# Procurement forecast

> See what will need replacing, and when, before it happens

**Procurement** turns your register into a forward-looking replacement
plan: a deterministic projection of which assets will need replacing over
a horizon you choose, driven by lifecycle stage, useful life, warranty
expiry, lease return dates and risk status.

## Running the forecast

Set a **horizon** in months and, optionally, a category filter, then hit
**Refresh forecast**. The result is a candidate list: every asset the
model expects to need replacing within that window, with its reason
(warranty expiring, useful life ending, and so on), owner, location,
department and estimated cost. Add or remove columns the same way you do
on the asset register.

The top of the page summarises the total number of assets to replace and
the estimated total spend, rationalised to one currency across every row
so the number is meaningful even for a register spanning several
currencies.

## Exporting the forecast

**Export** downloads the current candidate list, so it can be shared with
finance or dropped into a budget planning process outside the product.

## Configuring the forecast

Three settings behind the forecast live under
**Organisation → Procurement** (see
[Organisation settings](/setup/organisation-settings#procurement)):
which **procurement reasons** the model considers, which cost figures it
draws from, and the **inflation projection** applied to future cost
estimates.
