In the collaborative sales forecasting (CSF) process, you release demand data from CSF to short-term forecasting after you have run a consensus finding in CSF. When you release demand data from CSF to short-term forecasting, SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) must disaggregate the demand data it has received from statistical forecasting from weekly to daily time buckets. It disaggregates the data because short-term forecasting displays data in daily time buckets. In the supplier-lead process variant, the forecast data received from CSF is in weekly time buckets. The system disaggregates the data during release using the demand weighting factor of the forecasting process (time series type VMIP1 and key figure DWFACTOR). The distribution pattern for disaggregation is based on the key figure DWFACTOR. In the customer-lead process variant, forecast and planning is done on a daily time bucket level. Therefore no additional disaggregation takes place when the final consensus forecast is sent to short-term forecasting.
