Important Changes
Gaming 1st launch demand collectionCollect 1st launch demand from plan ahead to reduce the error of excel files
and effort of sales and BU
EOP rule changeFix last buy quantity of 12 weeks for NBNXPTPFNRPD product lines
Fix last buy quantity of 12 weeks from this week
Process SimplificationAdd SKUs to plan ahead system immediately after generating SKUs in
preconfig system
Process SimplificationReplace customer dimension with business type dimension
in plan ahead system
AS-IS
TO-BE
Process SimplificationCancel the mechanism of checking the MSRP of SKUs
before putting forecast
Since it is allowed to add SKUs from preconfig system even if there is no MSRP for the SKU you can still put forecast in plan ahead system
Cancel Downsize RuleYou are be able to downsize forecast yourself from ETD WK + 5 without opening baseline
Improvement of constraint tableNarrow the gap to communicate with BU FPM to get AATP more easily
A Add 3 columns to let planners and FPM know more about the status of forecast Original Qty the quantity you submitted successfully last time Constraints Max The max value of forecast you are allowed to put in this week Upsize Qty Use ETD Qty ndash Original Qty to know how many quantity you have upsized
B If you find the Success DateOriginal Qty is blank that means you have not submitted forecast for this skuweek successfully before
CAP mechanismUse CAP to check if your forecast stick with your annual plan
A We will use your 2H annual plan and upsize percentage to be the CAP of your forecast there will be CAP and upsize percentage for each month and plan ahead will sum your forecast by ETD month to compare with the CAP with upsize percentage
B Since the forecast of August is almost unchangeable we will check your forecast from ETD September
C If the forecast violates the CAP you will find the information as below in constraint table page please downsize your forecast to follow your CAP or contact your MDMPlanner to discuss if you need to change the CAP
Add GOC Monthly Constraint Overview worksheet to CPM FCST Report
Help you get the information of your CAP and FCST
A We will list your CAP and FCST based on GOC in CPM FCST Reporthowever the quantity in CPM FCST Report might be different from the quantity listed on constraint table page because the forecast without successful submit records is not included here
Add GOC Monthly Constraint Overview worksheet to CPM FCST Report
Help you get the information of your CAP and FCST
B Letrsquos take Greece for an exampleB The forecast in CPM FCST REPORT is 40408C The forecast in constraint table page is 40608 there is a gap of 200 between themD The sum of forecast without successfully records is 200
Add product life cycle column Let you exclude forecast not in product life cycle(Not TTVEOP)

A Find the Model Base Unit Part No Select All on UpsizeDownsize Rule Status column of 9N ETD View page Enter Modelbase unit or Part no to search(partial words is ok) Click Query button
Shift FCST
B Select the week with buffer AATP The page will display Buffer AATP synced with system daily Select the week you want to shift and click it The system will only display buffer AATP that meets the following criteria
You have submitted forecast successfully before With buffer AATP
If there is no data meet the criteria mentioned above the system will not display any buffer AATP on the week
Shift FCST
C Shift FCST After clicking buffer AATP the system will pop-up a window Select Carry to week Fill in the quantity you want to carry Click Shift button
Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST
F If the quantity you fill in does not violate any rules the system will display success message after clicking shift button
Shift FCST
G The Result will be displayed on the ETD view page It will become AATP released next Thursday After clicking OK button the page will return to 9N ETD view you will find the FCST
has been shifted to the week you select Click Shift log to check the records of Shift Forecast of this 9N

Process SimplificationAdd SKUs to plan ahead system immediately after generating SKUs in
preconfig system
Process SimplificationReplace customer dimension with business type dimension
in plan ahead system
AS-IS
TO-BE
Process SimplificationCancel the mechanism of checking the MSRP of SKUs
before putting forecast
Since it is allowed to add SKUs from preconfig system even if there is no MSRP for the SKU you can still put forecast in plan ahead system
Cancel Downsize RuleYou are be able to downsize forecast yourself from ETD WK + 5 without opening baseline
Improvement of constraint tableNarrow the gap to communicate with BU FPM to get AATP more easily
A Add 3 columns to let planners and FPM know more about the status of forecast Original Qty the quantity you submitted successfully last time Constraints Max The max value of forecast you are allowed to put in this week Upsize Qty Use ETD Qty ndash Original Qty to know how many quantity you have upsized
B If you find the Success DateOriginal Qty is blank that means you have not submitted forecast for this skuweek successfully before
CAP mechanismUse CAP to check if your forecast stick with your annual plan
A We will use your 2H annual plan and upsize percentage to be the CAP of your forecast there will be CAP and upsize percentage for each month and plan ahead will sum your forecast by ETD month to compare with the CAP with upsize percentage
B Since the forecast of August is almost unchangeable we will check your forecast from ETD September
C If the forecast violates the CAP you will find the information as below in constraint table page please downsize your forecast to follow your CAP or contact your MDMPlanner to discuss if you need to change the CAP
Add GOC Monthly Constraint Overview worksheet to CPM FCST Report
Help you get the information of your CAP and FCST
A We will list your CAP and FCST based on GOC in CPM FCST Reporthowever the quantity in CPM FCST Report might be different from the quantity listed on constraint table page because the forecast without successful submit records is not included here
Add GOC Monthly Constraint Overview worksheet to CPM FCST Report

