Forecasting per dimension in Business Central
If you forecast on a dimension value, the forecast per dimension view gives you a focused way to work. You set a single item and a fixed interval with a start date and an end date, and the view then shows all the lines per dimension code within that period.
This means that any sales orders or purchase orders falling within the interval will show up in the view. For example, if you set the interval to start from the first of January and update the view, you might see a total sales quantity of 60 on dimension code 11 and a total quantity sold of 5 on the same dimension.
When the forecast per dimension view makes sense
The view is useful when you work with dimensions and forecast per dimension for any reason, such as campaign handling. The view locks the period and locks the item number, and displays the numbers per dimension code.
In a typical scenario you might use a project code as the global dimension one. In the setup you can define whether the global one or global two dimension code should be used.
