   The Threshold Release Forecast supports a process in which a forecast owner sends forecast data to a forecast recipient. The threshold release forecast contains product demand information (planning demand), current product inventory levels (on-hand quantity), and target product inventory levels (minimum/maximum). The forecast also contains optional shipment receipt information.

It is intended that the product demand information be sent directly into the forecast recipient's tactical build plan. The target inventory levels define a minimum or maximum (threshold) level of desired inventory. The demand, inventory, and receipt information allows the forecast recipient to calculate shipment releases. Inventory management responsibility is transferred to the forecast recipient. The typical frequency of forecast transmissions is, at a minimum, weekly.