B Letrsquos take Greece for an exampleB The forecast in CPM FCST REPORT is 40408C The forecast in constraint table page is 40608 there is a gap of 200 between themD The sum of forecast without successfully records is 200

C Shift FCST After clicking buffer AATP the system will pop-up a window Select Carry to week Fill in the quantity you want to carry Click Shift button
Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST
F If the quantity you fill in does not violate any rules the system will display success message after clicking shift button

Process SimplificationCancel the mechanism of checking the MSRP of SKUs
before putting forecast
Since it is allowed to add SKUs from preconfig system even if there is no MSRP for the SKU you can still put forecast in plan ahead system
Cancel Downsize RuleYou are be able to downsize forecast yourself from ETD WK + 5 without opening baseline
Improvement of constraint tableNarrow the gap to communicate with BU FPM to get AATP more easily
A Add 3 columns to let planners and FPM know more about the status of forecast Original Qty the quantity you submitted successfully last time Constraints Max The max value of forecast you are allowed to put in this week Upsize Qty Use ETD Qty ndash Original Qty to know how many quantity you have upsized
B If you find the Success DateOriginal Qty is blank that means you have not submitted forecast for this skuweek successfully before
CAP mechanismUse CAP to check if your forecast stick with your annual plan
A We will use your 2H annual plan and upsize percentage to be the CAP of your forecast there will be CAP and upsize percentage for each month and plan ahead will sum your forecast by ETD month to compare with the CAP with upsize percentage
B Since the forecast of August is almost unchangeable we will check your forecast from ETD September
C If the forecast violates the CAP you will find the information as below in constraint table page please downsize your forecast to follow your CAP or contact your MDMPlanner to discuss if you need to change the CAP
Add GOC Monthly Constraint Overview worksheet to CPM FCST Report
Help you get the information of your CAP and FCST
A We will list your CAP and FCST based on GOC in CPM FCST Reporthowever the quantity in CPM FCST Report might be different from the quantity listed on constraint table page because the forecast without successful submit records is not included here

Shift FCST
B Select the week with buffer AATP The page will display Buffer AATP synced with system daily Select the week you want to shift and click it The system will only display buffer AATP that meets the following criteria

If there is no data meet the criteria mentioned above the system will not display any buffer AATP on the week
Shift FCST
C Shift FCST After clicking buffer AATP the system will pop-up a window Select Carry to week Fill in the quantity you want to carry Click Shift button
Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST
F If the quantity you fill in does not violate any rules the system will display success message after clicking shift button
Shift FCST
G The Result will be displayed on the ETD view page It will become AATP released next Thursday After clicking OK button the page will return to 9N ETD view you will find the FCST
has been shifted to the week you select Click Shift log to check the records of Shift Forecast of this 9N

Process SimplificationCancel the mechanism of checking the MSRP of SKUs
before putting forecast
Since it is allowed to add SKUs from preconfig system even if there is no MSRP for the SKU you can still put forecast in plan ahead system
Cancel Downsize RuleYou are be able to downsize forecast yourself from ETD WK + 5 without opening baseline
Improvement of constraint tableNarrow the gap to communicate with BU FPM to get AATP more easily
A Add 3 columns to let planners and FPM know more about the status of forecast Original Qty the quantity you submitted successfully last time Constraints Max The max value of forecast you are allowed to put in this week Upsize Qty Use ETD Qty ndash Original Qty to know how many quantity you have upsized
B If you find the Success DateOriginal Qty is blank that means you have not submitted forecast for this skuweek successfully before
CAP mechanismUse CAP to check if your forecast stick with your annual plan
A We will use your 2H annual plan and upsize percentage to be the CAP of your forecast there will be CAP and upsize percentage for each month and plan ahead will sum your forecast by ETD month to compare with the CAP with upsize percentage
B Since the forecast of August is almost unchangeable we will check your forecast from ETD September
C If the forecast violates the CAP you will find the information as below in constraint table page please downsize your forecast to follow your CAP or contact your MDMPlanner to discuss if you need to change the CAP
Add GOC Monthly Constraint Overview worksheet to CPM FCST Report
Help you get the information of your CAP and FCST
A We will list your CAP and FCST based on GOC in CPM FCST Reporthowever the quantity in CPM FCST Report might be different from the quantity listed on constraint table page because the forecast without successful submit records is not included here

