Synchronizing CUMs based on external component data

If an external component communicates schedule requirements to LN and you want the cumulatives to be synchronized and reset based on the cumulative data received from the external component, select the Synchronize Cums check box in the Schedule Terms and Conditions (tctrm1131m000) session.

Note

If the Synchronize Cums check box is cleared, cumulatives are updated based on an order based or receipt based cumulative model, as defined in the CUM Model used field of the Sales Contract Line Logistic Data (tdsls3102m000) session. For more information, refer to Synchronizing CUMs based on cumulative model.

Comparing and synchronizing cumulative data

If you agreed to synchronize CUMs, the external component provides the Cumulative Shipped Quantity and Last Shipment when sending a new sales release line in the Sales Release Lines (tdsls3508m000) session. When the sales release is processed into a sales schedule (revision), your shipped cumulatives are compared and synchronized with the shipped cumulatives received from the external component.

The cumulative data is compared based on these fields:

  • Cumulative Shipped Quantity
  • Last Shipment
  • Schedule
Note
  • If more than one shipped cumulative record is found with the same shipment number, the shipped CUM record with the latest Transaction Date is used for comparison.
  • If no shipped cumulative record can be found for the sales release line’s Last Shipment, LN warns that the cumulatives will not be synchronized, but that you can continue processing the sales release.
Synchronizing shipped cumulatives

After a shipped cumulative record is found, the following can be applicable:

  • The sales release line's Cumulative Shipped Quantity is equal to your Cumulative Shipped Quantity. Therefore, the shipped cumulative record is set to Matched in the Shipped CUM (tdsls3532m000) session. All preceding records with the Created status are updated to Matched (no feedback).
  • The sales release line's Cumulative Shipped Quantity is higher or lower than your Cumulative Shipped Quantity. Therefore, your shipped CUM is adjusted with a correction value to equal the external component's shipped CUM. This shipped cumulative record receives the Synchronize status. All preceding records with the Created status are updated to Matched.
Example

-DJ0001-25DJ0001ZZZ-31 JuneCreated1030
-DJ0001-50DJ0001VVV-41 JulyCreated2555

 

For the cumulative record with the Synchronize status, the following is applicable:

  • Correction value = Sales Release Lines (tdsls3508m000) session's shipped CUM – Shipped CUM (tdsls3532m000) session's shipped CUM.
  • Shipped quantity = correction value.
  • New shipped CUM = old shipped CUM + correction value.
Resetting cumulatives

After a shipped cumulative record is found, the Customer CUMs Reset Date in the Sales Release Lines (tdsls3508m000) session can differ from the Cumulative Reset Date in the Shipped CUM (tdsls3532m000) session.

The following can be applicable:

  • The sales release line's Customer CUMs Reset Date is earlier than your Cumulative Reset Date. LN warns that the cumulatives will not be reset, but that you can continue processing the sales release.
  • The sales release line's Customer CUMs Reset Date is later than your Cumulative Reset Date.

    In this case, sales schedule cumulatives are reset in the following sessions:

    • Shipped CUM (tdsls3532m000)
    • Invoiced CUM (tdsls3533m000)
    • FAB/RAW Authorizations (tdsls3134m000)
    These cumulative records receive the Reset status.
Note
  • Based on the Transaction Date in the Shipped CUM (tdsls3532m000) session, LN determines the applicable invoiced cumulative record and authorization record.
  • You cannot manually reset cumulatives in the Reset Cumulatives (tdsls3230m000) session.
Calculating the reset quantity

Before cumulatives can be reset, a reset quantity must be calculated.

This quantity is calculated as follows:

Cumulative Shipped Quantity from Shipped CUM (tdsls3532m000) - Cumulative Shipped Quantity from Sales Release Lines (tdsls3508m000)
Example
Sales Release Lines (tdsls3508m000)
ScheduleYYYYY1
Last ShipmentXXXXX1
Shipped CUM80
Customer Reset Date10/10/10
