Problem Note 47372: Forecast Analysis Accuracy scenario "Completed with error" when baseline offset and forecast disaggregation are both enabled, and FCST_DISAGG_METHOD=2
 |  |  |  |  |
When attempting to perform Forecast Accuracy Analysis through the SAS® Merchandise Solutions Configuration Workbench, the scenario might generate a 'Completed with error' status. Simultaneously, the following error might occur in your Merchandise Intelligence Grid Server log:
The errors are generated when baseline offset is enabled, forecast disaggregation is enabled, and FCST_DISAGG_METHOD=2. Forecast disaggregation is enabled when the model specification FCST_DISAGG=1. Baseline offset is enabled when the model specification COMPUTE_BASELINE_OFFSET=1 or the model specification BASELINE_OFFSET_VALUE > 0. The errors are generated due to improper filtering of demand series data.
The workaround is to not enable forecast disaggregation and baseline offset at the same time.
