Documentation
Definition
The packet size indicates the number of forecast items (recipient/material combinations) that can be processed in a logical unit. The number of time series values to be processed for each forecast item can vary and is defined by the settings for the forecast parameters in the material master.
You can use this parameter to limit the number of items that have to be rejected when an error occurs. The smaller the packet size, the fewer items have to be reprocessed when an error occurs. Small packet sizes slows down performance so you should not choose a value that is too small.
If you use parallel processing for forecasting, an individual process is started for each recipient. This process results in the forecast results being posted in packets, in the sizes that are stated.
If you do not parallel processing for forecasting, the forecast items are also posted in packets.
