Using multiple forecast models for same selection

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a business requirement where in we have the same selection id, at a product, plant and customer level, that we want to use a trend model with in first 5 weeks and then a seasonal model after 5 weeks to 1 year.

Can you any body advise how we can achieve this?

Thanks,

Hi,

you have to set up two key figures for your forecast.

Then you can maintain two master profiles for the same selection.

Master profiles are stored in table /SAPAPO/DP_FCST2.

The key of the table is:

MANDT

PAREAID

SELID

KENNZ

VRSIOID

Having two profiles per selection you can set up two forecast jobs.

After running the jobs you have to sum up both key figures to one total demand.

Hope this helps.

Hi Robert,

Thank you for the reply. Appreciate you taking time to reply. We have done it slightly different but pretty much same idea.

We actually ended up deciding that we will run the first forecast model, copy the data into a current key figure for first 5 weeks and then run the second model and copy the forecast only for week6 to 1 year into the other key figure. So end of two runs, I will have the forecast from second run in the forecast keyfigure but the right mix of forecast  in the key figure I copied to.

This solved out issue.
