Documentation
Definition
Average number of workdays per forecast period.
The system:
- Corrects the historical values using this average number of workdays.
The new values are contained in the Corrected history row of the demand planning table.
- Runs the forecast based on this average number of workdays in the forecast period.
- Recalculates the figures to account for the actual number of workdays in the forecast period. The Corrected forecast row shows the results of this calculation.
In this way, you account for differences in the number of days per month.
Example
Your forecast period is "month", and you want the forecast to be run on the assumption that the number of workdays in each month is 20. You therefore enter 20 in this field. The results are as follows:
History Forecast
M1 M2 M3 M1 M2 M3
Original 2000 2000 2000 2000 2000 2000
Days 19 21 23 22 20 18
Corr. 1900 2100 2300 2200 2000 1800
Dependencies
You specify the forecast period in the master forecast profile.
If you select Read corrected history from planning version in the univariate forecast profile, the system does not perform a workdays correction - even if you have made an entry in this field.
Note
If you want to save this corrected forecast, you must have previously included a key figure for the corrected forecast in the planning area and planning book. In the planning book settings you have also assigned it as the key figure for the corrected forecast. The same is true for the corrected history.
