SIMG_CFMENUORKEKE1T - Maintain Forecast Profiles

In this step you define forecast profiles.

A forecast profile consists of a forecast strategy and a group of parameters (calculation factors) which let you project existing values into the future. Since you can use the same forecast profile over and over again, you do not have to perform the tedious task of entering the same data again each time you plan.

To define a forecast profiles, you need to enter a number of factors, depending on the pre-defined forecast strategy.

One standard forecast profile is delivered with the system. You can create additional forecast profiles as needed.

1. Enter a name and a description for your forecast profile.
2. Specify the desired forecast strategy for this profile.
3. Press ENTER to see what forecast parameters make sense to use with the forecast strategy. Enter these parameters.
4. Save your entries.
