Forecasting in SAP, Moving average or exponential smoothing?

74 Views

Hello,

A very basic question: the forecasting in SAP, MRP, does it use exponential smoothing or moving average method?

If it is exponential smoothing, where do we input the Alpha value (the smoothing factor)?

Say we have 3 years of historical data available, if I choose 0.5 as a smoothing factor, how would I know how many historical periods was the forecasting based on?

Regards
