Documentation

Definition

If you want to restrict the final forecast, you can specify the type of restricted forecast change here. You can choose between the following options:

• Constant

  In this case, the limits of the final forecast are constant:

• If the forecast result is less than or equal to the lower limit that you defined in the Lower Limit for Restricted Forecast Change field, the system selects this lower limit as the final forecast.
• If the forecast result is greater than or equal to the upper limit that you defined in the Upper Limit for Restricted Forecast Change field, the system selects this upper limit as the final forecast.
• If the forecast result lies between the upper and the lower limit, the system takes this forecast result the final forecast.
• Adaptive Increase

  In this case, the system adjusts the limits of the final forecast according to the forecast result and changes the values that you defined in the Lower Limit for Restricted Forecast Change and Upper Limit for Restricted Forecast Change fields accordingly:

• If the final forecast is less than or equal to the lower limit, the system selects this lower limit as the final forecast.
• If the final forecast lies between the upper and lower limits, the system takes this forecast result as the final forecast and takes the value of this final forecast as the new lower limit. For the new upper limit, the system takes the previous upper limit plus the value by which it has increased the lower limit.
• If the final forecast is greater than the upper limit, the system takes this upper limit as the final forecast. It also takes this upper limit as the new lower limit. For the new upper limit, the system adds the previous upper limit to the value by which it has increased the lower limit.
• Adaptive Decrease

  In this case, the system adjusts the limits of the final forecast according to the forecast result and changes the values that you defined in the Lower Limit for Restricted Forecast Change and Upper Limit for Restricted Forecast Change fields accordingly:

• If the final forecast is greater than or equal to the upper limit, the system selects this upper limit as the final forecast.
• If the final forecast lies between the upper and lower limit, the system takes this forecast result as the final forecast and takes the value of the final forecast as the new upper limit. For the new lower limit, the system takes the previous lower limit minus the value by which it decreased the upper limit. If the new lower limit is now less than zero, the system sets the lower limit to zero.
• If the final forecast is less than or equal to the lower limit, the system selects this lower limit as the final forecast. For the new upper limit, the system takes the value of the previous lower limit. For the new lower limit, the system takes the previous lower limit minus the value by which it decreased the upper limit. If the new lower limit is less than zero, the system sets the lower limit to zero.
