Object Details
Object Name: MTL_FORECAST_RULES
Object Type: TABLE
Owner: INV
FND Design Data: TableINV.MTL_FORECAST_RULES
Subobject Name:
Status: VALID


MTL_FORECAST_RULES stores rules or options which are used in the
Statistical and Focus forecasting processes. The options can be
classified into Forecast Computation options, Forecast Source options
and Statistical Forecasting Parameters. Computation option governs
which forecast method and bucket type to use. There are two forecast
methods and three bucket types. The forecast methods are statistical
and focus forecastings. Three possible bucket types are days, weeks
and periods.
.
.
Forecast sources consist of the forecast demand elements to be
included or excluded in the forecast process. The demand elements are
sales order shipments, wip issues, miscellaneous issues and inter-
organization transfers. The forecast source options direct forecast
process to include or to exclude the specified sources during
forecasting. For example, if the option only includes sales orders,
then the forecast result will totally depend on the sales order
demand.
.
Statistical Forecasting Parameters store parameters that are
pertaining to Statistical forecasting. The parameters include the
maximum past periods to use, alpha smoothing factor, trend and
seasonality factors, and the option to turn on/off the employment of
trend or seasonality models in the forecast calculation.
