## Fields on this page

Layout controls in source order, grouped by the container they sit in. Shows: the table field a control is bound to (or its expression as written); ToolTip: the control's own, else the bound field's (marked).

| Group | Control | Shows | ToolTip |
|---|---|---|---|
| General | Demand Forecast Name | [Name](../table/99000851.md#fields) | Specifies the name of the demand forecast. <small>from the table field</small> |
|  | Description | [Description](../table/99000851.md#fields) | Specifies the description of the demand forecast. |
|  | View by | [View By](../table/99000851.md#fields) | Specifies the period of time for which amounts are displayed. <small>from the table field</small> |
|  | View as | [Quantity Type](../table/99000851.md#fields) | Specifies how amounts are displayed. Net Change: The net change in the balance for the selected period. Balance at Date: The balance as of the last day in the selected period. <small>from the table field</small> |
|  | Forecast Type | [Forecast Type](../table/99000851.md#fields) | Specifies whether the demand forecast entry is for a sales item or a component item. If you choose Sales Item, only sales orders net the forecast. If you choose Component Item, demand from production order components net the forecast. <small>from the table field</small> |
|  | Item Filter | `ItemFilter` | Specifies a filter that will show specific items on the Demand Forecast Matrix FastTab. This reduces the number of entries on the FastTab. |
|  | Forecast by Locations | [Forecast By Locations](../table/99000851.md#fields) | Specifies whether to create a forecast entry that includes locations. <small>from the table field</small> |
|  | Location Filter | `LocationFilter` | Specifies a location code if you want to create a forecast entry for a specific location. |
|  | Forecast by Variants | [Forecast By Variants](../table/99000851.md#fields) | Use this if you want to create a forecast entry including the variants. <small>from the table field</small> |
|  | Variant Filter | `VariantFilter` | Specifies an item variant code if you want to create a forecast entry for a specific item variant. |
|  | Date Filter | [Date Filter](../table/99000851.md#fields) | Specifies the dates that will be used to filter the amounts in the window. <small>from the table field</small> |

## Events published

- `OnBeforeSetMatrix(var ProductionForecastName: Record "Production Forecast Name"; MatrixColumnCaptions: array[32] of Text[1024]; var MatrixRecords: array[32] of Record Date; CurrentSetLength: Integer)` (integration)

## Procedures

- `SetMatrixColumns(StepType: Enum "Matrix Page Step Type")` (protected)
- `SetMatrix()` (protected)

Plus 3 local procedures.

## Triggers

## Relations

- source table [Table 99000851 "Production Forecast Name"](../table/99000851.md)

## Calls

From the extracted call graph of BC29 (graphify-al on the snapshot checkout): calls whose target is known from a declared type or an `Object::"Name"` argument. Interface dispatch and calls through events are not counted, so the list is not complete.

- [Codeunit 1530 "Request Page Parameters Helper"](../codeunit/1530.md) (3 calls: `ItemFilterDrillDown → BuildDynamicRequestPage`, `ItemFilterDrillDown → GetViewFromDynamicRequestPage`, `ItemFilterDrillDown → SetViewOnDynamicRequestPage`)
- [Codeunit 9200 "Matrix Management"](../codeunit/9200.md) (1 call: `SetMatrixColumns → GeneratePeriodMatrixData`)

## Across versions

- Present in: BC23-30
- Changed (declaration) in: BC25, BC28

Source: AL metadata extracted from the code (names, ids, signatures, properties); no code bodies (D10).

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "page", object_name: "Demand Forecast Card")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
