Forecasting: planning method in ERP projects with 26 current assignments
Forecasting is a planning method used in SAP and ERP systems to predict future business developments. Professionals analyze historical data and current market trends to create realistic scenarios for sales, resource requirements, or financial performance. This method supports organizations in budget planning, capacity utilization, and strategic decision-making. Structured forecasts enable early identification of bottlenecks and better assessment of business risks.
In ERP projects, organizations seek professionals who can implement and optimize forecasting procedures. Typical tasks include configuring forecast modules in SAP systems, preparing data for planning runs, and validating forecast models against actual results. Freelancers provide support in training users, documenting forecast processes, and adapting algorithms to industry-specific requirements. They frequently collaborate with controlling, supply chain, or finance teams.
Currently, professionals with forecasting expertise are requested in 26 projects, positioning this method at rank 581 of 1233 skills. This demand demonstrates that forecasting represents an established tool in the ERP landscape without ranking among top skills.

Methodology: We count IT postings of the last 90 days that mention Forecasting. Projects posted several times that are detected as duplicates count once; postings without an assignable IT category are missing, so the figures are a lower bound. The trend compares the share of all IT postings with the 90 days before and only appears with enough comparison data. We do not show figures based on fewer than 30 data points. Recruiters are the posters of the listing according to the source, only above a minimum number of postings. The description of the skill is created automatically (from our skill directory or by AI) and checked by machine: no numbers, no company names, only the skill and its neighbours in the taxonomy. Texts are created and checked automatically, numbers come from the postings.
