CASE 1

From RDF UG:

The Profile-based forecasting method can be successfully used to forecast new items. In order to do that, we need to have a profile (which can be copied from an item that shares the same seasonality) and a number that specifies the de-seasonalized demand (DD value). The forecast is calculated using the DD value multiplied by the profile. The confidence interval is set to 1/3 of the DD value.
