Aggregated Shipment Forecast
Introduction
The aggregated shipments forecast shows aggregated shipment quantities over time for multiple scenarios. In forecast calculations with RTSM data extract, only shipments forecasted by 4C Supply® are shown in the shipment forecast.
Among others, the aggregated shipment forecast can be used to determine the forecasted shipment quantities in a shipping lane across multiple studies.
Notes
Data is aggregated on multiple levels in the aggregated shipment forecast:
Shipment types are aggregated by shipment type code. Therefore, users must choose common shipment type codes for shipment types where aggregation is intended.
Depots are aggregated by depot code. Therefore, users must choose common depot codes for depots where aggregation is intended.
