Problem Note 58322: Sales forecasts might not match between a promotion and the sales forecast export
 |  |  |  |  |
In SAS® Promotion Optimization, sales forecasts might not match between a promotion and the sales forecast export. The differences occur when the products in a promotion are modeled with a Share model and the following conditions are true:
- The PS model specification is set to 0, which means to not include promotion support effects.
- The PS_xx model specifications are forced (PS_xx=4).
- The PS_TOTAL_LENGTH model specification has a value greater than 0.
The workaround for this issue is to disable all the PS_xx model specifications (set PS_xx=0) for the model group.
