The reports section provides reports to review, compare, and analyze the health of demand planning. It uses a combination of several dimensions, including product, product-customer, plan basis, and accuracy measurement.
The key components of the Reports module are:
- Demand Variances: Enables you to compare different versions of the demand plan by analyzing variances.
- Executive Demand Review: Provides a high-level summary of the demand plan, offering a view in unit volume and margin terms derived from the Consensus Plan.
- Category Health Check: Offers a summary of demand plans for products and categories. You can review how well a category performed by comparing last year's budget to this year's results. You can also look at how well products are doing in terms of units sold and revenue generated.
- Z Curve: Helps you analyze the cumulative progress of the forecast toward the annual total.
- Demand Planning Summary by UoM: Enables you to review the demand plan output in different units of measurement (UoM).
- Demand Planning Geo Mapping: Enables you to review all opportunities, promotions, and demand by product across different locations.
- Forecast Accuracy: Product: Enables you to report on forecast accuracy over different time frames at the product level.
- Forecast Accuracy: Product Customer: Enables you to review the forecast accuracy over different time frames, at product and customer level.
- Forecast Value Add: Product: Enables you to review a report on forecast value add (FVA) over different time periods at the product level. It captures positive or negative changes in performance measures (MAPE or Accuracy).
- Forecast Value Add: Product Customer: Enables you to review a report on forecast value add (FVA) over different time periods for a product and customer combination. It captures positive or negative changes in performance measures (MAPE or Accuracy).
- Waterfall Analysis — Product: Track the historical performance of forecasts against actuals at product level.
- Waterfall Analysis - Customer Product: Track the historical performance of forecasts against actuals at the product and customer level.
- Reporting: Forecast Accuracy and Bias — Product: Enables you to review how forecast accuracy and bias are evolving over time, at the product level.
- Reporting: Forecast Accuracy and Bias - Cust Prod: Enables you to review how forecast accuracy and bias are evolving over time, at the product and customer level.
- Analysis: Forecast Accuracy and Bias — Product: Enables you to review how forecast accuracy and bias are evolving over time, at the product level.
- Analysis: Forecast Accuracy and Bias - Cust Prod: Assess the progress of forecast accuracy and bias at the customer and product level over time.
- Products with Positive Bias: Provides an overview of all products with positive bias that can be investigated and analyzed.
- Products with Negative Bias: Provides an overview of all relevant products with negative bias that can be investigated and analyzed.
- Products with Forecast Accuracy Issues: Provides an overview of all products with forecast accuracy issues that can investigated and analyzed.
- C-Var and MAPE Analysis: Analyze the relationship between demand variability and forecast accuracy.
