Fcst planning level for assignment

[former_member574207]

Dear experts,

I am trying to change the planning level for forecast assignment but the only one I have available is at Month Product Customer level, however I want to do be able to select Month Product Customer Country level.

At the App Assign Forecast Model I don't have the combinations either:

What am I missing? How could I be able to do it at Customer Country level? (first assign models in app at that level and then select accordingly when running operator)

I have the planning level created and have also added expressions on the KFs involved in the statistical forecasting.

Many thanks

Hi Juan,

The Assign Forecast Models app allows you to specify which forecast model is to be used for calculating the mid- or long-term forecast for the planning objects (combinations of master data characteristics) that exist at a selected planning level within a selected planning area.

The assignment of forecast models is an optional step that you can take before starting a simulation or running statistical forecasting in the background by defining a job in the IBP Excel add-in. If you have forecast models assigned to the available planning objects, you can select the option Consider Forecast Model Assignments in the add-in, thus making sure that the forecast calculated for each planning object is based on the forecast model assigned to that specific planning object. If you have no forecast models assigned, you can only select one forecast model for the entire planning view.

You can assign the same forecast model to as many planning objects as you wish, and the assignment process is facilitated by direct navigation to the respective models in the Manage Forecast Models app.

Best Regards,

Hello Juan,

As prerequisite, you should have planning level defined at Month Product Customer Country level and combinations uploaded.

Then you can go to assign forecast model app and select the planning area and planning level from 'App settings' under your user icon in top left. Afterward you can assign the model to available list of combinations at product-customer country level and then run it from excel.

Thanks,

Rohit
