JD Edwards Forecasting
By Greg Gibson and Terry Horner
W E1 Editors Note: Many of our
JDEtips articles are inspired by our
readers. This one was triggered by
an inquiry to our HelpDesk wondering why Forecasting wasnt coming
up with the expected answers. So,
we asked Terry Horner and Greg
Gibson to collaborate on the subject. They not only accepted the
challenge; they outdid all expectations! Read how it works, how to set
it up, how to understand and use the
results and of course the gotchas!
One of our Manufacturing reviewers remarked, I have never used
JD Edwards Forecasting and yet I
feel like an expert after reading the
article. We hope you agree!
Note: Although all of the gures
were generated on EnterpriseOne ,
the concepts and most of the directions all apply to World also.

if your client is a Dress Shirt
Manufacturer, they might want
to group together like items; i.e.,
dress shirts with the rst break
out into the different styles. These
would be a Summary Forecast.
They then might want to break
out the Forecast further into
style/size/color so that all individual items are forecast. This
is known as a Detail Forecast.
Summary to Detail forecasting
is very useful sometimes because
you are able to force changes at
one level to be reected in the
