Agree with answer C - generate a statistical baseline forecast. From the link above: "The system automatically adjusts the Baseline forecast start date - From date field to match the beginning of a forecast bucket."

Agree as well. 'Demand forecasting might not be the best fit for customers in industries such as commerce, wholesale, warehousing, transportation, or other professional services.' Its for manufacturing purpose. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/supply-chain/master-planning/introduction-demand-forecasting

Selected Answer: C

Option D is Make use of demand forecast details. This sounds promising, as demand forecast details allow you to view or adjust specific forecast lines. However, it’s a more granular action that assumes a forecast already exists. It’s not the primary step for enabling the automatic creation of planned orders in master planning—it’s more of a refinement tool. The best action to start with is C. Generate a statistical baseline forecast. Once generated, you can configure master planning parameters to ensure planned orders are created automatically based on the forecast’s need or end date. So, the answer is: C.
