Time Series attributes within Statistical Forecast run

[former_member680672]

Hi everyone,

For our current project we have set up three Forecast Automation profiles:

- Calculation level: Product ID/Cust ID/ Week - store results in attribute X

- Calculation level: Product ID/Cust ID/ Month - store results in attribute Y

- Calculation level: Product ID/ Month - store results in attribute Z

Within setting up the Forecast Models, we have the option to "Consider Time Series Properties" but no option to indicate which attribute to consider.

Question is: how can we make sure that the correct attributes are considered within the forecast runs? For example, if we choose to run fcst on Product/Month level - how can we check if the system has considered the relevant attribute: in our case attribute Z?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Ajay,

When you select the parameter "Consider Time Series Properties", the time series properties to be used are by the most recent forecast automation job.
See SAP Help Portal Consider Time Series Properties.
