Frequently asked questions

What is forecast profile and curve management?

It lets planners set, calculate, and manage the profiles and curves that shape a forecast, including seasonality, product lifecycle stages, and size mix.

Can I create my own curves?

Yes. You can calculate curves from sales history or enter them manually, then edit any period or size bucket.

How does this help new products?

Assign a lifecycle and seasonality profile from similar items so new products get a realistic forecast before they have history.

Where are size mix curves used?

Size curves split item demand across sizes, improving buys, open-to-buy, and allocations for apparel, footwear, and other sized products.
