Planning using forecasting in PP

Question

I am using forecasting to plan raw materials. The way I want the forecasting to work is that it shoud copy the historical consumption as the forecast as an example Jan 2007 actual consumption should be the forecast for Jan 2008. In summary last year's month sales = This year's month sales.
I have created the forecasting view for the material but am not sure which forecasting model I should put in the Material Master to meet this requirements.
thanks
