Documentation

Definition

Forecast value in market-basket price calculations that is determined by the program and represents the sales quantity of a material.

The forecast value is a unit of time in the validity period of a market-basket price calculation and is shown by the period indicator.

Use

The expected sales quantity is used provisionally in place of the corrected expected sales quantity.

The expected sales quantities of a material for the different plants are accumulated to form the total expected sales quantity for that material.

Determining the expected sales quantity

The expected sales quantity is determined using the function module for determining the sales quantity that is entered in the market-basket price calculation type assigned to the market-basket price calculation.

The expected sales quantity is usually based on previous actual sales quantities, which can, for example, be taken from the Retail Information System. These previous quantities are then used to calculate a forecast value, which could, for example, be a mean value.

The function module is also used to set the period indicator.
