AI Foundation Modules
The following table lists modules within the AI Foundation applications which may be used by one or more other RAP applications, in addition to the common modules from the prior section. This primarily covers forecasting and integration needs for Planning application usage. It is important to note that the underlying process for generating forecasts leverages jobs from the Lifecycle Pricing Optimization (LPO) application, so you will see references to that product throughout the POM batch flows and in Retail Home modules.
Table 5-4 AI Foundation Shared Batch Modules
Application | Module | Usage Notes |
---|---|---|
AI Foundation |
FCST > Batch |
Collection of batch jobs associated with foundation loads, demand estimation, and forecast generation/export. The modules under this structure are needed to get forecasts for Planning. |
To initialize data for the forecasting program, use the ad hoc POM process RSE_MASTER_ADHOC_JOB
described
in Sending Data to AI Foundation. After the platform is initialized, you may use the Forecast Configuration user interface to set up and run your
initial forecasts. For complete details on the requirements and implementation process for forecasting, refer to the Retail
AI Foundation Cloud Services Implementation Guide.
For reference, the set of batch programs that should be enabled for forecasting are listed below (not including foundation data loads common to all of AI Foundation). Enable these by syncing POM with MDF modules, though it is best to validate that the expected programs are enabled after the sync.
Note:
Jobs with PMO in the name are also used for Lifecycle Pricing Optimization and are shared with the forecasting module.Job Name |

There are also two processes involved in forecast exports to MFP, one as part of weekly batch and the other as an ad hoc job which you can run during implementation.
