A new home for the Coupa Supply Chain documentation
Starting with Supply Chain 42, our documentation will be located on Coupa Compass. The help here will continue to be accessible for the foreseeable future, but will no longer be updated. If you need a Compass user account, contact your company’s Designated Support Contact (DSC).
You can access new and updated Supply Chain documentation in the following location on Compass:

Forecast horizon
A forecast horizon refers to the number of periods for which a forecast is generated. For example, if you are forecasting weekly data for 12 periods in the future, your forecast horizon is 12. If you forecast monthly data for the next three periods, the forecast horizon is 3. A smaller forecast horizon leads to more accurate results, provided that a sufficient number of data points are available in the time series (demand history).