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP

Process SimplificationCancel the mechanism of checking the MSRP of SKUs
before putting forecast
Since it is allowed to add SKUs from preconfig system even if there is no MSRP for the SKU you can still put forecast in plan ahead system
Cancel Downsize RuleYou are be able to downsize forecast yourself from ETD WK + 5 without opening baseline
Improvement of constraint tableNarrow the gap to communicate with BU FPM to get AATP more easily
A Add 3 columns to let planners and FPM know more about the status of forecast Original Qty the quantity you submitted successfully last time Constraints Max The max value of forecast you are allowed to put in this week Upsize Qty Use ETD Qty ndash Original Qty to know how many quantity you have upsized
B If you find the Success DateOriginal Qty is blank that means you have not submitted forecast for this skuweek successfully before
CAP mechanismUse CAP to check if your forecast stick with your annual plan
A We will use your 2H annual plan and upsize percentage to be the CAP of your forecast there will be CAP and upsize percentage for each month and plan ahead will sum your forecast by ETD month to compare with the CAP with upsize percentage
B Since the forecast of August is almost unchangeable we will check your forecast from ETD September
C If the forecast violates the CAP you will find the information as below in constraint table page please downsize your forecast to follow your CAP or contact your MDMPlanner to discuss if you need to change the CAP

Shift FCST
B Select the week with buffer AATP The page will display Buffer AATP synced with system daily Select the week you want to shift and click it The system will only display buffer AATP that meets the following criteria

If there is no data meet the criteria mentioned above the system will not display any buffer AATP on the week
Shift FCST
C Shift FCST After clicking buffer AATP the system will pop-up a window Select Carry to week Fill in the quantity you want to carry Click Shift button
Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST
F If the quantity you fill in does not violate any rules the system will display success message after clicking shift button
Shift FCST
G The Result will be displayed on the ETD view page It will become AATP released next Thursday After clicking OK button the page will return to 9N ETD view you will find the FCST
has been shifted to the week you select Click Shift log to check the records of Shift Forecast of this 9N

Process SimplificationCancel the mechanism of checking the MSRP of SKUs
before putting forecast
Since it is allowed to add SKUs from preconfig system even if there is no MSRP for the SKU you can still put forecast in plan ahead system
Cancel Downsize RuleYou are be able to downsize forecast yourself from ETD WK + 5 without opening baseline
Improvement of constraint tableNarrow the gap to communicate with BU FPM to get AATP more easily
A Add 3 columns to let planners and FPM know more about the status of forecast Original Qty the quantity you submitted successfully last time Constraints Max The max value of forecast you are allowed to put in this week Upsize Qty Use ETD Qty ndash Original Qty to know how many quantity you have upsized
B If you find the Success DateOriginal Qty is blank that means you have not submitted forecast for this skuweek successfully before
CAP mechanismUse CAP to check if your forecast stick with your annual plan
A We will use your 2H annual plan and upsize percentage to be the CAP of your forecast there will be CAP and upsize percentage for each month and plan ahead will sum your forecast by ETD month to compare with the CAP with upsize percentage
B Since the forecast of August is almost unchangeable we will check your forecast from ETD September
C If the forecast violates the CAP you will find the information as below in constraint table page please downsize your forecast to follow your CAP or contact your MDMPlanner to discuss if you need to change the CAP

B Select the week with buffer AATP The page will display Buffer AATP synced with system daily Select the week you want to shift and click it The system will only display buffer AATP that meets the following criteria

If there is no data meet the criteria mentioned above the system will not display any buffer AATP on the week
Shift FCST
C Shift FCST After clicking buffer AATP the system will pop-up a window Select Carry to week Fill in the quantity you want to carry Click Shift button
Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST
F If the quantity you fill in does not violate any rules the system will display success message after clicking shift button

