CUMs

The application can be used to track CUM Required for Material Releases and Shipping Schedules based on the configuration. The CUM calculations are based on the Previous CUM sent. If the Schedule Type is set to Shipping Schedule, the previous CUM is the quantity specified in the CUM Received field on the Schedules page. If the Schedule Type is set to Material Release, the previous CUM can be the value specified in the CUM Required Prior, CUM Shipped, or CUM Received fields on the Schedules page, based on the configuration.

The methods to send and track CUM data:

• Net-to-CUM The actual required quantity is sent as Demand. The CUM is calculated by adding the net required quantity to the Previous CUM specified in the Demand schedule, and is displayed on the Schedules page.
• CUM-to-Net: The CUM quantity is sent as a demand. The net required quantity is calculated by subtracting the Previous CUM sent in the demand schedule (and previous requirements), and is displayed on the Schedules page.
• Setting CUMs The CUM required quantities can be reset to zero at the Facility level, as part of the tracking process. Additional schedule CUM quantities (Fabrication CUM, Material CUM, and so on) can be specified for a part.
