Aggregation of planning data

Use the Aggregate Channel, Plans & Orders (cprmp2250m000) session to aggregate planning data according to the aggregation relationships defined in the Aggregation Relationships (cprpd3110m000) session.

For aggregation, the parent item needs to have an item master plan.

In the Aggregate Channel, Plans & Orders (cprmp2250m000) session, you can aggregate the following types of planning data:

• Demand forecast
• Extra demand
• Inventory plan
• Production plan
• Purchase plan

Aggregation from channel master plans to item master plan

If you want to aggregate data from one or more channel master plans to the corresponding item master plan, you need not define aggregation relationships for this. You can use the Aggregate Channel to Item Master Plan (cpdsp5210m000) session to carry out this type of aggregation directly.

Aggregation of goods-flow data

For a plan item with Family item type, LN automatically aggregates the goods-flow data of the child items. To do so, you must first define an appropriate aggregation relationship, and run the Initialize, Roll, and Update Scenario (cprpd4200m000) session, with the Update Goods Flow Data check box selected. LN updates the goods fow in the following three situations:

• Before LN generates the master planning of a family item.
• Before LN runs the Initialize, Roll, and Update Scenario (cprpd4200m000) session.
• If you click Update in the item master plan of a family item.
