Question:How Much Backward Forecasting is done with 'WriteFit' Forecasting Parameter?

Content

Hi Team,

We have enabled the 'Write fit' (set to 1) forecasting parameter in the forecasting profile and ran the Demand Plan by changing the 'Plan Horizon Days' for multiple scenario as summarized below.

Question: How is 'Backward Forecasting' monthly buckets getting determined in the plan when the 'Write fit' parameter is enabled in forecasting Profile?

 

Parameters	Scenario1	Scenario2	Scenario3	Scenario4	Scenario5	Scenario6
Plan Horizon Days (In Plan Option)	365	180	420	365	180	620
Plans Forecasting Monthly Buckets (In Plan Option)	13	7	15	13	7	22
Forward Forecast Monthly Buckets	13	7	15	13	7	22
Backward Forecast Monthly Buckets (Writefit)	12	19	19	19	19	19

 

Thanks,

Ramesh
