Hi,

You use this function to define the assignment of forecast profiles to the current planning area in more detail. For instance, you can assign a selection a particular forecast profile.

You have created forecast profiles for the planning area.

With this function you can:

Assign selections to individual forecast profiles. In this case the profile for the selections used for forecasting, and not the profile that has been assigned to the planning area in general.Start various check tools for selections.Specify different forecast key figures for different selections or versions.Limit the validity period of an assignment.

On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Advanced Planning and Optimization ® Demand Planning ® Environment ® Assign Forecast Profile to Selection.On the screens for the maintenance of the detailed forecast profiles (univariate, MLR, and composite), choose Goto ® Assignment.

When you call up forecasting for a selection from interactive planning, the system first checks whether a forecast profile has already been assigned to exactly the current selection. If it finds an assignment, it uses this profile. Otherwise a dialog box appears in which you manually assign a forecast profile.

Regards

Sujay
