Forecast Set Examples
Forecasts by Region
You have three forecasts named FC-A, FC-B, and FC-C within a forecast set. Salesperson A, responsible for the Eastern region, maintains FC-A. Salesperson B maintains FC-B for the Midwest. Salesperson C maintains FC-C for the Western region. In this situation, FC-A, FC-B, and FC-C each represent a part of the whole forecast. Together, their sum represents the total forecast.
Forecast Scenarios
You have three forecast sets named SET-A, SET-B, and SET-C. These forecast sets represent different scenarios. SET-A is the forecast for the best-case scenario year of sales, while SET-B is the planned scenario year of sales. SET-C shows the worst-case scenario year of sales. You may want to maintain all three forecast sets simultaneously, so you can compare and contrast the effect each has on your material plan.
