Channel Master Plan (cpdsp5130m000)

Use this session to maintain a channel master plan and to view and maintain demand and ATP data for an item and its channels.

You can initialize channel master plans in the Initialize, Roll, and Update Scenario (cprpd4200m000) session, by selecting the Generate Item/Channel Master Plan check box.

The channel master plan allows you to control the sales and forecasting of demand that comes from a specific channel. By using this session, you can set demand forecasts and you can specify the demand that is allowed for a certain channel.

In addition, all the channel master plans of an item are displayed in a single view and a record containing demand and ATP data from the item master plan is displayed. The Channel field is empty, for this record.

 

Scenario
The scenario for which LN displays the channel master plan.

If the scenario's plan status is Closed, you can no longer modify the data that is related to this scenario.

Plan Item
The plan item for which LN displays the channel master plan.
Channel
A sales or distribution channel used to assign goods to customer groups.

You can link channels to sold-to business partners and to items. Channels can be used in connection with available-to-promise (ATP).

You can assign a certain ATP volume to a channel. This volume limits the ATP for that channel to a maximum.

Period
One of a series of time buckets into which all planning data in a master plan is accumulated.

Plan periods are defined in the context of a scenario.

Plan periods are identified by a period number, and are defined in days, weeks, or months.

Demand Forecast
The item quantity that is forecast to be required in a plan period. A demand forecast can be generated based on seasonal patterns or historical demand data.

The demand forecast is part of the demand plan for a plan item or channel.

Extra Demand
An extra item quantity that is expected to be sold in a plan period, on top of the regular demand forecast.

The extra demand is part of the demand plan for a plan item or channel.

Example

An extra demand can be defined for an unusual large customer order or an extra market demand because of sales promotions.

NonconsumedForecast Quantity
The part of the forecast demand that has not yet been consumed by actual demand.

As a rule, the demand forecast, extra demand, and special demand are gradually filled by actual orders. This process is referred to as consumption of forecast demand by actual demand.

Customer Orders
The sales orders that have not yet been delivered to the customers involved.

The customer orders are part of the actual demand and are used to consume the demand forecast.

Customer Deliveries
The sales order quantities and the sales schedule quantities that have already been delivered to the customers involved.

The customer deliveries are part of the actual demand. These deliveries are used to consume the demand forecast, and to generate a new demand forecast.

Note

This field also contains the distribution deliveries from other sites.

Allowed Demand
The maximum volume that you want to sell to customers in a particular channel. When this maximum is reached in a certain channel ATP period, you accept no more customer orders for that channel.
Cumulative ATP
The total value of the plan item that you can still use in this plan period to fill future customer orders.
