Edit Forecast Consumption Rule

This activity allows you to define forecast consumption rules. You can specify the shipping warehouse where the demand has been occurred which can consume against a forecast warehouse where demand has been forecasted. The corresponding shipping warehouse and plant details are displayed in the multiline.
