Initializing, Rolling and Updating Scenario
In addition, you can use this session to:
- Aggregate goods-flow data by means of aggregation relationships.
- Recompute the inventory levels and the ATP based on data from the execution level.
If the Master Plan check box in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session is selected, you can also update a multicompany scenario.
LN also updates channel master plans. LN only updates the channel master plans that you specified in the Plan Item - Channels (cpdsp5100m000) session.
This session carries out the following steps:
- Roll the scenario If the scenario is a rolling plan, and a certain number of days passed since the reference date, the plan is shifted forward in time. See Using a rolling scenario.
- Update the master plan LN updates the master plan of each selected plan item. See To update master-plan data.
Note:
- If a scenario is rolled forward, LN updates all plan items, regardless of what range of plan items is specified.
- If you specify a Scenario Finish Date for your scenario that does not match the end of the last plan period, the length of this last plan period is not equal to the plan period length you defined in the Scenario - Periods (cprpd4120m000) session. This leads to disproportionate planning values if you roll the scenario with the Initialize, Roll, and Update Scenario (cprpd4200m000) session.
