Documentation

Definition

Value that specifies the amount by which the forecast value may deviate from the actual value.

Use

Every time a forecast is run, the system compares the tracking limit with the tracking signal, which is calculates internally. The tracking signal is the quotient of the error total and the mean absolute deviation. This comparison helps you control the accuracy of the forecast.

If the tracking signal is greater than the tracking limit, the system issues an exception message asking you to check the forecast model.
