The latest enhancements for demand planning in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management provide new insights into your supply chain planning. Use these insights to help optimize your supply chain and improve your financial outcomes.
Feature details
Demand planning in Supply Chain Management helps you plan and forecast demand based on various data sources and signals. The app now provides capabilities that enhance the accuracy of the demand forecast so you can better optimize your supply chain and boost your financial outcomes.
All the new capabilities are available by default. Use each capability as needed with your new and existing forecasts to help improve accuracy. The new capabilities include:
- Time freeze: Set up periods when forecast calculations that run continuously don't update their baseline forecasts.
- Forecast with signals: Forecast based on multiple input signals by using calculations based on the Prophet forecast algorithm, XGBoost forecast algorithm, or best-fit forecast model. The best-fit forecast model automatically calculates both XGBoost and Prophet results for each combination of dimensions and chooses the best one for the final forecast.
- Auto detect seasonality: Automatically detect seasonality patterns for all forecast algorithms. The system runs an algorithm to detect distinct seasonality patterns across different dimensions, such as products and locations.
