You can't remove the Warehouse demand forecast dimension from forecast lines

KB number: 4614408

Symptoms

This issue occurs when the Warehouse dimension isn't assigned on the Forecast dimensions tab of the Demand forecasting parameter page. Nevertheless, the Warehouse column is shown on the Demand forecast page (Master planning > Forecasting > Manual forecast entity > Demand forecast lines).

Resolution

The settings on the Forecast dimensions tab of the Demand forecasting parameter page don't affect the Demand forecast page. They control the baseline forecast that is generated and shown in the adjusted demand forecast. However, they don't control the dimensions that are required for the "real" demand forecast. By authorizing the records that are shown on the Adjusted demand forecast page, you can convert them to "real" forecast entries for a forecast model. That model can then be used for master planning.

On the Demand forecast page, the dimensions for the "real" forecast that are shown on the demand forecast lines are part of the inventory dimensions. (This behavior resembles the behavior for sales order lines.) If your system isn't set up to use Warehouse as a mandatory inventory dimension, you can customize the page to hide the column.
