Description
Return revenue-weighted error contribution for one SKU.
Business accounting and analytics distinguish gross, net, allocated, recognized and forecast amounts. Currency, period, eligibility and interaction-allocation conventions determine a reported contribution; reconciling one term does not verify revenue, payment rights or future commercial outcomes.
Return revenue-weighted error contribution for one SKU.
When to use this tool
Use Forecast Error Revenue Weight One Sku when reconciling the stated business amount, share, bridge or forecast convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter forecast, actual, unitRevenue, totalActualRevenue. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read signedError, absoluteRevenueError, weightedContribution. Use the output convention below.
Return revenue-weighted error contribution for one SKU. Require forecast/actual/unitRevenue >= 0 and totalActualRevenue > 0; signedError = forecast-actual, absoluteRevenueError = abs(error)*unitRevenue, weightedContribution divides by total actual revenue.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- This is one supplied term rather than an aggregated metric; forecast horizon, price basis and evaluation validity are not verified.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use complete verified accounts and governing commercial terms, and apply the appropriate accounting and financial judgment for actual reporting, payment or investment decisions.
