Simple Forecast Modifications Demo

This is a test system with 10k products, each having a forward 52 weeks forecast. Products have a set of attributes: Brand, Color and Shape. You can enter Forecast Modifications on any of those levels and the forecast will be distributed accordingly based on the future forecast for all products having that particular attribute. For example, if you have a promo on a brand, the forecast for that brand will be increased by the promo amount. Each product getting a 'fair' share of the promo amount based on its relative size (forecast volume for that week).

Do note this is just a SIMPLE DEMO in real life scenario you would be able to enter forecast modifications at ANY LEVEL (numerous attributes, multiple levels of hierarchy). Also the dissagregation can be calculated in a different way (i.e. total forecast, past shipments, open orders ... you name it). hilo.fm can to it all - and still make sure your high level forecast modifications are there at the low level ready for your detailed production and raw/packaging materials planning.

For simplicity - one can play with current week forecast (i.e. Week 0). Again, this simplification is just for the demo - the only thing that matters is that all the low level forecast modifications are based on the high level forecast modifications.
