{
  "MasterPlan": {
    "PlanId": "Plan01",
    "CoverageGroup": "CG_High",
    "IncludeInventoryOnHand": true,
    "IncludeDemandForecast": true,

  }
}

A company uses the master plan configuration shown in the exhibit. What is the effect of setting IncludeDemandForecast to true?

⚠ Common exam trap

Candidates often assume 'IncludeDemandForecast' replaces sales orders with forecast, when in fact it adds forecast on top of existing sales orders, and the system uses forecast reduction to avoid duplication.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

The master plan will consider both forecasted demand and existing sales orders

When IncludeDemandForecast is set to true in the master plan configuration, the master planning engine in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management combines forecasted demand with existing sales orders to generate a comprehensive supply plan. This ensures that both confirmed customer orders and predicted future demand are considered, preventing under- or over-stocking.
