[Former Member]

Folks,

Is there an auto-model 2 best/fit model equivalent of APO available in IBP demand.

I checked sap6 demand planning are but can't find anything that might indicate so.

Hi Guest APO,

Answer is Yes. Following text is copied from SAP Help.

•If you select more than one algorithm for a model and define how the algorithms are to be utilized, the system uses the selected error measures to choose the best fitting forecast model or to calculate the weighted average forecast.

Here is the link to SAP Help.

Hope this will help.

Thank you

Excellent !! Thanks, Satish.

I had read about it but completely forgot.

I have not tested it yet but based on the documentation text marked it as "correct answer".

Appreciate the prompt response.
