  • 1.  Zero Suppress on Baseline Forecast

    Posted 2 days ago

    Hi,

    Is there a way to turn on Zero Suppress on a Baseline Forecast?   We are nesting two dimensions (Location and Product) in the Baseline Forecast.  However, all the combinations of the two are not valid (we have no history of some products at some locations).  When the Forecast is run those rows show up as errors.   Forecast ran for 1700 rows, only 900 have data, and it showed 800 errors.  This makes it hard to see how many rows have valid errors.

    Hi Scott,

    If you could use the Relative Proportional spreading it may help, without Zero Suppression.

    Best regards,

    Hi Svetlana,
    We are using Relative Proportional.

    Hi Scott,

    We may provide the option in Baseline Forecast to ignore that type or errors, would it be better for your error review process?

    Is the error any different between records with no history and those that have gaps and cannot be forecast?  Because one with no data in history I would be fine ignoring, but records that do not have enough history or have gaps in history, I would be interested in seeing.
