Reviewing the CUM Information field set

On the Combined Plan tab, you can view the current status of the current shipped CUM, the current received CUM, and the in-transit quantity. These fields represent the latest CUM status of current plans. On the Shipment Schedule and Planning Schedule tabs, the same fields are part of the CUM Information field set, but have a different meaning. They show the CUM situation at the time of the release order import of the last single plan that changes the CUMs.

The CUM Information field set on the Combined Plan tab shows a reduced number of CUM fields.

To review the CUM Information field set:

  1. Select Release Management > Plans.
  2. Click the Drill down button of an active plan.
  3. On the Combined Plan tab, expand the CUM Information field set. Review this information:

    The total cumulative quantity of goods that is received and confirmed by the customer. The total cumulative received quantity is based on the contract duration, for example, several years.
    Total Shipped CUM
    The total shipped cumulative quantity of goods that is sent by the supplier. The total shipped cumulative quantity is based on the contract duration, for example, several years.
    Current Shipped CUM
    The field shows the value for the current shipped cumulative quantity of goods that has been sent by the supplier.
    Last Received Date
    The date of the last goods receipt by the customer.
    Last Received Quantity
    The quantity of the last goods receipt by the customer.

    Last Shipment Date

    In-Transit Quantity
    This field shows the quantity in-transit that is sent by the supplier.
    CUM Difference
    This field shows the CUM difference that you received from the customer. A CUM difference occurs in the period between the customer's MRP run and the sending of a new release order. In this period further goods receipts that are booked by the customer are not reflected in his current requirement situation. In consequence, the CUM difference must be subtracted from the effective requirements to prevent these quantities from being shipped again to the customer.
    CUM Reset Date
    The reset date and time of the cumulative quantities.
    CUM on Reset Date
    The total cumulative quantity on the CUM reset date and time.
    Current Received CUM
    The current cumulative quantity of goods that is received and confirmed by the customer. The current received cumulative quantity is based on the last reset date.
