- Note: If the results of the PO25 calculation for Forecast fails to be within the lower and upper weighted demand limit values when both the primary and secondary weighting factors are applied (using the factors from Maintain Forecast Calculation Code (PO07), then a simple 12 month average of demand statistics is applied. A 'failure message' is printed on the report in this scenario.
