Forecasting Group
A forecast group is used to combine individual forecasts that share common item data characteristics. These forecasts share the same base unit of measure (UOM), time scale, and the key or group fields. For example, you can import a forecast from a customer or manufacturing facility and compare the data with an internal forecast based on the historical data.
On the Visual Forecasting screen, each forecast group is represented as a card. Each card displays the following details:
- Name of the forecast group
- Total number of forecasts in the group
- Composite key
- Forecast interval
- UOM
- Date of the most recent update
