April 8, 2021 Release Notes
Updates to the Advanced Planning Forecast Statistics
The information that is presented under the Statistics tab in the Advanced Planning Forecast has been enhanced to better reflect the quality of the forecasts and demand plans that are being created. The forecast quality measures have been redesigned, rationalized, and new statistical measures have been introduced to enable users to better assess the forecast and demand plan quality. Additionally, these measures are all going to be used for upcoming Advanced Planning trend and reporting enhancement.

Split of Forecasting and Analytics
Due to the increase in the number of metrics introduced. We have split the forecast generation and the statistics update so that they can be run independently. The analytics should be run anytime new history is presented to the application. For a monthly cycle this would be at the beginning of each month and if weekly, at the beginning of each new week.
