a part number is also entered, the warehouse/part number combination must be defined on the Warehouse Balance File.

FORECASTING MONTH/FORECASTING YEAR

Required.  Enter the period into which customer orders are currently being placed (that is, the first period for which actual demand is not known).  Demand history will be downloaded for the PREVIOUS month.

PART NUMBER

Optional.  If entered, only data for this part will be downloaded.  Must be a valid part on the Part Master File.  If a warehouse is also entered, the warehouse/part number combination must be defined on the Warehouse Balance File.

PLANNER

Optional.  If entered, only data for parts belonging to this planner will be downloaded.  The code must be defined on Reference File category 235.

INCLUDE UNPLANNED SALES ORDER LINES

Required.  This field determines whether unplanned sales order lines are to be included in the monthly or initial download.  Valid values are Y (yes) or N (no).

COMMAND KEYS

F3    - Exit program.

F4    - Display a list of values for the field where the cursor is positioned.  If you select one of the items from the list, it will be returned to the application screen.
