Forecast Consumption Request - Purpose
RP320E
The Forecast Consumption Request program (RP320E) is used to enter requests for running the batch Forecast Consumption program (RP130E) for a plant or a specific part in either actual or simulated mode. If no specific part number is requested (the Part Number field is left blank), then all parts in the given plant that are active and that do not have a part type of planning (4), reference (5), non-standard (7), non-stocked (C), or bundled/kitted (K), and are not standard master scheduled (demand code =M) are written to RP320AP, one request record for each part.\
