Order Promising
Once the forecast at each final distribution point is determined, the sum of all of the final distribution points served by an area distribution center constitutes the forecast for the area stocking point
Forecasting by Aggregation
Determines a forecast at final distribution centers by forecasting the total nationwide or worldwide sales for the product, in terms of the number of units. (Forecasting total sales tends to yield a more accurate forecast). A second forecast is then used which involves the historical percentage of the total sales consumed by each regional center. Regional sales are then distributed, again by historical percentages, to area centers and so forth.
Forecasting by Allocation

Product volume
Used to separate periods or groups of periods for planning purposes
Time Fence
that point in time inside of which the forecast is no longer included in total demand and projected available inventory calculations; inside this point, only customer orders are considered. Beyond this point, total demand is a combination of actual orders and forecasts depending on the forecast consumption technique chosen
Demand Time Fence
A point in time denoted in the planning horizon of the master scheduling process that marks a boundry inside of which changes to the schedule may adversely afect component schedules, capacity plans, customer deliveries and cost.
Planning Time Fence
PAB in first period=

PAB after first period and prior to DTF=
Prior period PAB+MPS - Customer Orders
PAB after the demand time fence =
Prior period PAB+MPS - (Greater of forecast or customer orders)
