To maintain a channel master plan

If you maintain an item master plan for a plan item, you can also maintain a channel master plan for each item/channel combination.

How to set up a channel master plan

Once you have set up items, business partners, and channels (see Channels in Enterprise Planning, you can prepare a channel master plan by using the following procedure:

  • Define specific item/channel combinations in the Plan Item - Channels (cpdsp5100m000) session.
  • Run the Initialize, Roll, and Update Scenario (cprpd4200m000) session, select the item and channel, and select the Generate Item/Channel Master Plan check box.
  • If you want to use channel ATP, enter the allowed demand in the Channel Master Plan (cpdsp5130m000) session.
Note

If you primarily use channels for channel ATP, you need not necessarily group all your customers into channels. Only those customers for which you want to limit the maximum sales volume need be in a channel.

Views

For a channel master plan, two different views are available:

  • The Channel Master Plan (cpdsp5130m000) session displays the channel master plan of one particular item/channel combination, in a way comparable to the item master plan.
  • The Channel Master Plan (cpdsp5130m000) session displays all channel master plans available for a particular item for one plan period. The corresponding data in the item master plan is also displayed.
How to delete a channel master plan

You can use the Delete Master Plan (cprmp2210m000) session to delete channel master plans.
