-
From the menu, select Datasets > Properties
.
- On Dataset Properties, select the Forecast tab.
- To enable Forecast Calculation , select DMP Forecast Calculation.
- On the Calculation Measures tab, select the Data Type for Demand and for Calculated Forecast.
-
On the Forecast
Time Points tab, specify this information:
Note: Each forecast method enables you to add an offset to the calculation initialization, start, and end points.
- Algorithm fit initialization (init point)
- Select whether to use Time mark or Period
and then specify a value from the list.
The value specified in this field is used to indicate the start of the memory forecast calculation in the application.
- Forecast point
- Select whether to use Time mark or Period and then specify a
value from the list.
The value in this field indicates the period for the forecast calculation. This period is used to extrapolate the forecast.
Note: The end point is usually the first period after a valid demand data (statistics). Each forecast method defines the period extrapolated after the period specified in Forecast point.The Forecast point is a point in a continuous forecast process. The forecast calculation for a period is generated and applied to future periods, depending on the number of extrapolation periods defined in the forecast method or until the end of the views model.
