In the ‘Rows’ section, you will find 10 options that will be displayed on the screen when selected.

Now add a product:

Click on the ‘Add a Product’ button, and add product details as per your requirements.

Safety Stock Target: The quantity of stock that should be on hand as a safety stock at the conclusion of the term.

Minimum to Replenish: This field refers to the minimum number of stocks to replenish.

Maximum to Replenish: The maximum quantity of stock that can be replenished.

Once you enter all the required values, click on the ‘Save’ button. You will find your product to be listed in the table given below:

Forecasted Demand is the stock’s projected demand for the current month. This value must be manually inputted.

The quantity to be replaced via purchase order or manufacture order is known as the Suggested Replenishment.

Next, Forecasted Stock is the amount of merchandise that we expect to have in stock at the end of each month. This anticipated stock will be the beginning stock for the following period or month.

• Forecasting Production Scheduler in Odoo MPS

Forecasting is an important step in the footwear industry. The Footwear Manufacturing ERP allows users to predict the actual demand based on the estimated demand for the product.

The production amount to refill for different times will be determined after the forecasted demand has been estimated and specified.

The replenishments that should be launched based on the vendor lead time or production lead time are then highlighted in green.

MPS in the Manufacturing industry allows a company to invest its resources in what is necessary.

You may now start the restocking (replenishing) process by clicking the ‘Replenish’ button.

→ Note: Requests for quotations or production orders will be generated depending on the product configuration (purchase vs. manufacture).

• Managing Production Schedule in Odoo MPS

Odoo ERP for the footwear industry is beneficial in many ways. It can help predict stock, and allow business owners to take further steps accordingly.

In order to calculate the forecast stock, MPS ERP plays an important role. Forecasted Stock is the amount of merchandise that we expect to have in stock at the month’s end. This forecasted stock will now be the launching stock for the following period or month.

The formula to calculate Forecast Stock is:

Forecast Stock=Starting Inventory-Forecast Demand-Indirect Demand Forecast+Suggested Replenishment

The Safety stock Target, Minimum to Replenish, and Maximum to Replenish quantities can be modified using the given button marked with a red arrow:

Once done, apply the above formula to find the forecasted stock.

Here it is,

Forecast stock=(4-55-0+101)

=(-51+101)

=50

Therefore, the Forecast Stock is 50 for the particular month.
