2973402 - Actual Sales Values Displayed in The Planning Board do Not Match With The Actual Sales Data From The System

Symptom

You execute a Demand Plan and notice that the actual sales values do not match with the actual sales data from the system.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1.  Go to the work centre Demand Planning. 
  2. View Demand Plans. 
  3. Select the Demand Plan ABC (ABC represents the ID of your Demand Plan). 
  4. Click the Plan button. 
  5. Click the Planning Board Layout button and select Maximal Layout. 
  6. Change the Function from Copy Actuals to Copy Statistical Forecast. 
  7. Click on Run Function. 

Cause

The system currently excludes the Third-Party Outbound Deliveries from Demand Planning which may cause a mismatch between the actual sales data in Demand Planning and the one shown in the Sales Order Volume report.

Resolution

This is the expected behaviour of the system.
