         <Paragraph>If you want to
        aggregate data from one or more <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000020" role="glossary">channel master plans</Link> to the corresponding <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000019" role="glossary">item master plan</Link>, you do not need to define aggregation relationships for
        this. You can use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/dsp/cpdsp5210m000" role="session">Aggregate Channel to Item Master Plan (cpdsp5210m000)</GUIRef> session to carry out this type of
        aggregation directly.</Paragraph>
