Defaults

These processing options let you specify the defaults that the system uses to calculate forecasts. The system extracts actual values from Sales History and stores the forecasts that are generated in the Forecast File table (F3460). You can define forecast types for Actuals (AA) and best fit (BF).

1. Actuals Forecast Type

Specify the forecast type that identifies the sales order history used as the basis for the forecast calculations, or Actuals. Forecast type is a user-defined code (34/DF) that identifies the type of forecast to run. Enter the forecast type to use as the default value or select it from the Select User Define Code form.

2. Best Fit Forecast Type

Specify the forecast type that is generated because of the best fit calculation. Forecast type is a user-defined code (34/DF) that identifies the type of forecast to run. Enter the forecast type to use as the default value or select it from the Select User Define Code form.
