Al, I would strongly recommend that you look at your Interactions report with a column added for "skills," "skills active," and "skills removed." This will help you understand how your volume is actually coming into Genesys Cloud. Sometimes, the ways that we think data comes in is not how it actually comes in. Did you have the system generated route paths, or did you create your own? The system only looks at the historical data that corresponds with the route path/planning groups. If the route paths/planning groups are built in a different manner thank how they actually came in, the system doesn't have data to look at for forecasting purposes.
Example:
I build a planning group for QA, Skill1, English
The way the volume actually comes in is QA, Skill1, None
Because the planning group is looking at volume that doesn't exist, it isn't going to forecast anything. The system believes we have received 0 (or maybe 1/2 test calls) with the QA, Skill 1, English combination.

Another department I recently created is not populating any forecast data and they have been live for a month. Are they too recent for Forecasting? They are receiving several calls, but the Forecast is populating 1-2 calls. Also, I would like an answer to my original post, as I meet with the Department Thursday morning. Is there a call volume limit for capacity planning?

They are being routed through Genesys, this department I created in WFM new, but they have been live with Genesys for several months. There call volume is low, do this matter?

Are the interactions for this PG being routed through Genesys or are you importing the historical data?

Hello @Al Maatouk,
I see the screenshot shows only 1 day, does the forecast you used to generate these requirements have at least 1 week with data?

Hello,
Is there a limit to the number of calls needed in order to get a staffing requirement FTE. This current department only averages 50 calls a day. Is the call volume too low?
Would they be able to benefit from the Capacity Planning Feature on 6/30?
