Documentation
Definition
Number of offset periods that is applied to the future or history horizon. For both forecast and historical data a positive offset means that period is moved to the future and a negative offset means it is moved to the past.
Note that this also means when using a seasonal model that the start of a seasonal cycle is moved by the number of periods in the offset into the future. This could result in inaccurate forecasts. If you do not require this behavior, but do not want to save forecast for the immediate future, leave the offset field blank and use BAdI /SAPAPO/SDP_SAVE to change the behavior when saving data.
Examples
+8 for the future forecasting horizon means that the forecast is calculated starting on the 9th period in the future.
Dependencies
To use this option, you must define the future and historical forecasting horizons by entering numbers of periods. Do not enter From and To dates.
