Which three actions would accomplish this task?

A client wants to provide their sales staff the ability to add forecasts for the global total of demand across all SKUs by each customer by month. The client wants to use their historical demand to allocate from a monthly forecast to a weekly forecast.

Which three actions would accomplish this task? (Choose three.)
A . Create a worksheet based on the HistoricalDemandActual table.
B . Create workbook variables for Start Date and End Date.
C . Create a workbook variable for Calendar with a value of Month.
D . Define a custom Insert Definition.
E . Include only columns for Part, Site, and Customer from the HistoricalDemandActual table.

Answer: B C D

Explanation:

For the sales staff to add forecasts, they need a framework that allows them to inputdata within a specified range (hence Start Date and End Date variables). A Calendar workbook variable set to ‘Month’ will align the input with the monthly granularity required. A custom Insert Definition is needed to facilitate the input of new forecast data. Including only the necessary columns would streamline the process, but it does not directly contribute to enabling the forecast addition as required by the client, hence why E is not a correct choice here.
