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.
