What is the exact difference in DP BOM and Characteristics based forecasting? In which situations these are preferred over each other?

Hi Ashish,

DP-Bom is used in scenarios where-in you can forecast dependent

requirements in Demand Planning.

The system determines the component parts of finished products through

the production process model (PPM) or the production data structure(PDS).

Characteristics based forecasting works in scenarios where-in

you built forecast for final product based on the characteristic

values specified.
