Table of contents

Forecasting APIs allow companies to exchange data about anticipated product demand and supply availability with upstream supply chain Partners without giving these Partners access to their serialization system of record. These Forecasts can be used by buyers to inform their Partners about anticipated demand for specific products and quantities they expect to need in an upcoming amount of time.

The Forecast Plan X12 message sends advanced notice to a supplier about the buyer's anticipated product quantity needs for an upcoming period of time.

Contact your TraceLink Services representative for more information about integrating with this message.
