Hi
I have tried to find some information and examples using Replenishment forecast and seasonality in the Acumatica partner portal, but just find training that includes only the forecast, not seasonality. Does anyone here have some documentation with examples(use cases) on how the seasonality works in the Replenishment forecast? I'm specially interesting in how to set the Start and End dates in the seasonality, as I do not fully understand the logic behind it.
Let's say we do forecasting analyzing one month back and we calculate and apply the parameters the first day of each month. A example could be that we have a low season during July compared to June(in June we have normal purchase and sales) and then in August we have a high season compared to June. How should the seasonality be setup for this?
Did you look at the Acumatica Distribution Intermediate D200 course? Not a whole lot of information, but if you search this PDF file for "seasonality" there are some bits of information:

Hi
Thanks for the reply! Yes, I have looked at it. But just wanted to see if anyone would have some "real life" use cases/customers where this has been used and how it has been setup, to get a better understanding=)
Ah, I see. So it seems like the question is not about the formula, but about the "real world" ways to leverage the formula. Sorry, I wish I could be of help here.
Regarding the formula though, just wanted to point out this help article, specifically the section highlighted in the screenshot below:

The demand forecast model simply put works out your vendor lead time, daily sales demand and measures deviations on vendor lead times and daily sales deviations over the period you have determined to review.
The seasonality factor is used as a multiplier to the average sales demand calculated.
The service level is simply a factor in working out what your safety stock should be.
I'm starting to take some notes on this as I go through the formula:
