BRL Business Essentials And Production Forecast

Jonathan2708

Hi,

I have a NAV 5.0SP1 Business Essentials customer who would now like to use the requisition worksheet to plan purchase orders required. However they will need to enter a sales forecast to include in the demand. I see that the 'Calculate Plan' job has the option to use a Production Forecast but I now find that the Production Forecast objects are in granule 5,820 - Demand Forecasting. This granule is not in Business Essentials, and it's even an optional extra in Advanced Management.

This seems a bit harsh to have the requisition worksheet functionality but without the ability to include forecasts. Is there any way to obtain granule 5,820 without upgrading to Advanced Management at huge expense?

Any help appreciated.

In short... No...

Thought it was a long shot. The new BRL scheme does make ordering easier but I think there are some strange omissions from the granules included. An existing MBL license customer can simply add this granule for a reasonable cost, don't see why you shouldn't be able to do this with BRL Business Essentials.
