Posted on by Prabhath-AX 105

Hello Team,

I have a customer who wants to start using Demand Forecasting in AX2012 R3. Currently, the master planning module is being run successfully.

Could you please tell me the logic behind generating a statistical demand forecast? 

Just taking a simple case for an item below to a customer for 3 months and I would like to know, what is the basis system has arrived the Demand forecast?

Month      Actual Demand is 

Aug-2018 - 3543

Sep-2018 - 2419

Oct-2018 - 5981

Now, the forecast generated by the system for the period November'2018 is 6978 and December is 1968. How can I check that, this figure is correct??

I have also atttached the generated forecast and period by which, it has run. Apprecating an earliest solution please...

    Use ARTXP if you are looking at short term (less than 5 buckets) predictions.

    Use ARIMA if you are looking for long term predictions.

    Microsoft, recommends using the Value of “Mixed” when using over 5 forecast buckets/periods.
