MRP Item Forecast - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The MRP Item Forecast report details the independent demand (forecasts) that drives the planning process. It allows planners to review the specific forecast entries for an item, including the source of the forecast, quantities, and dates. This is crucial for validating the “input” side of the MRP equation.
Business Challenge
If the forecast is wrong, the plan will be wrong (“Garbage In, Garbage Out”). Planners need to validate the forecast data before running the plan.
- Forecast Accuracy: “Why is the system planning for 10,000 units? Did someone enter an extra zero?”
- Source Identification: “Is this demand coming from the Sales Forecast or the Marketing Promo Forecast?”
- Consumption: “Has this forecast been ‘consumed’ by actual sales orders, or is it still driving additional production?”
Solution
The MRP Item Forecast report lists the detailed forecast entries.
Key Features:
- Forecast Sets: Identifies which forecast set (scenario) the data belongs to.
- Granularity: Shows individual forecast entries with dates and quantities.
- Project Association: Can link forecasts to specific projects (for Project Manufacturing).
Technical Architecture
The report queries the Master Scheduling/MRP forecast tables.
Key Tables and Views
MRP_FORECAST_ITEMS_V: The primary view for forecast entries.MRP_FORECAST_DESIGNATORS: Defines the forecast names and sets.MRP_FORECAST_DATES: Stores the specific dates and quantities for each forecast entry.
Core Logic
- Selection: Filters forecasts based on the Forecast Set and Item.
- Details: Retrieves the quantity, date, and bucket type (Day/Week/Period) for each entry.
- Consumption Logic: (Depending on the view used) may show the original forecast quantity versus the current (unconsumed) quantity.
Business Impact
- Plan Accuracy: Ensures that the manufacturing plan is based on valid and verified demand signals.
- Collaboration: Facilitates discussions between Sales (who generate the forecast) and Operations (who execute it).
- Inventory Management: Prevents over-production caused by obsolete or duplicate forecast entries.
Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library
We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.
Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.
Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.
The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.
The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
