DP BOm forecasting and Characteristics based forecasting

[Former Member]

Have anyone implemented DP BOM forecasting and Characterstics based forecasting at the same time in the same planning area/POS? If so, can you please provide instructions /documentation on how you are able to do that?

(The version of SCM/APO DP we are using is 4 .1)

Thanks for the response, however I already know about the SAP help guide. The help guide does not answer my question at all that is why I posted this question.

When I try to turn on both CBF and BOM forecasting, the radio button of either one get's greyed out when I select the other one. However if I un-select the added characteristrics remains and then if I select the other option, it adds the new charactersitics associated with that function.

My question is whether you can implement (turn on) both CBF and BOm forecasting at the same time .

Has anyone tried this as well or have implemented both functions in the same planning area?

I hope this helps.
