Dear Kris,

Do the following :

1) Define basic setting ( Select characteristics you want to use)

2. Define like profiles and phase in and phase out profile

3. Assign profiles to CVC combination

4. Set material forecast indicator in forecast profile

5. Run forecast with the basic settings or for the characteristics
