What happens when I submit forecast options changes?

When you change forecast period parameters, a process starts that regenerates all future scheduled forecasts. It deletes them and then recreates them.

Forecast period parameters include forecast period, forecast frequency, first forecast due date, territory freeze date, number of concurrent forecasts, and number of scheduled periods.

When you change forecast criteria, a process starts that updates future scheduled forecasts. A change to metrics, the product totals selection, or scheduled forecasts doesn't regenerate the future scheduled forecasts.

If the Forecasting Autopilot process is enabled, then it reevaluates the settings and reschedules the other processes. Forecasting Autopilot runs at the next scheduled time after you submit your changes. If you want to run it before that, you can run a standalone Forecasting Autopilot process using the parameter setup_auto_pilot=ON.
