Compress Sales Forecast Metrics

The Compress Sales Forecast Metrics scheduled process job compresses the summary metrics with the latest transactional metric information from the underlying forecast data.

Run the process from Navigator > Tools > Scheduled Processes. The process runs on all data and doesn’t take any input parameters. It reduces space usage and improves performance by compressing calculated metrics.

Note: Running the Compress Sales Forecast Metrics process regularly is required to ensure the most recent forecast information is available in Sales Forecast OTBI reporting.

By default, the process runs automatically every week on Saturdays at 2.00 AM UTC. This process captures forecast metrics such as committed forecasts, best case forecast, best case, committed, unforecasted, and so on. Typically, you schedule the Compress Sales Forecast Metrics process to run every hour.
