Business Structure Attribute
Business Structure Attributes (also called Location Attributes) allow administrators to assign configurable properties to locations in the organizational hierarchy. There are two configurable forecast attributes:
- Forecast Week Start Day — determines when the forecast week begins for each site or group of sites. For more information about the Forecast Week Start Day feature, go to Start Day of Week.
- Generate Volume Intervals — controls whether the Volume Forecast Intervals Engine distributes daily volume predictions into sub-daily intervals (15, 30, or 60 minutes). For more information about the Volume Intervals feature, go to Generate Volume Intervals.
These attributes support use cases in which a business structure spans multiple forecast week configurations — for example, a retailer whose US stores start on Sunday while European stores start on Monday — and in which locations selectively require intraday volume interval detail.
