Create the Order Forecasting for Manufacturing App

Create the Order Forecasting for Manufacturing App

Generate statistical order forecasting for advanced account forecast sets using a custom app. With the Order Forecasting for Manufacturing template, you can create a custom app to deploy a preconfigured recipe that generates statistical order forecasts. The preconfigured recipe uses a Time Series Forecasting Transformation node with the Multiplicative model to generate these forecasts.
