Before enabling and running the Demand Planning functionality, a master data sanity check is required to ensure that engines execute correctly and generate expected results. This feature allows customers to perform this sanity check from the UI for the Demand Planning Forecast Generation engine and the Continuous Forecast Engine. The sanity check generates reports on the measures listed below. See the tables for detailed descriptions of each measure.

Complete the following steps to configure and run the Demand Planning Master Data Sanity Check:

From the Demand Planning menu, select Master Data Sanity Check, then select Master Data Sanity Check UI.
The Master Data Sanity Check screen appears.

An asterisk (*) preceding a field name indicates required user input before the next action can occur.
Using the Engine Name drop-down menu, select the engine for which you are performing a sanity check. You can select Continuous Forecasting Engine or the Demand Planning Forecast Generation Engine.
(DP Forecast Generation Engine Only) Select the hierarchy type from the Hierarchy Type drop-down menu.
In the DP Scenario Enterprise field, enter the enterprise which owns the DP Scenario or select it from the list of scenarios using the magnifying glass icon.
In the DP Scenario field, enter the DP Scenario or select it from the list of scenarios using the magnifying glass icon.
Enter the Product Enterprise in the Product Enterprise field or select it from the list of scenarios using the magnifying glass icon.
Enter the Product Group Type in the Product Group Type field or select it from the list of scenarios using the magnifying glass icon.
Enter the Geo Enterprise in the Geo Enterprise field or select it from the list of scenarios using the magnifying glass icon.
Enter the Geo Organization in the Geo Organization field or select it from the list of scenarios using the magnifying glass icon.
Enter the Geo Group Type in the GeoGroup Type field or select it from the list of scenarios using the magnifying glass icon.
Enter the analysis date in the Analysis Date field.
Optionally, enter an item type in the Item Type field.
(CFM Engine Only) Enter a numerical value representing the Historical Horizon in Days in the corresponding field. The default horizon is seven days for the CFM engine.
(DP Forecast Generation Engine Only) Enter a date range for the historical period you are analyzing in the Analyzed Historical Period date fields. The default value is four weeks.
Click Compute Measures. A list of measures appears in a table below the measures. If a parameter represents a problem with data, the value is entered in the Measure Values column as a clickable link which leads to a report containing more details about the issue.
The screen shown below is for the DP Forecast Generation Engine; fields for the CFM engine are slightly different.