Process SimplificationCancel the mechanism of checking the MSRP of SKUs
before putting forecast
Since it is allowed to add SKUs from preconfig system even if there is no MSRP for the SKU you can still put forecast in plan ahead system
Cancel Downsize RuleYou are be able to downsize forecast yourself from ETD WK + 5 without opening baseline
Improvement of constraint tableNarrow the gap to communicate with BU FPM to get AATP more easily
A Add 3 columns to let planners and FPM know more about the status of forecast Original Qty the quantity you submitted successfully last time Constraints Max The max value of forecast you are allowed to put in this week Upsize Qty Use ETD Qty ndash Original Qty to know how many quantity you have upsized
B If you find the Success DateOriginal Qty is blank that means you have not submitted forecast for this skuweek successfully before
CAP mechanismUse CAP to check if your forecast stick with your annual plan
A We will use your 2H annual plan and upsize percentage to be the CAP of your forecast there will be CAP and upsize percentage for each month and plan ahead will sum your forecast by ETD month to compare with the CAP with upsize percentage
B Since the forecast of August is almost unchangeable we will check your forecast from ETD September
C If the forecast violates the CAP you will find the information as below in constraint table page please downsize your forecast to follow your CAP or contact your MDMPlanner to discuss if you need to change the CAP

If there is no data meet the criteria mentioned above the system will not display any buffer AATP on the week
Shift FCST
C Shift FCST After clicking buffer AATP the system will pop-up a window Select Carry to week Fill in the quantity you want to carry Click Shift button
Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST
F If the quantity you fill in does not violate any rules the system will display success message after clicking shift button

TO-BE
Process SimplificationCancel the mechanism of checking the MSRP of SKUs
before putting forecast
Since it is allowed to add SKUs from preconfig system even if there is no MSRP for the SKU you can still put forecast in plan ahead system
Cancel Downsize RuleYou are be able to downsize forecast yourself from ETD WK + 5 without opening baseline
Improvement of constraint tableNarrow the gap to communicate with BU FPM to get AATP more easily
A Add 3 columns to let planners and FPM know more about the status of forecast Original Qty the quantity you submitted successfully last time Constraints Max The max value of forecast you are allowed to put in this week Upsize Qty Use ETD Qty ndash Original Qty to know how many quantity you have upsized
B If you find the Success DateOriginal Qty is blank that means you have not submitted forecast for this skuweek successfully before
CAP mechanismUse CAP to check if your forecast stick with your annual plan
A We will use your 2H annual plan and upsize percentage to be the CAP of your forecast there will be CAP and upsize percentage for each month and plan ahead will sum your forecast by ETD month to compare with the CAP with upsize percentage
B Since the forecast of August is almost unchangeable we will check your forecast from ETD September
C If the forecast violates the CAP you will find the information as below in constraint table page please downsize your forecast to follow your CAP or contact your MDMPlanner to discuss if you need to change the CAP

If there is no data meet the criteria mentioned above the system will not display any buffer AATP on the week
Shift FCST
C Shift FCST After clicking buffer AATP the system will pop-up a window Select Carry to week Fill in the quantity you want to carry Click Shift button
Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST
F If the quantity you fill in does not violate any rules the system will display success message after clicking shift button

Process SimplificationCancel the mechanism of checking the MSRP of SKUs
before putting forecast
Since it is allowed to add SKUs from preconfig system even if there is no MSRP for the SKU you can still put forecast in plan ahead system
Cancel Downsize RuleYou are be able to downsize forecast yourself from ETD WK + 5 without opening baseline
Improvement of constraint tableNarrow the gap to communicate with BU FPM to get AATP more easily
A Add 3 columns to let planners and FPM know more about the status of forecast Original Qty the quantity you submitted successfully last time Constraints Max The max value of forecast you are allowed to put in this week Upsize Qty Use ETD Qty ndash Original Qty to know how many quantity you have upsized
B If you find the Success DateOriginal Qty is blank that means you have not submitted forecast for this skuweek successfully before
CAP mechanismUse CAP to check if your forecast stick with your annual plan
A We will use your 2H annual plan and upsize percentage to be the CAP of your forecast there will be CAP and upsize percentage for each month and plan ahead will sum your forecast by ETD month to compare with the CAP with upsize percentage
B Since the forecast of August is almost unchangeable we will check your forecast from ETD September
C If the forecast violates the CAP you will find the information as below in constraint table page please downsize your forecast to follow your CAP or contact your MDMPlanner to discuss if you need to change the CAP
Add GOC Monthly Constraint Overview worksheet to CPM FCST Report
Help you get the information of your CAP and FCST
A We will list your CAP and FCST based on GOC in CPM FCST Reporthowever the quantity in CPM FCST Report might be different from the quantity listed on constraint table page because the forecast without successful submit records is not included here
Add GOC Monthly Constraint Overview worksheet to CPM FCST Report

