CUM reset of current plans

The relative CUMs are usually reset at the end of a fiscal year for all plans of a customer. The reset of CUMs is by default performed automatically during the processing of release orders. For customers who do not support the automatic procedure, you can reset the current received CUMs manually.

Note: 

If the customer does not send a CUM reset date, you can configure a CUM reset date in the CUM adjustment rules. Specify an appropriate date in the CUM Reset Day and CUM Reset Month fields. Based on this configuration, Release Management automatically starts a correct CUM reset on the specified day.

You can manually specify a new plan version, for which a CUM reset is configured in the CUM adjustment rules. A message prompts you then to perform a CUM reset.

If you modify requirements, shipped or received CUMs of such a plan, the CUM reset will not be performed automatically. You must explicitly click the CUM Reset button to manually perform a CUM reset. In this way, you achieve more control and consciousness about the appropriate values for the new current received CUM that must be specified.

In case of referenced shipment schedules, you must perform a CUM reset manually in the detail view of the Manage Planning Schedules page. Do not try to submit a CUM reset in the detail view of the Manage Shipment Schedules page. A message prompts you to reset the CUMs in the detail view of the Manage Planning Schedules page.

To reset the current received CUM, select Release Management > Manage Planning Schedules or Release Management > Manage Shipment Schedules and click the Drill down button of an active contract line.

Create a new requirement situation or modify the requirement situation of the current plan.

Expand the CUM Information field set on the Planning Schedule or Shipment Schedule tab.

To reset the current received CUM, click CUM Reset.

After specifying and submitting the CUM reset, the CUM history is updated. You can check the modification when you click View CUMs in the detail view of the View Plans page.

Note: Ensure that you perform these steps when you reset the CUMs manually:
  • Calculate the difference between the current received CUM and the last received CUM before the reset date.
  • Set the current received CUM to zero.
  • Add the calculated difference to the last received CUM.
  • Set the current shipped CUM to zero.
  • Add the shipments between the reset date and the current date to the current shipped CUM.
