Statistical forecasting

170 Views

Hi,

I want to make a forecast. I know I have to make a forecast profile and then I can exceute it in the interactive planning table.

My question is refering to the next transaction: /SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN >> Extras >> Forecast Settings and here I can select: Forecast Key Figure, Corrected History, Corrected Forecast, Expost Forecast and Expost MLR.

I have 3 questions:

1. Do I have to set any key figure here or can I leave it blank?

2. In the documentation I have I understand that I have to select the key figure where I want to save the forecast under Forecast Key Figure, is that correct?

3. The key Figure that I put under Corrected History, what is that for? I have selected the KFA, Then I go to maintain forecast profile (/SAPAPO/MC96B) and set the same Key Figure under Univariate Forecast: Read Historical Data = KFA and it does not let me entry any other field? Should not these Key Figures be the same?

Thanks a lot in advance.
