Forecasted Network Supply
Watch for changes
Overview
The forecasted network supply report shows cumulative supply over time. Forecasted network supply values are shown with variability, the average value will equal the sum of supply from the Trial Supply Projection report. The report data can be shown for different network levels, determined by the report selector (i.e., the Select Network level dropdown).
Example
Report Selectors
Depot: Shows the cumulative supply available at depots over time.
Site Group: Shows the cumulative supply available at site groups over time.
Actual Site: Shows the cumulative supply available at an actual site over time.
Average Site: Shows the cumulative supply available at an average site over time. The average site is calculated from the forecasted site group(s) selected.
Note: By default, the data for depot and site group appears stacked. Applying a filter may be necessary to rationalize the data.
Fields and Filters
# of Units
Defines the cumulative quantity of dispensing units shown in the report. Sum of # of Units (default filter) is the cumulative number of units supplied to a depot or region, such that:
Forecasted network supply at the root node(s) = production quantities required.
Forecasted network supply at a depot = supplies shipped to the respective depot (depot transfers).
Forecasted network supply at a site group = supplies shipped to sites in the respective region (site shipments).
Forecasted network supply at an average site = average supplies shipped to sites in the respective region.
# of Packs
If Pack Size is defined in the Dispensing Units Table, the # of Packs will be detailed in multiples of that Pack Size.
Depot
Determines for which depot(s) data is shown in the report.
Only shown when depot is selected as the network level.
Dispensing Unit
Defines the dispensing unit(s) for which supply quantities are shown. By default, stacked data for all dispensing units is shown in the report. Therefore, it often makes sense to filter for a specific dispensing unit.
Measure
Controls the display of variable data. The report is filtered to show min, max, and average results by default.
Only forecasted supply quantities are represented with variability. Min, max, and average results display as three separate lines on the graph.
Actual supply quantities from the RTSM data extract are shown without variability (displayed as a single line).
Site Group
Determines for which site group(s) data is shown in the report.
Only shown when average site or site group is selected as the network level.
Quantity
Allows the report grid to display both cumulative supply (Sum of # of Units) quantities alongside the non-cumulative supply quantities (Sum of Qty). These values are also shown for min, max, and average results.
Time
Defines the periods for which supply is shown. The duration of a period is determined by the interval for enrollment and demand value selected in the forecast configuration.
Period start dates are displayed as rows by default.
RTSM Data Extracts
In forecast calculations with RTSM data extracts, the forecasted network supply report shows actual data according to the RTSM extract data (without variability). The first period displayed in the report is the period after the period with the RTSM extract date.
