Hi Raj,
          A little concept clarification here. The was forecasting model works is"
1. You create a forecasting model giving a key figure for which you want to forecast and assign a univariae or MLR or composite profile to it assigning a key figure which you want to use as history and a statistical model. (TCODE: MC96B)
2. Create a selection profile in interactive planning screen (TCODE: SDP94). Select all the products you want to plan for in this profile along with other selections.
3. Assign forecasting profile to the profile. This way you can assign different forecasting models to different profiles.
In your case,
1.Create two forecasting profiles one with Linear regression and the other with Seasonal model.
2. Create 2 selection profiles one with the 300 products and other with the other 700 products.
3. Assign Linear regression to one selection profile and seasonal model to another profile.
Hope this elaborates the solution. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thanks.
