General
Forecast Pro Unlimited V6 is a significant revision of Forecast Pro Ulimited V5. It is fully backwards compatible and can read your Forecast Pro Ulimited V5 data files and projects without modification.
Data Input/Output
Supports reading and writing xlsx files.
Supports reading and writing transaction‐style databases via odbc. This new format is generally much easier to generate than the Forecast Pro Ulimited V5 ODBC format (which is still supported). It also removes the “number of items per query” limitations and allows you to use attribute fields to define hierarchies.
You can now save both the statistical and final forecasts to the Numeric Output file.
A new Preview Numeric Output view allows you to view the content and format of the Numeric Output file from within FPU.
A new Forecast Report Design Dialog box allows you to select between four standard reports or design a custom one. You can also specify whether graphs should be included when you save Forecast Reports to Excel.
Safety Stock Improvements
A new safety stock report allows you to view Safety Stocks, Reorder Points and DDLT (Demand During Lead Time) for different lead times. You can also specify the desired lead times both globally and/or locally and they will be highlighted on the report.
Safety Stock, Reorder Point and DDLT can be saved to the Numeric Output file for the specified lead time.
Custom Modeling Dialog Boxes
Custom modeling boxes allow you to specify custom easily and quickly without having to look up the corresponding forecast modifier and type them in.
Reportbased Navigation
The Override Report, Outlier Report and Preview Numeric Output views all allow you to double click on an entry and the Navigator will instantly jump to that item. This allows you to use these reports as Hot Lists.
Miscellaneous
Projects can now be password protected.
You can now display thousand separators (e.g., commas). This makes reading large numbers much easier in reports and in the override facility.
You now have much more control over the precision (i.e., number of decimal places) of all displayed numbers and can change the settings “on‐the‐fly” without having to reforecast.
Support for generic calendars (e.g., fiscal calendars) has been added.
The documentation and help system has been revised and improved.
Numerous small changes have been made throughout the program to make it easier to use and more intuitive.
