ParametersValues
Product Effective Basis

Set the product effective basis to determine the initial date of product effectivity to display data for:

  • Full History: This system considers all historical periods within the model calendar. For example, if the model calendar is set to provide 2 years of demand history, then this parameter sets effectivity to start from the first period. Full history considers periods which may not be aligned to the actual product introduction period. 
  • First Non-Zero Value: Effectivity is determined by the first transaction date given in shipment history
  • Product Start Date: Effectivity is determined by the product introduction date contained in the product data. The option isn't available if the data is missing. 

The product sets the effectivity parameters, with product effectivity calculated at the product–customer level.

Product start dates are only honored if the policy 3. Product Start Date is selected.

Product discontinued dates are honored in all policies.
