Referring to the graphic, the TV Family represents an MPSConfig planning BOM.

The SalesForecast for the TV family is for 1000 units, as shown in the graphic. The MPSConfig planning BOM will generate a planned order equal to the SalesForecast quantity because there is no available supply. OptionRatio and QuantityPer indicatethe proportion of the forecast to be planned for each product type (LCD and Plasma), not the total quantity to be planned. Therefore, the planned order quantity will match the total forecasted demand, which is 1000 units.

ReferencesThis conclusion is drawn from the Master Production Schedule (MPS) and Bill of Materials (BOM) configuration rules within Kinaxis RapidResponse. When there is no supply to meet demand and forecasts are being translated into planned production, the full amount of the forecast typically becomes the planned order quantity.
