• Key Concepts: 
  A constrained forecast run is a type of forecast run in SAP's Integrated Business Planning (IBP) for Retail solution. It is used to generate a forecast based on the constraints set by the user, such as the maximum and minimum values for each item. The result of the constrained forecast run is a forecast that takes into account the user-defined constraints. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use a constrained forecast run, first define the constraints for each item in the IBP system. This can be done by setting the maximum and minimum values for each item. Once the constraints are set, run the constrained forecast run to generate a forecast that takes into account these constraints. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a constrained forecast run, it is important to ensure that the constraints are realistic and achievable. If the constraints are too restrictive, it may lead to an inaccurate forecast. It is also important to consider any external factors that may affect the forecast, such as seasonality or market trends.
