Hi,
for our S&OP process in IBP for S&OP, we want to execute our Demand Planning Process based on monthly time buckets, and our Supply Planning Process based on weekly time buckets. Consequently, we implemented a Time Profile with the lowest Time Profile level being "Week" in our Planning Area.
If I now use Statistical Forecasting methods within our described system settings, all calculations take place on the lowest Time Profile level - the weekly one. In addition to that, the statistical forecasting profiles use the weekly planning level as input. So, for example, when I want to use historic data of a full year, I have to select 52 periods (weeks) as Historical Periods.
As I would much prefer to base my Statistical Forecasting on an aggregated monthly time bucket and use only 12 historic periods (months) as data input - is there any possibility to switch the relevant Time Profile level for the Demand Planning Process to a monthly bucket?
Regards,
Holger
