Copy Scenario (cprpd4201m000)

Use this session to copy data from one scenario to another. On the Scenario tab, you can select which scenario-specific data you want to copy to the target scenario, and on the Item tab you can choose the item-related data that LN must copy to the target scenario.

Note: 
  • The target scenario must already have been defined. You can only copy the data pertaining to a scenario, not the scenario itself.

If you select the Overwrite check box, LN overwrites the target scenario's existing data. If you clear this check box, LN adds the data from the source scenario to the target scenario's data. If a particular entry already exists in the target scenario, it is not overwritten.

Note: 
  • If you copy plan periods, the existing plan-period definition in the target scenario is always overwritten.
  • If the Overwrite check box is cleared, and you copy special demand or planned orders, this data is always copied to the target scenario. In this case, the sequence numbers used for this data in the source scenario and the target scenario are not necessarily the same.

Field Information

Scenario

The scenario from which the data is copied.

Scenario

The scenario to which the data is copied.

This target scenario must have been defined previously. You can only copy the data contained in a scenario, not the scenario itself.

The plan status of the target scenario must be Open.

Overwrite

If this check box is selected, LN deletes the existing data of each selected type in the target scenario.

If this check box is cleared, LN adds the data from the source scenario to the data of the target scenario. If a particular entry already exists in the target scenario, it is not overwritten.

Note: 
  • If you copy plan periods, the existing plan-period definition in the target scenario is always overwritten.
  • If the Overwrite check box is cleared, and you copy special demand or planned orders, this data is always copied to the target scenario. In this case, the sequence numbers used for this data in the source scenario and the target scenario are not necessarily the same.
Scenario - Periods

If this check box is selected, LN copies the plan-period definition of the source scenario to the target scenario.

LN overwrites the old plan-period definition, regardless of the value of the Overwrite check box. The new plan periods will be effective after you initialize the scenario by means of the Initialize, Roll, and Update Scenario (cprpd4200m000) session.

Scenario - Companies

If this check box is selected, LN copies the plan companies of the source scenario that you defined in the Multicompany Scenarios (cprpd4140m000) session to the target scenario, if the source scenario is a multicompany plan.

Availabilities

If this check box is selected, LN copies the availability data from the Scenario - Overrule Calendar (cprpd4160m000) session to the target scenario.

Workload Control Parameters

If this check box is selected, LN copies the workload-control parameters from the source scenario to the target scenario.

Item Master Plan

If this check box is selected, LN copies the item master plans and, if applicable, the channel master plans for the selected range of items and channels to the target scenario.

Special Demand

If this check box is selected, LN copies the special demand for the selected range of items and channels to the target scenario.

Supply Strategies

If this check box is selected, LN copies the supply strategies for the selected range of items to the target scenario.

Planned Orders

If this check box is selected, LN copies the planned orders for the selected range of items to the target scenario.

Sourcing Strategies

If this check box is selected, LN copies the sourcing strategies for the selected range of items to the target scenario.
