Display base and aggregate periods in a plansheet

Plansheets now support extended syntax for displaying aggregate (sum) periods and base periods in the same view. The rv_period_passed parameter now supports optional aggregation, when prefixed with *, and an optional range size supporting multiple range selections that are comma-separated.

For example, to sum all periods in the horizon and thereafter display all individual periods in the horizon:

  • rv_period_passed = *, [#1]+%app_var_sp_sco_cycle_horizon%

The SCO plan horizon is set bythe sp_sco_cycle_horizon application variable.

This is an enhancement to the Supply Planning optimization platform supporting improved standard content. This enhancement allows modelers to enrich standard models with customer extensions and improve visualization for custom Supply optimization models. Overall, providing a enhanced user experience for all planners reviewing the plan.

The standard content for Supply Chain Optimization (apsco.zip) and Forecast Consumption are not updated to utilize this feature in this release, thus all standard plansheets maintain existing behavior.

Note: By default this feature is enabled. Modelers can begin to use this feature by adding plansheet parameter overrides. A new role or privilege is not required to access this feature. This feature is available to the users with existing permissions to modify the plansheet configuration.
