Object documentationModel

 

The model time series contain the demand modeling results for specific combinations of product / location / sales organization / distribution channel / order channel / day for the specified time period.

Note Note

Demand modeling is a prerequisite for demand forecasting. Before objects (such as products and locations) can be considered for a forecast, they must first have been modeled.

End of the note.

Structure

Demand modeling can generate the following time series:

  • UDF model time series (/DMF/UMD_TS table)

  • Decomposition values for the UDF model time series (/DMF/UMD_TSD table)

    Caution Caution

    The demand decomposition can create a large data set based on your business scope, and the original hardware sizing needs to be taken into account. For more information, see the sizing guidelines for SAP Customer Activity Repository at Start of the navigation path http://help.sap.com/carInformation published on non-SAP site Next navigation step <your release> Next navigation step Additional Information Next navigation step Sizing End of the navigation path.

    End of the caution.

For more information on both time series and how to generate them, see the documentation of the following Customizing activity (transaction SPRO): Start of the navigation path Cross-Application Components Next navigation step Demand Data Foundation Next navigation step Modeling and Forecasting Next navigation step Define Modeling Control Settings End of the navigation path

Note Note

Demand modeling can generate the following related results (for more information, see Unified Demand Forecast):

  • Parameter estimates (/DMF/UMD_PAR table)

  • Hierarchical priors (/DMF/UMD_PRI table)

End of the note.

Integration

The model time series are generated based on the master data and historical demand data that you provide as input. For more information, see Master Data and Time Series.
