| # Generate Aggregation Relationships (cprpd3211m000) Use this session to enable LN to automatically generate aggregation relationship between a specific family item and a range of sub-items. Related topics To set up an aggregation structure Aggregation of planning data Disaggregation of planning data Aggregated planning Multisite aggregation Scenario The scenario to which the main item belongs. Family Item The item to/from which LN must aggregate and disaggregate planning data. If you zoom to the Items - Planning session, you can only select items for which you set the Plan Item Type field in that same session to Family. Plan Level The plan level of the main item. The plan level of the sub-item must at least be identical, but is preferrably lower than the plan level of the main item. You must define a plan items plan level in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session. Channel The channel to which the main item belongs. You must first define the main items channel in the Plan Item - Channels (cpdsp5100m000) session. Aggregation Type Select the required aggregation type. Select one of the following options: Aggregate from Sub-Item: LN aggregates planning data from the sub-items to the family item. Disaggregate to Sub-Item: LN disaggregates planning data from the family item to the sub-items. Both: LN both aggregates planning data from the sub-items to the family item, and disaggregates planning data from the family item to the sub-items. Refer to online manual topic Aggregated planning for an example of aggregation types. Percentage Specify the percentage of the planning data that LN must aggregate or disaggregate. If you specify Both in the Aggregation Type field, LN aggregates 100 percent of the planning data, and disaggregates the percentage that you define in the Percentage field. To overrule this type of aggregation, you must define a separate aggregation relationship for disaggregation. In the Aggregation Relationships (cprpd3110m000) session, you can change the percentage for a specific aggregation relationship, or allow LN to calculate the planning percentage. Effectivity Date The date on which the aggregation relationships become valid. You can define more than one aggregation relationship for a main item/sub-item combination. In that case, the aggregation relationships have different various effectivity dates and expiry dates, because the relationships cannot overlap. If the aggregation relationships do overlap, LN gives a warning. You can change the effectivity and the expiry date in the Aggregation Relationships (cprpd3110m000) session. Sub Scenario The scenario to which the sub-plan items belong. Specify the same scenario as you selected in the Scenario field, if the main item and the sub-items belong to the same scenario, otherwise enter a different scenario. Note You cannot use this session to generate aggregation relationships between plan items in different logistical companies. You can only do so if you set up aggregation relationships manually in the Aggregation Relationships (cprpd3110m000) session. From Plan Item Specify the first of a range of sub-plan-items that LN must use to generate aggregation relationships. Note You must first define the item in the Items - Planning session. To Plan Item Specify the last of a range of sub-plan-items that LN must use to generate aggregation relationships. Note You must first define the item in the Items - Planning session. From Channel Specify the first of a range of channels to which the sub-plan-items must belong for which LN generates aggregation relationships. You must first define the sub-items channel in the Plan Item - Channels (cpdsp5100m000) session. To Channel Specify the last of a range of channels to which the sub-plan-items must belong for which LN generates aggregation relationships. You must first define the sub-items channel in the Plan Item - Channels (cpdsp5100m000) session. Plan Level The plan level of the sub-items. The plan level of the sub-items must at least be identical to the plan level of the main item, but the level is preferrably lower. You must define a plan items plan level in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session. Generate Click this button to generate aggregation relationships. |
