The Level of Statistical Product Forecast

I'm Trying a statistic forecast.

And there is below statement in this site

(https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Best-Practices/Statistical-Forecasting/ta-p/40359).

 

  1. Multi-Level Forecast: Ability to forecast at different levels of the product hierarchy (i.e. Top Item | Customers, Item and Brand level can all have stat forecast generated). This requires a complex forecast reconciliation process, review "Multi-Level Forecast Overview" dashboard if this process is needed. 

It could be confirmed that can Product - Location level forecast.

(and Product * ALL_Location was OK.)

 

But can we do the another level of  forecast?

For Example, "Brand-Location" or  "ProductGroup-Location" Level.

 

If we want to do that, we have to create L9 List from the beginning.

 

And if we did the "Product-ALL_Location" Forecast, 

can we allocate it to each locations?

 

Tell me please.

  • Hi ,

     

    As you  correctly said you need to recreate the L9 based on your combination of  "Brand-Location" or  "ProductGroup-Location" Level and then you can create a separate hierarchy to see the different dimensions.

     

    Hope this helps. Feel free to post if you have any further questions.

     

    Thanks,

    Yash
