In SAS^® Promotion Optimization, forecasts might not be as expected when comparing against earlier releases. This issue occurs because product locations that have a nearest active date that are equal to the start of the current week might be excluded. The product locations have an inactive status in the GEO_PROD table, but the nearest active date is the beginning of the current week. Status is determined based on the value of the etlp_src_ref_dt parameter. This issue occurs when the etlp_src_ref_dt parameter is set to a value that resolves to the week before the current date.
