In a SAS^® Financial Management form template, an administrator can generate a forecast that is based on the historical data in the model for the data-entry table.

The Forecast Wizard uses SAS^® High-Performance Forecasting to generate the forecast data. The forecasting software uses sophisticated automatic model selection techniques to choose the best-fitting model for the data.

If forecasting is enabled for data entry, a user who is editing a form can also generate a forecast. The user’s forecast can reuse the model or request to have a new model generated.

In an I18N environment, the forecast might fail if the length of the dimension member code that is being forecasted exceeds 32 bytes. If this occurs, an error similar to the following occurs in the stored process log:

At this time there is no workaround for this issue. The only solution is to limit the code of the dimension member that is being forecasted to 21 bytes.
