Sales usage outlier report .

Question

Hi ,
I would like to create a report which is based on sales data . Here is the requirement ..
Sales Usage Outlier Report - Unusual high or low sales for stock materials in a plant (BI) <br> The report should allow the user to select criteria such as: -ABC code -Standard deviation from forecast -Material.
This report will be used to adjust historical usage for sales outliers that occur during the normal business process. These outliers can cause larger than normal swings in inventory purchases, if not captured during the forecasting process.
Could you please let me know , do we have any std functionality to show outlier in BW ?
Regards

Hi,
For the following requirment, here is the option,
Sales Usage Outlier Report - Unusual high or low sales for stock materials in a plant (BI)
- USE EXCEPTIONS TO HIGHLIGHT THE CHANGES THROUGH COLOR HUES.
The report should allow the user to select criteria such as: -ABC code -Standard deviation from forecast -Material.
- CREATE A USERENTRY VARIABLE ON THE "ABC CODE" FIELD AND ATTACH IN THE QUERY DEFINITION
This report will be used to adjust historical usage for sales outliers that occur during the normal business process. These outliers can cause larger than normal swings in inventory purchases, if not captured during the forecasting process.
THE REQUIREMENT IS NOT CLEAR.  BUT YOU MUST BE ABLE ANALYSE THE DATA AND CHECK THE USAGE OF SALES OUTLIERS AND DECIDE ON THE FORECAST VALUES.  YOU CAN CREATE CALCULATED KFs to analyse the historical data.
Thanks.
