Globals panel
The Globals panel displays the global values of the properties for each period in the
planning engine horizon. The global value is a sum of values across all demand
groups.
This table list the editable properties that control the Forecast Consumption behavior by
period:
| Property | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| History bucket | 1 | A value of 1 means this period is assumed to be in the past and therefore no more sales occur from forecast. The total for this period is the quantity of all the orders. |
| First bucket | 1 | A value of 1 means this is the first bucket in the group of periods that is being consumed across. For example, if consumption is at a monthly level, the first week in the month would be 1 and all other weeks in the month would be 0. |
| Last bucket | 1 | A value of 1 means this is the last bucket in the group of periods that is being consumed across. For example, if consumption is at a monthly level, the last week in the month would be 1 and all other weeks in the month would be 0. |
| Use forecast split | 1 | Uses the base level forecast quantity when spreading the remaining forecast from a demand group to base level. This is defaulted from the global switch and can be overridden by period. |
| Use orders split | 0 | Uses the base level orders quantity when spreading the remaining forecast from a demand group to base level. This is defaulted from the global switch and can be overridden by period. |
| Relative total orders max | 2 | A value of 2 generates an alert in any Demand Group in the current period where the orders are 2 times of the forecast. This is defaulted from the global switch and can be overridden by period. |
| Relative forecast max | 2 | A value of 2 generates an alert in any Demand Group in the current period where the forecast is 2 times of the orders. This is defaulted from the global switch and can be overridden by period. |
