I understand the fundamentals of forecasting - but we came across an interesting issue the other week. Working on CAL ( Cdn line for rebuilt calipers by Cardonne ) - everything looks OK but thanks to someone sharp at one of the stores - they noticed we were pulling one side but not the other in our returns. Typically both sides have similar movement codes.
Working with Randy M on the CARQUEST help desk - and he took the issue to WHI & Tier#2 - seems a bit fuzzy - but WHI seem to be saying that FIXED works better that Relative ( see image ) --we are testing out --when we changed our profile it did pick up MORE stock that should have been returned - we see if stores can tell me if it picked up everything.
We will pull data into excel and have a look - the forecast module only shows us what it wants - sometimes it is handy to see ALL data like you can in excel.
More info to follow - I am sure
