nEach characteristic value combination represents a planning object in Demand Planning. From a technical point of view, each unique combination of characteristic values in each dimension is represented by a key.
Version 1.0

Notes
In Demand Planning and Supply Network Planning, data is divided into planning areas, and subdivided into versions. Consequently, the data that you save in planning version 1, planning area 1 does not overwrite the data in planning version 1, planning area 2. The planning area contains characteristics, and key figures for planning, and must be initialized for every planning version. A key figure is a numerical value that is either a quantity or a monetary amount; for example, projected sales value in dollars or projected sales quantity in pallets. Characteristics are the objects by which you aggregate, disaggregate and evaluate business data. Key figure data can be read from different InfoCubes or time series objects. Key figure planning data is stored in time series objects in the liveCache. To save planning data in an InfoCube, create an extraction structure for the planning area, and connect it to the InfoCube.
There are now only 6 characteristics ( in V 1.0 there was 13 !) and a lot of key figures.

If you carry out the forecast at a high level, the historical data is automatically aggregated. For this reason, the forecast results of a forecast run at a high level (with the results then disaggregated to detailed level) will differ from the results of a forecast run at detailed level. If you carry out the forecast in the background, you define the aggregation level for forecasting in the mass processing job. When you design your planning process, you need to consider what aggregation level is meaningful from a forecasting perspective; for example do you want to forecast individual products, product families or customer specific demands?

Forecasting is a tool used to predict future activity based on specific criteria. The system reads historical data and calculates values which it proposes as future data. A forecasting method that creates accurate statistical forecasts for mature products, slow-moving products and new products does not exist. Approaches that attempt to cover most of such demand types are very complex and tend to be a "black box" for the planner. APO Demand Planning offers a "toolbox" of all practical, proven forecasting methods. The system allows the planner to choose the best method for a specific demand type. You can create a statistical baseline forecast based on any key figure (such as invoiced sales) in any version. As a general rule, you run the forecast using the actual data that is stored in version 000 of the InfoCube. You can make further manual adjustments to the statistical forecast. You can also carry out the forecast using a mass processing job. If you do not have any historical data for a product (for example, because it is new), you can base the forecast on the actuals of a like product or products. For this purpose, you define a like profile in the product master. To store multiple planning scenarios for the same products, use different planning versions. For example, you might have three planning versions containing three alternative demand forecasts: one created using a time series model, one created using an MLR method and a third using a composite model.

A product's lifecycle consists of different phases: launch, growth, maturity and discontinuation. In APO Demand Planning, you can represent the launch, growth and discontinuation phases by using phase-in and phase-out profiles. A phase-in profile increases demand history by ever increasing percentages during a specified period or periods, thus mimicking the upward sales curve that you expect the product to display during its launch and growth phases. The historical values that have been adjusted by the phasein profile are displayed and stored in the Original history and Corrected history key figures. A phase-out profile reduces the demand forecast of a product by ever decreasing percentages during a specified period or periods, thus mimicking the downward sales curve that you expect the product to display during its discontinuation phase. The forecast results that have been adjusted by the phase-out profile are displayed and stored in the Original forecast and Corrected forecast key figures. The prerequisite for lifecycle planning is the existence of a phase-in/phase-out profile in the product/material master. Phase-in/out profiles are not location specific.

Notes
The prerequisite for like modeling is the existence of a like profile in the product/material master. Profiles are location specific. Some products do not have enough historical data to provide the basis for a forecast. With a "like" profile, you can create a forecast using the historical data of a product or products with similar demand behavior. Use "like" profiles for new products and products with short lifecycles. The historical data of the "like" product is written to the Original history and Corrected history key figures. For any product, you can use either a "like" profile, or a phase-in profile, or a phase-out profile, or any combination of these. You must select the Material Fcst Indicator in the Master Forecast Profile. You can run the forecast at the product level or a aggregate level.
u
NOTE: The like profile will only be applied at the level that you execute. In other words, you will not see it at a different level.

Notes
In APO Demand Planning, you plan promotions or other special events separately from the rest of your forecast. Use Promotion Planning to record either one-time events or repeated events. Examples of promotions include trade fairs, coupons, free-standing inserts, competitors' activities, market intelligence, upward/downward economic trends. The advantages of planning promotions separately are:
u u
You have the ability to compare the unpromoted forecast with the promoted forecast. You have the ability to correct sales history by deducting from it past promotions, thus obtaining unpromoted historical data for the baseline forecast. The processes of interactive planning and promotion planning can be kept completely separate. For example, the sales force might do interactive planning while marketing is responsible for promotion planning.
Promotional uplifts can be defined in units or percentages by promotion patterns. A promotion pattern that occurred in the past can be automatically detected and recreated for future periods. A promotion pattern can be archived in a promotion catalog; it can therefore be reused if a promotion of the same type is repeated.

Note: Any regeneration of the statistical forecast after changing the forecast model or parameters will cause all changes to be saved to the Master Forecast Profile, unless one does either of the following: 1. Assigns a unique forecast profile, or 2. Clicks yellow Exit button and, when prompted to Save, selects No.

Note: Clicking the radio button Save Assignment with Unique Forecast Profile creates a unique forecast profile with these forecast settings for this specific characteristic combination only. It is recommended that you choose Save Assignment with Unique Forecast Profile unless you want your chosen forecast profile to apply to more than one selection. Note: Clicking the radio button Save Assignment of Selection for Forecast Profile will save these settings to the Master Forecast Profile. Additionally, this profile will be applied to the current selection, which includes the generation of the baseline statistical forecast in the monthly batch run.
