Problem Note 54295: Sales forecasts might not match between a promotion and the sales forecast export
In SAS® Promotion Optimization, forecasts might not match between a promotion and the sales forecast export. The forecasts might not match because of very small shares at the low level (individual product-locations). This issue occurs when the following are true:
- Some of the product-locations in the promotion have a very small share of demand of the share group's demand.
- The products that have a very small share of demand are the only products in the share group at these locations.
The differences in forecasts units are due to different thresholds for detecting the small shares in optimization and the sales forecast export.
There is no workaround for this issue.
