The master data, such as LS Forecast Batches, LS Forecast Items, and LS Forecast Locations, are the pre-requisite components for LS Forecast to calculate forecasts. They must be set up in LS Central and uploaded to LS Forecast before the forecast calculation can be performed. In addition, the LS Forecast Dimensions and LS Forecast Dimension Entries are optional data and are also included in the master data synchronization process.
To perform the upload action, you have the options to upload the data manually or schedule the synchronization process by using the Scheduler Job.
