MPS: Forecasted Demand
Advanced tool to input forecasted demand data into Master Production Schedule.
STORY BEHIND THE FEATURES
ODOO'S FUNCTIONS
Odoo's Master Production Schedule is a robust tool for forecasting stock and creating replenishment plans based on product demand. However, one limitation is that all forecasted demand data needs to be manually inputted for each period, and there is no built-in tracking for the input data.

Cluedoo introduces an advanced tool that enhances Odoo's Master Production Schedule by offering the following features:
- Planning forecasted demand for multiple periods.
