can't tell you why they are going up om bpcs. 

just to validate that they should be going down i set up a small model
of the 12 periods in excel and used its forecast function to project out
the next 4 periods. according to excel the forecast goes down. 

i use excel and it's forecast function for what little forecasting we
do. it is pretty self-explanatory and much easier that the bpcs
forecasting module, but then again, i am only doing real basic stuff.

Hey gang,
I have a client trying to use forecasting and the computations look 
reasonable but when looking at the trend (which should be going down)
are going up. The 
illustrations are:

Period     Start Date     End Date       Demand     
  12        12/01/03      12/31/03          71.00   
  11        11/01/03      11/30/03         208.00   
  10        10/01/03      10/31/03          58.00   
   9         9/01/03       9/30/03         303.00   
   8         8/01/03       8/31/03          73.00   
   7         7/01/03       7/31/03         162.00   
   6         6/01/03       6/30/03         394.00   
   5         5/01/03       5/31/03          96.00   
   4         4/01/03       4/30/03         471.00   
   3         3/01/03       3/31/03         192.00   
   2         2/01/03       2/28/03         188.00   
   1         1/01/03       1/31/03         264.00   
  12        12/01/02      12/31/02
