How can I compare my own forecast with the forecast computed by ForecastEdge?

It’s a common debate whether your manual forecast overrides are more accurate than the statistical forecast computed by ForecastEdge.

We’re not gonna enter the debate, but will just show you how you can review both.

1. Navigate to Forecast Report in the Sales menu.

2. Click on the table icon in the upper right corner.

3. The Forecast baseline row contains the forecast computed by ForecastEdge.

4. The Forecast total row contains your forecast if you have provided an override. Otherwise, it’s equal to the Forecast baseline.

5. The Forecast override is only populated if you have provided an override for that exact intersection of item-location-customer.
