Forecast distribution

45 Views

Hello experts,

i have a question about forecast distribution.

FC is now calculated in DP as a monthly quantity.

The business requirement is to have forecast released to SNP as weekly quantities, according to a distribution function and to the number of working days in the week.

We have a couple of possible solutions:

1. disaggregation in DP based on another key figure

2. use a distribution function when releasing to SNP

I tried using the second option but it's not working as expected in our system, and while i am waiting for a response from OSS i would like to check the first one.

1. FC calculated as a monthly quantity

2. FC disaggregated at daily level according to another key figure (manually maintained by the user where necessary)

3. FC re-aggregated as a weekly quantity

4. FC released to SNP in a particular day of each week (i.e. first day of the week, usually monday). If the week lies in between two months(3 days in Month1, 2 days in Month2 ), the FC has be released in the first day of the week that lies in the "corresponding" month.

Do you think this solution is feasible using standard functionalities or does it require an enhancement?
