The Moving Average Methods page displays all statistical forecasts for the moving average forecast methods.

You can select the combination of customer and product data to display from the context selectors in the top-right corner. You can also manually enter the reference ID if you know it. 

This card displays the forecast basis input from which the statistical forecasts are calculated. Input to stat is set in the demand application D1000 - Global Demand Parameters. When there's more than one forecast basis, the Mixed Data Check is highlighted in pink. For example:

  • When the demand forecast basis for customer-product A is set to Corrected History.
  • When customer-product B is set to Pure Demand.

Note: To make sure an accurate view of forecasts is displayed when you select a higher customer hierarchy level than customer-product at the leaf level, align the forecast basis for all customer-product combinations uniformly.

Display parameters are set in the View Settings pane.
