Resetting the current received CUM

For customers that do not support the automatic reset of CUMs, you can reset the current received CUM 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 Planning Schedules page. Do not try to submit a CUM reset in the detail view of the Shipment Schedules page. A message prompts you to reset the CUMs in the detail view of the Planning Schedules page.

To reset the current received CUM:

  1. Select Release Management > Planning Schedules or Release Management > Shipment Schedules.
  2. Click the Drill down button of an active contract line.
  3. Click Enter New Plan Based on Previous Plan.
  4. Click the Planning Schedule or Shipment Schedule tab.
  5. Expand the CUM Information field set.
    Users can compare the current CUM Reset Date with the previously performed Last CUM Reset Date.
  6. Click the CUM Reset button.
    A message is displayed in the CUM Reset Confirmation dialog box that prompts you to enter the new received CUM and the last confirmed shipment.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Specify this information:
    Current Received CUM
    Specify the new value for the current received CUM of goods that is received and confirmed by the customer. The current received cumulative quantity is based on the last CUM reset date. The current received CUM must be less than or equal to the current shipped CUM and less than or equal to the total received CUM.
    CUM Reset Date
    Specify the reset date of the current received cumulative quantities. The reset date is usually the end of the fiscal year that is determined by the customer. You can select a date from the calendar.
  9. To save the CUM reset, click Save.
    The CUM history is updated.
  10. To check the CUM modification in the CUMs dialog box, click View CUMs in the detail view of the Plans page.
