Family Level and SKU Forecasting
I know it is possible to achieve exactly what the customer wants in ODP although they should receive a far more sophisticated result in Demantra.
In ODP, you would:
1. Create a forecast measure at the item level to generate the forecast for months 1 to 3.
2. Create a forecast measure at the family level to generate the forecast for months 4 to 12.
3. Create a formula to add these 2 forecasts together to give a continuous forecast to months 1 to 12.
4. Send this forecast to ASCP at the item level
This is all standard configuration.
Our customer is using ODP 11i10, and we are proposing that they upgrade to Demantra Demand Management.
