Overview

Special days can be defined for locations when you expect those days to have abnormal distribution. For example, a day where a store has a clearance sale would generate abnormally high sales volume, resulting in abnormal forecasting distribution. If these days are classified as special days, the special days can be included in the generation of forecasts (based on the volume) for these days.

You must assign each special day to a calendar day. You can do so by creating an occurrence for the defined special day.

Special day distribution data can be tracked by the application and used in future forecasting. This feature allows you to apply the same special day distribution data from a previous occurrence to subsequent occurrences. (You can also clear the special day distribution data flag if you expect that distribution data does not need to be applied again.)
