Hello ori,

please refer below screenshot.

in Utilize Multiple Forecasts option select method choose best forecast

also tick on consider time series properties. But for 'consider time series properties' option you have to do Time series analysis & anomaly detection.

Hi Oliver, for compatibility purposes you can check the IBP Help link below:

https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_INTEGRATED_BUSINESS_PLANNING/feae3cea3cc549aaa9d9de7d363a83e6/58a0f4eb...

You would have to "match" your data properties (Seasonality, Trend and Intermittency) with the respective algorithms manually, and during runtime the system will select the best output (if the method is defined as "Choose Best Forecast").

Best Regards,
Jorge Serpa.

Thanks for the response.

But how the system select the forecast profile.

In your link it will be descriped "The following table shows which algorithms can and cannot be used for planning objects with time series that are characterized by the various properties"

But which profile or better how can I customized the profile. Have I insert all algorithm and IBP used only the "correct" algorithm ?
