Forecast Table doubt in Epicor kinetic

Kinetic ERP

Hi All,

Happy new year!! I am quiet new to Epicor Kinetic. Please help us for below doubts:

First doubt:

  1. In the EDI file (app file) there is forecast date for one PO:123 , demand contract no: 151 and Schedule number : 7666
    Consider I had got app file 3 days back…it contains Demand header, Demand detail and SCH lines
    In SCH line, for 666696 part no: there is forecast date 1/27/2025 Qty 275
    In “Forecast” table of Epicor , there will be Qty 275
  2. Consider I got one more app file today for same PO:123, demand contract no, and sch lines
    In SCH line, for 666696 part no: there is forecast date 1/27/2025 Qty 300

My doubt is , what should be expected value in Forecast table for part no: 666696 ? Is it 300? or is it 300+275?

Current stuff is , it shows 300+275 in Forecast table for part no: 666696 for the date 1/27/2025.

I know , it is getting added. Logically Forecast should contain 300 Qty? Am I right here? We are seeing 300+275? who is the culprit here? Our team manually importing EDI files in to Epicore kinetic and they are demand mass review?

Second doubt:
If I Import one EDI of demand contract number and PO today…suppose I have to import same EDI with slight difference in qty on the same day itself …Import log is not showing demand demand detail and Demand schedule rows are created…it is not creating rows for second time if we import on the same day itself…why ? can we set some where in the epicor, is it that , do we need to import EDI after 24 hours?

Thiord doubt : Do any one knows actual functionality of Demand mass review? I did not understand thru application manual about match, unmatch and unreject stuff? can any help me in understanding with some example?

@Mike_Huffar @dgross @josecgomez Appreciate ur help?

@manjeshhb Manjeshhb - sorry but I am not able to help with this one as we don’t use EDI.

We’re running EDIHQ…our maps are set up so if a PO number is duplicated, it doesn’t even get through to generating the APP file.

If you aren’t blocking dups at the EDI level, check your customer setup to make sure it’s checking for dups there:

Thanks for your reply, @dgross, No issues!!. I am only reading the tech ref guides of demand management and practically trying parallelly. Finally I will put my understanding here and let it help others who use EDI.

@JMPCONJ Thanks for your reply. We are using 1EDISource, good point, Let us check with customers that are we able customize any settings as you shown (in EDIHQ) in 1EDI source?.

The screenshot I took was the Customer Screen in Kinetic itself…not EDIHQ.

If you want to catch them in EDIHQ, check your T-set setups at the trading partner level. There are two error handling settings - one for duplicate interchange envelopes and one for duplicate transkeys within a T-set. Default on the 850/PO Transkey is element BEG02 (PO#).
