This article is part of the Actions series, split from the original Actions article.

Run segmentation is a procedure that is automatically done during data ingestion. If you would like to manually rerun segmentation, you can do this by calling the run segmentation action; this will rescan the data and apply the configured settings to the historical data.

You can rescan for outliers by manually running Outlier Analysis to search through the historical data and scan for outliers.  

A statistical forecast is created after ingestion of data. You can choose to manually generate a baseline forecast for the entire product portfolio clicking Run. You might do this after making changes to your data, and instead of ingesting all the data again, you can run the statistical forecast manually. 

Using the Cascade Demand Type action, you can copy on line of demand type data into a different demand type. First you must select a source and target scenario, then select a source and target demand type. Next select a start and end date from when to pull the demand type data, then run the action. Optionally you can check to preserve any overrides made during this session, and optionally select a previously created global filter. 

Selecting Static will give you access to cascade from Start Date to End Date.  

Selecting Relative Date Range will give you access to cascade by Period Size (Days, Weeks, Months), Offset Type (Before Planning Period, After Planning Period), Starting Period Offset, and Total Periods.

Below is an example of a Relative demand cascade from Sales Orders to Demand Plan, after the planning period, with 2 months historical and 12 total months. 

Allow or restrict editing for a selected Demand Type. 

Use this action to run the net forecast formula. This formula is Demand Plan - Shipments + Orders. The result is then pushed to the S&OP Planning Worksheet. 

Select Stock or Customer from the Calculate by dropdown, select Sandbox or Official before, and select Monthly or Weekly before clicking Run Action to calculate the Net Forecast. Check Stabilize Demand to make the daily rate use the remaining days in the month/week (outstandingForecast/remainingDays). Leave Stabilize Demand unchecked (default) to make the daily rate use the total days in the month/week (outstandingForecast/totalDays).

Running the Calculate Price Forecast action will calculate future prices. When you run Calculate Price Forecast, the sales history and sales revenue quantity at the ILC (Item Location Combination) level will be processed by the engine to generate an accurate price forecast based on provided data and any additional parameters or variables. This is accomplished with the demand type Price Forecast.
