You can load Forecast Cycle data to SCPM via three methods:
S2S (server-to-server) upload from your backend system
Manual update via spreadsheet upload

6. Data Measures The system represents dynamic data in Data Measures
There are three types of data measures:
Standard – data input to E2open, manually or via S2S from other systems
Forecast and corresponding Commit, for example
Calculated – data computed by E2open
Forecast-Commit Delta, for example
Exceptions – problems flagged by E2open
Based on pre-defined business logic
Supply Shortage, for example
