Rolling forecasts

Completed

Rolling forecasts help you set up a consistent timetable for your time series, allowing them to automatically update and extend their forecast horizon by using the most recent data and assumptions. This approach ensures that your demand planning process remains synced with the evolving business landscape.

Make efficient demand planning decisions with Copilot

Demand planning has a Copilot feature that allows users to explore shifts, trends, and anomalies in demand while measuring forecast accuracy. This AI-driven tool provides natural language summaries and visuals, making it easy to understand critical insights about various data points and time series. By offering predefined questions, Copilot allows users to identify factors affecting demand, ultimately helping to improve decision-making, enhance forecast accuracy, and optimize supply chain operations for better financial results.

Configure rolling forecasts

Follow these steps to schedule a process:

  1. Depending on the type of process that your organization wants to schedule, go to one of the following pages:

    • Data management > Import

    • Data management > Export

    • Operations > Forecast profile

    • Operations > Calculations

    • Operations > Transformations

  2. Select a profile that you want to schedule or create a new one.

  3. Select the Run schedule tab and then set the Run schedule field to None or Recurring.

    Note

    If you set the field to None, then the process isn't scheduled to run automatically and you must run it manually. If you set the field to Recurring, then the system triggers the process at a specific date and time.
