Restrictions, hints
- Target attribute field is only available on the Fiori job template. Excel add-in will be supported later
- You can create a custom job template with a forecasting step and make it available in Excel add-in to run a forecast job from Excel that saves the name of the forecast algorithm into a master data attribute
- If the saving of the attribute value fails, the forecast job will still complete as successful. A warning message is shown in the application log
Extended horizons in Curve Clustering
Based on request from automotive customers, the clustering have been further extended.
- Years: from 19 to 59 years
- Quarters: from 39 to 167 quarters (from 10 to 42 years)
- Months: from 119 to 215 months (from 10 to 18 years)
- Weeks: from 207 to 311 weeks (from 4 to 6 years)
With these extended horizons, forecast engine can more accurately recognize typical lifecycle curves, and support forecasting for products with longer own history.
