• SAP Analytics Cloud Predictive Planning – Frequently Asked Questions
  Question: when writing back the predictive forecasts to the private version, I received an error that not all forecasts could be written back and that the planning model time range should be extended. I am not sure why I receive this error and what to do. Can you please help?

  Answer: irregular time series might cause the predictive forecasts to extend beyond what the end-user expects as a range. If I have only one data point filled every two years, Predictive Planning will reproduce this similar pattern in the future. The typical way to prevent this message from appearing is to exclude the entities causing this problem up-front or fixing the fact that data is too sparse. Such issues can be spotted via a dedicated SAC story to pre-analyze the data or using the “Row Count” per entity once the Smart Predict model has been trained.
