Hi All,

I know that the system will create demand based on historical data, but how far back will that go?

If I have a client that has been using Acumatica for a year and they turn on replenishment now, do we turn on the moving average and update to 12 months and it will calculate the last year of transactions?

Thanks!

Hi Kandy! I was just looking into this yesterday.  You can configure this at the Item Class level or the Stock Item level.  Item Class level will default all stock items in the same class to the same demand forecast parameters but they can be overridden at the stock item level for specific stock items.

Hi @josborn02 

Did you happen to test with historical data?


HI @josborn02 

I tested in my local version with the legos and turned on Moving Average. Once I did that and went to Calculate Replenishment Parameters, it brought in new safety stock, Max qty and such. So, as long as the data is there for orders and such, it works as expected. 

 


Yes, it only works with Sales/Production/Transfer order demand.  It doesn’t consider inventory adjustments of physical inventory related transactions “usage”.
