Documentation
Definition
An outlier is an historical value that lies outside the tolerance lane. The system calculates this tolerance lane on the basis of the sigma factor. It then corrects any historical value that lies outside the upper or lower band of this tolerance lance so that it corresponds to the calculated ex-post value for that point in time.
If you set this indicator, the system carries out an ex-post forecast twice: the first time when it performs outlier correction, the second time when it calculates the forecast based on the corrected history. The two ex-post values are not necessarily identical.
The automatically corrected historical values are saved and displayed in the Corrected history key figure that was defined in the Customizing for Demand Planning. If no key figure has been defined in Customizing, the corrected historical values are displayed (but not saved) in interactive forecasting in the corrected history row of the standard Forecast view.
For the tolerance lane formula, see the Application Help for Demand Planning.
What To Do
If you want outliers in the historical data on which the forecast is based to be corrected, set this indicator.
If you want to select the periods in which outliers should be corrected, set this indicator and use a set of historical value markings. You mark the historical values either in the statistical forecast view of interactive demand planning or in the univariate forecast profile.
Dependencies
If you set this indicator and you wish the sigma factor to be other than 1.00, enter the sigma factor. Otherwise, a sigma factor of 1.00 is used automatically. (In the univariate forecast profile a default value of 1.00 is displayed. The system then multiplies this value by a factor of 1.25.)
