| # Channel Master Plan (cpdsp5130m000) Use this session to maintain a channel master plan and to view and maintain demand and ATP data for an item and its channels. You can initialize channel master plans in the Initialize, Roll, and Update Scenario (cprpd4200m000) session, by selecting the Generate Item/Channel Master Plan check box. The channel master plan allows you to control the sales and forecasting of demand that comes from a specific channel. By using this session, you can set demand forecasts and you can specify the demand that is allowed for a certain channel. In addition, all the channel master plans of an item are displayed in a single view and a record containing demand and ATP data from the item master plan is displayed. The Channel field is empty, for this record. Related topics Channels in Enterprise Planning To update master-plan data Scenario The scenario for which LN displays the channel master plan. If the scenario's plan status is Closed, you can no longer modify the data that is related to this scenario. Related topics Scenarios in Enterprise Planning Plan Item The plan item for which LN displays the channel master plan. Channel A sales or distribution channel used to assign goods to customer groups. You can link channels to sold-to business partners and to items. Channels can be used in connection with available-to-promise (ATP). You can assign a certain ATP volume to a channel. This volume limits the ATP for that channel to a maximum. Related topics Channels in Enterprise Planning Period One of a series of time buckets into which all planning data in a master plan is accumulated. Plan periods are defined in the context of a scenario. Plan periods are identified by a period number, and are defined in days, weeks, or months. Demand Forecast The item quantity that is forecast to be required in a plan period. A demand forecast can be generated based on seasonal patterns or historical demand data. The demand forecast is part of the demand plan for a plan item or channel. Related topics Demand forecasting in Enterprise Planning Extra Demand An extra item quantity that is expected to be sold in a plan period, on top of the regular demand forecast. The extra demand is part of the demand plan for a plan item or channel.

Related topics Demand forecasting in Enterprise Planning Nonconsumed Forecast The part of the forecast demand that has not yet been consumed by actual demand.

Related topics Forecast Consumption with an Item Master Plan Forecast Consumption without an Item Master Plan Customer Orders The sales orders that have not yet been delivered to the customers involved. The customer orders are part of the actual demand and are used to consume the demand forecast. Customer Deliveries The sales order quantities and the sales schedule quantities that have already been delivered to the customers involved. The customer deliveries are part of the actual demand. These deliveries are used to consume the demand forecast, and to generate a new demand forecast. Note This field also contains the distribution deliveries from other sites. Related topics To update goods-flow data Allowed Demand The maximum volume that you want to sell to customers in a particular channel. When this maximum is reached in a certain channel ATP period, you accept no more customer orders for that channel.
