Forecast

1. Forecast Type

Specify the forecast type that the system uses to simulate future periods. When simulating future periods, the system searches for data corresponding to this forecast type.

Leave this option blank if you do not want the system to simulate future periods or generate profit and revenue charts for future periods.

Note: When you activate this option, the remaining options on this tab are active. If you leave this option blank, the remaining options on this tab are inactive.

2. Date Period

Specify the period type the system uses when simulating future periods. The system uses this value to determine which period type to use from the Fiscal Date Pattern that you entered in the Fiscal Date Pattern processing option. This value must be equal to the one used when the forecast type was generated. Values are:

1: Weekly

2: Monthly

Note: This option is active when the Forecast Type option is activated.

3. Fiscal Date Pattern

Enter a code from the Date Pattern (H00/DP) UDC table to determine the period start and end dates for querying the forecast table.

Note: This option is active when the Forecast Type option is activated.
