Yes, foraging units don't receive replacements from draft, and they receive fewer supply caissons in detailed battle and have a combat penalty in quick combat. The forage button is used to override the presence of local supply and instead forage. So if you have a depot and some units adjacent to it, in order to prevent those units from receiving supply from the depot (and thus costing money and using some replacements from your draft pool) you can put them on forage using the button and then they will ignore the supply. (I should say, I believe that is how it works... I did entertain several requests at one point to allow forage-ordered units in-supply still to receive replacements but not consume forage, but I don't *think* we changed the rules this way.)
