The system calculates the quantity needed to be adjusted according to the following rule types:

  • Planned Demand Event
    This Calculation Rule Type calculates the adjusted quantity in Sales History Adjustment entries according to the average sales over a defined period preceding each adjustment date. For more information, see How to: Calculate Sales History Adjustment from Planned Demand Events.
  • Outlier Detection
    This Calculation Rule Type calculates the adjusted quantity in Sales History Adjustment entries when the system detects the outliers in the sales history data. An outlier is an observation point which is distant from other observations that can cause statistical analysis to be inaccurate and should be excluded from the data set. For more information, refer to How to: Calculate Sales History Adjustment from Outlier Detection.
  • Item Ledger Entries
    This Calculation Rule Type calculates the adjusted quantity in Sales History Adjustment entries for a specified location based on the Sales History entries for another location using predefined filters. For more information, see How to: Calculate Sales History Adjustment from Item Ledger Entries.
