You can use this page to view alerts at customer and product category levels for several measures. These measures include bias, forecast accuracy, contribution and MAPE/accuracy target bands, and demand sensing for a specified plan input and number of review periods.
Alert Parameters
Alert parameters enable you to set thresholds for product-level alerts, by customer.
These parameters are typically set by a System Administrator at the global level in the D1000 - Global Demand Parameters dashboard and apply to all product-customer combinations.
Parameters
Effective Parameters are values that are currently set. Edit Parameters allows you to enter new values for the same parameters. When you enter a value, it becomes an effective parameter.
| Parameters | Values |
| Plan For Alerts | Select an input plan to be used to drive the alerts:
|
| Alert Level | Enter the variance measure percentage from which alerts are to be reported. |
Forecast Accuracy Measure | Displays the method used to measure forecast accuracy. This displays either: MAPE or Forecast Accuracy |
| Bias Range Min / Bias Range Max | Enter the minimum and maximum values for the bias alert, in percentage values. |
| Margin Is | Enter the basis for the margin alert as More Than or Less Than the specified Target Margin. |
| Target Margin | Enter a target margin percentage value on which to report alerts. |
| Over Future Periods | Enter the number of periods over which the alerts are to be reported. |
Customer-Product Alerts
The Customer Alerts and Product Category Alerts tables report alerts. You select a customer row in the Customer Alerts table, then a product category row in the Product Category Alerts, to produce a customer-product category combination in the Customer-Product Drill-down table.
Parameters
Each of the tables contains a context selector in its bottom-left corner. This is called the report basis. Use the context selectors to select the bases for alert reporting.
| Parameters | Values |
| Count: Base | Select this parameter to display the number of alerts activated, which sums to aggregate levels. |
| Quantity: Base | Select this parameter to display the alert data, which sums to aggregate levels if applicable. |
| Alert: Aggregate | Select this parameter if you want the table to display positive if the alert was triggered at the aggregate level, for example, if the MAPE for a product category exceeds xx%. |
| Quantity: Aggregate | Select this parameter to display the alert data calculated at the aggregate levels, if applicable, and summed elsewhere. |
Additional information
When you change the values shown in the tables, there's no syncing between the tables.