B Letrsquos take Greece for an exampleB The forecast in CPM FCST REPORT is 40408C The forecast in constraint table page is 40608 there is a gap of 200 between themD The sum of forecast without successfully records is 200

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST
F If the quantity you fill in does not violate any rules the system will display success message after clicking shift button

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST
F If the quantity you fill in does not violate any rules the system will display success message after clicking shift button

Improvement of constraint tableNarrow the gap to communicate with BU FPM to get AATP more easily
A Add 3 columns to let planners and FPM know more about the status of forecast Original Qty the quantity you submitted successfully last time Constraints Max The max value of forecast you are allowed to put in this week Upsize Qty Use ETD Qty ndash Original Qty to know how many quantity you have upsized
B If you find the Success DateOriginal Qty is blank that means you have not submitted forecast for this skuweek successfully before
CAP mechanismUse CAP to check if your forecast stick with your annual plan
A We will use your 2H annual plan and upsize percentage to be the CAP of your forecast there will be CAP and upsize percentage for each month and plan ahead will sum your forecast by ETD month to compare with the CAP with upsize percentage
B Since the forecast of August is almost unchangeable we will check your forecast from ETD September
C If the forecast violates the CAP you will find the information as below in constraint table page please downsize your forecast to follow your CAP or contact your MDMPlanner to discuss if you need to change the CAP
Add GOC Monthly Constraint Overview worksheet to CPM FCST Report
Help you get the information of your CAP and FCST
A We will list your CAP and FCST based on GOC in CPM FCST Reporthowever the quantity in CPM FCST Report might be different from the quantity listed on constraint table page because the forecast without successful submit records is not included here

If there is no data meet the criteria mentioned above the system will not display any buffer AATP on the week
Shift FCST
C Shift FCST After clicking buffer AATP the system will pop-up a window Select Carry to week Fill in the quantity you want to carry Click Shift button
Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST
F If the quantity you fill in does not violate any rules the system will display success message after clicking shift button

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST
F If the quantity you fill in does not violate any rules the system will display success message after clicking shift button

If there is no data meet the criteria mentioned above the system will not display any buffer AATP on the week
Shift FCST
C Shift FCST After clicking buffer AATP the system will pop-up a window Select Carry to week Fill in the quantity you want to carry Click Shift button
Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST
F If the quantity you fill in does not violate any rules the system will display success message after clicking shift button
Shift FCST
G The Result will be displayed on the ETD view page It will become AATP released next Thursday After clicking OK button the page will return to 9N ETD view you will find the FCST

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST
F If the quantity you fill in does not violate any rules the system will display success message after clicking shift button

Shift FCST
C Shift FCST After clicking buffer AATP the system will pop-up a window Select Carry to week Fill in the quantity you want to carry Click Shift button
Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST
F If the quantity you fill in does not violate any rules the system will display success message after clicking shift button
Shift FCST
G The Result will be displayed on the ETD view page It will become AATP released next Thursday After clicking OK button the page will return to 9N ETD view you will find the FCST

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST
F If the quantity you fill in does not violate any rules the system will display success message after clicking shift button
Shift FCST
G The Result will be displayed on the ETD view page It will become AATP released next Thursday After clicking OK button the page will return to 9N ETD view you will find the FCST

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST
F If the quantity you fill in does not violate any rules the system will display success message after clicking shift button

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST
F If the quantity you fill in does not violate any rules the system will display success message after clicking shift button

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST
F If the quantity you fill in does not violate any rules the system will display success message after clicking shift button

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view

All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view

All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST
F If the quantity you fill in does not violate any rules the system will display success message after clicking shift button

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP

All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP

All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view

All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
Shift FCST

Shift FCSTD Why buffer AATP on shift FCST page is different from buffer AATP on ETD view
After entering the Shift FCST page the system will sync the real time buffer AATP again so the buffer AATP will probably be different from what you see on ETD view page
All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP

All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP

All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP

All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP

All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP

All changes you made to buffer AATP will be effective next Thursday if you shift FCST from Monday until the day of releasing AATP this week these changes are made to the buffer AATP releasing this Thursday So the system will deduct the quantity you shifted from this Monday until the day of releasing AATP
Shift FCSTE If the quantity you fill in violates the rules listed below the system will display error
message The quantity should be more than the forecast of 90 SKU The quantity should be more than last submitted successfully quantity of 90 SKU The sum of quantities should not be more than the quantity of buffer AATP
