Dear,

You have to maintain the forecast profile with automatic model selection and maintain these for the parts while maintaining the forecasting view material master.

You can create forecast profile from MP80.

Now whenever you perform the forecast then these profile will be checked and forecast will pick up automatic model.

Thank you very much . I created the forecast profiles , but how to make this value as default in the Material master

Dear,

I didn't get your requirement. The system first calculates the basic value on the basis of historical data and then updates this value at the end of every period using the alpha factor.

The forecast profiles in SOP are different than those in the material master. In SOP, you can use one forecast profile to forecast a whole group of materials. In the material master, each material has its own forecast profile.

In MC88, enter the material number and plant and select version

For that varsion copy sales plan from the followinbg menu

Edit >create sales plan>Forecast

Copy sales plan to ptoduction plan

Edit>create production plan>sycronous to sales

Hope it will help you.
