Pre and post processing steps added to standard system macros
System macros are extended to include calls to a pre-step system macro definition prior
to all standard macros steps and a post-step system macro definition after all standard macro
steps. Customers can optionally extend standard macro calls to include additional pre and post
processing without the need to customize or duplicate these standard macro
definitions.
This applies to Supply Planning, Forecast Consumption, and SCO with Planning Engine.
The calls use an application variable to set the prefix for customer-specific macros:
- app_var_customer_prefix (Prefix for Customer specific content)
If the macros included in these calls are not defined, the step is not considered, without warning or error to the calling macro.
Note:
- This feature is available for system macros in each supply planning application after loading the corresponding functional template (apsco.zip, forecastconsumption.zip & spls.zip) for this release.
- You are not required a new role or privilege access to use this feature.
