IDMSPEC Object

The IDMSPEC object generates intermittent demand models for use with the TSM object. You open the IDMSPEC object to begin defining a new IDM model. You call the IDMSPEC methods to configure the object with the desired settings to define the model characteristics of interest, and then you close the IDMSPEC object to ready it for use in a TSM object. For more information, see the section TSM.Initialize Method. You can also store the XML representation of the IDM in an output table. For more information, see the section TSMSPEC Object.
