Forecasting APIs allow companies to exchange data about anticipated product demand and supply availability with downstream supply chain Partners without giving these Partners access to their serialization system of record. These Forecasts Plan Response are used by suppliers to inform their Partners about their ability to meet the Partners' anticipated demand for specific products and quantities.

The Forecast Plan X12 message is sent from the supplier to the buyer and communicates the supplier's ability to meet the buyers' anticipated product quantity needs for an upcoming period of time.
