• Key Concepts: 
  Additive seasonality is a feature of SAP's Demand Planning component of the Supply Chain Management - Integrated Business Planning (SCM-IBP) suite. It allows users to adjust their demand forecasts based on seasonal patterns. This helps to ensure that the forecasted demand is more accurate and reflects the actual demand for a given period. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Additive seasonality can be used to adjust the forecasted demand for a given period. To do this, users can specify the seasonal pattern they want to apply to the forecast. This can be done by selecting a pre-defined seasonal pattern or by creating a custom pattern. Once the pattern is selected, users can then adjust the forecasted demand accordingly. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using additive seasonality, it is important to ensure that the seasonal pattern selected accurately reflects the actual demand for a given period. This will help to ensure that the forecasted demand is as accurate as possible. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that additive seasonality should only be used when there is a clear seasonal pattern in the data.
