D. HOW TO PRODUCE A PERIODICAL FORECAST REPORT

This report exports all products as requested according to filters. In the generated file, in the forecast for weeks/months shown, stock quantity should not fall below 0 (i.e. no negative quantities).
In addition to this, for the pipeline quantity, when calculated for LOG/MED locations, the report take into account the pipeline according to what is coming into the warehouse when PO is Validated (i.e. via input) . This means that the virtual stock from a Validated PO will be considered also.
