The Activity Forecast feature allows you to simulate demand by configuring various types of tasks.
You can create forecasts based on either:
-
Real activities and operations already present in the system.
-
Simulated activities
A significant advantage of using activity forecasts is their complete independence from actual activities and work-orders data. This means any adjustments or edits made within the forecast simulation will not impact the live operational data in your system.
An activity forecast’s status can be:
-
Draft
-
Fixed
-
Cancelled
Just created the status is “Draft”, after it’s possibile to cancel the forecast and the status becomes “Cancelled”, or it’s possibile to confirm it and the status becomes “Fixed”. Even if the status is Fixed, it’s possibile to delete the forecast and the status becomes “Cancelled”.
Only if the status is “Fixed” the forecast can be used in a Capacity Planning scenario.
