Most common alongside 830

The 830 communicates a buyer's forward-looking material demand to a supplier: forecast quantities by date in FST schedule segments, optionally including firm release quantities that authorize shipment. Trading partners require it because suppliers in automotive and other manufacturing programs plan capacity, materials, and production against the customer's schedule rather than against discrete purchase orders. Sent by the buyer, typically a manufacturer's or OEM's material planning system, to its component and material suppliers.

When it fires: The buyer's ERP planning run generates or revises the material requirements forecast for a supplier's parts and transmits the updated schedule.

Common 830 rejection causes
  • Part numbers in the schedule that are unmaintained or missing in the supplier's ERP, so demand lines cannot be matched to items without manual intervention.
  • Missing or unknown dock and gate codes in the supplier's system, breaking resolution of the delivery point.
  • Confusing forecast quantities with firm release quantities when interpreting the schedule qualifiers, leading to over- or under-shipment.
  • Schedules transmitted or processed late, so the supplier plans against demand the buyer has already revised.
