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.
