Use this tab to view the settings for forecast consumption. You can enter the number of days that defines the range in which forecast can be consumed by the actual demand. This range is known as the forecast consumption window. If consumption occurs outside this range, a project master schedule action message is created. You can also indicate whether any unconsumed forecast quantity that remains when the forecast reaches the demand time fence (DTF) should be added to the first day outside of the DTF or be dropped.
When you create a new project master scheduled part, the default values for these settings are obtained from the Project MS Basic Data window.
