Documentation

Definition

Defines the width of the tolerance lane for outlier correction. The smaller the sigma factor, the greater the control.

The default sigma factor is 1.0. SAP recommends that you set a sigma factor of between 0.6 and 2.0.

The system corrects historical values that lie outside the upper or lower band of this tolerance lane so that they correspond to the upper or lower tolerance limit for that point in time.

Dependencies

To have the system automatically correct outliers in the historical data on which the forecast is be based, you must also select Outlier control in the forecast profile.

If you run the forecast online, historical data that has been automatically corrected by this function are indicated in column "C".
