Rolling Horizon Modeling Options

This tab has options for use with the Rolling Horizon Modeling problem type.

Rolling Horizon Start Date

When using rolling horizon modeling, this date determines the start of the "planning horizon", at which point rolling horizon modeling starts. Rolling horizon modeling makes the safety stock placement decision in the "historic horizon", and lets you set time-phased safety stock level in the "planning horizon".

The Rolling Horizon Start Date must be within the model horizon.

Rolling Horizon Validation Start Date

When using rolling horizon validation, this date determines the start of the validation. Forecast data is used from this point through the end of the model horizon. This date is typically at the mid-point of the model horizon. Safety stock optimization (multi-echelon inventory optimization or MEIO) is automatically run from the start of the model horizon to the Rolling Horizon Validation Start Date.

The Rolling Horizon Validation Start Date must be within the model horizon.

Rolling horizon dates and regional settings

If the dates currently saved for Rolling Horizon Modeling and the current computer Region have conflicting date formats, the Rolling Horizon option dates will display the last day of the model horizon in the Options window, rather than the dates as stored in the Options table. This can happen if the dates are saved when the Model Culture conflicts with the computer Region. The actual values used when running the scenario are those that were saved in the Options window. Coupa recommends having the Model Culture be compatible with the computer Region setting when setting the dates.
