The forecaster operates on historical data to create forecasts of future
activity. Forecasts can be created for any driver for which an
historical time series of actual data is available. Q/SERV accounts
for promotional events by linking them to similar events in the past.
Sales forecasts are generated at the merchandise level and linked to
scheduling areas based on a cross-reference table.
Forecast relationships can be defined that extend generated forecasts
into forecasts for other drivers for which historical data is not available.
For example, forecast relationships can be used to create a forecast for a
back office driver based on the sales forecast.
