I have not used forecasting in V6.1 - but
In all other versions I have used the following happened.
At year end - regardless of the seasonality code set at the item warehouse
level, a seasonality table would be created in the JFH file for any item
with the forecast flag set on. This data was often unusable - hence the
opportunity to use it, if you wish, by setting the seasonality control to
'SH' for the item warehouse where the seasonality table is going to improve
your forecast. (experiment with this in simulation mode)
You might like to check your "seasonality used" flag in Application Control
(FOR100)- If it is not set to 2, change it to 2 and try again. This may be
a new feature as valid values in V4 and V5 were Y, N and H. I don't have
access now to V6.0.02 - but I know it used to generate the JFH
successfully.
If you have run your forecasts for January your seasonality profile will be
incorrect if you generate it now.
Was your current year in FOR940 = to 00
Was your current and next year entry in FOR950 correct i.e 00 and 01

I'm attempting to bring up the Forecasting module in BPCS 6.1 and am having
difficulty getting seasonality tables created for items with seasonality
when I run the FOR940 and FOR950 year end programs. There is 3 years of
history in the Basis files.
The seasonality control code set up in the Item/Warehouse data area is
"SH", which instructs the system to use the JSH file for the item. FOR950
is supposed to create that file for the item based on history. However,
reading deep into the help text on FOR950, it says that this program won't
create a record for items that have a seasonality control code of 'SH'. So
how does one get the system to create and use an item specific seasonality
table?
Incidentally, the help text at 6.02 and 6.04 for FOR950 makes no mention of
the fact it won't create tables for items with the SH code.
Any ideas on how to get this to work would be appreciated.
