IS-Retail: Forecast Parameters

[dave_barnett2]

We are on ECC 5.0 IS-Retail. We are NOT running the separate Forecast & Replenishment application, simply the forecast/replenishment within IS-Retail.

I am trying to get a better understanding of the various forecast parameters and how they impact forecast & replenishment results. For example: Forecast model, Initialization, Model Selection, Parameter optimization, Tracking Limit, Automatic Reset, Selection Procedure, Optimization Level, Weighting Group, Correction Factors, Alpha/Gamma/Beta/Delta. Mostly the "Control Data" parameters on the RP/Forecast View of article master in Logistics:Store.

The online help gives a limited amount of description of these parameters.

Is there a training course, or detailed documentation explaining the impact of these parameters?

I don't see a training course, other than for SAP F&R, which we are not using.

I searched SDN, Service Marketplace, SAP Help, etc. and have not found useful documentation that goes into DETAILS of how these parameters should be used.

Thanks,

Hi Dave.

Replenishment (with and without F&R) is part of SAP IRT330 Planning, Purchasing, Merchandise Distribution.

Unfortunately, I don't know how detailed the parameters you mentioned are part of the training.

Tobias
