Archival for Calculating MAPE Statistics

A Supply Chain Planning administrator with the Manage Rolling Archives security privilege can create archives for the calculation of the MAPE statistics at a week or month level.

Perform the following steps to run the Build Plan Archive schedule process:

2. Access the Process Details page for the Build Plan Archive process:

   1. On the Schedule Processes page, click the Schedule New Process button.

   2. In the Schedule New Process dialog box, click the Name list, and then click the Search link.

   3. In the Search and Select: Name dialog box, enter Build Plan Archive and click Search.

   If you select to delete archives automatically, enter a number in the Most Recent Days to Keep field. The archive process automatically deletes older archives based on this parameter.

   4. Use default archive name: Select to use the default archive name.

   5. Use user-defined archive name: Select to overwrite the default name with a user-defined name.

6. Click the Schedule tab to set up the frequency parameters.
