Considering Forecast in the past for SNP optimizer

[Former Member]

Does SNP optimizer considers the forecast in the past as a requirement?

I tried with standard book and dataview but SNP optimizer did not consider past forecast. I checked optimizer log, forecast was not there also.

Am I missing something? Or is it default behaviour?

Thanks.

Hi

Yes that is the default behaviour, essentially the Optimiser has assumed that anything in the past has already occurred and will only start to plan demand from the first bucket onwards.

Hi Ian,

Thank you for your helpful answer. So there is no standard way to do it?

what is your expected result? Do you want the optimizer to create orders in the past or do you want it to consider the old forecasts as being required today. If the latter, then just change your transfer of FA such that the old forecasts are on sy-datum. If the former, you are on your own!
