What is Ignore DIF in SAP CA-DDF-RT - Demand Data Foundation for Retail?

SAP Term: Ignore DIF

• Component: CA-DDF-RT

• Component Name: Demand Data Foundation for Retail

• Description: A demand influencing factor DIF that enables the user to specify days of historical sales data which should not be used as input data for demand modeling and forecasting. Ignore DIFs allow cleaning up the input data by excluding potentially distorting influences such as sales caused by a one-off event in the past that is unlikely to reoccur. For example, a user might define an ignore DIF for a period in the past when a power outage increased the demand for canned goods.

• Key Concepts: 
  Ignore DIF is a feature in the Demand Data Foundation for Retail (CA-DDF-RT) component of SAP. It allows users to ignore differences between the source and target data when performing a data transfer. This feature is useful when the source and target data are not identical, but the differences are not important enough to warrant a full data transfer. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Ignore DIF, users must first identify the differences between the source and target data. Once these differences have been identified, users can then select the Ignore DIF option in the Demand Data Foundation for Retail component of SAP. This will allow them to ignore any differences between the source and target data when performing a data transfer. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using Ignore DIF, it is important to ensure that any differences between the source and target data are not important enough to warrant a full data transfer. If there are any important differences, then it is best to perform a full data transfer instead of using Ignore DIF.
