| Generate Aggregation Relationships (cprpd3211m000) |  |
| Use this session to enable ERP LN to automatically generate aggregation relationship between a specific family item and a range of sub-items. You can use this session if the familiy structure of the item for which you want to define the aggregation relationships is rather extensive. Rather than define the aggregation relationships manually and one-by-one in the Aggregation Relationships (cprpd3110m000) session, ERP LN can generate these relationships in one action. By default, the aggregation relationship that ERP LN generates, apply the following planning data: Production plans, production orders, and planned production receipts. Purchase plans, purchase orders, and planned purchase receipts. Inventory plan. Distribution orders and receipts. Demand forecast. Extra demand. If you open the Aggregation Relationships (cprpd3110m000) details session for an aggregation relationship that ERP LN generated, the check boxes in the Aggregation Data group are all selected, but you can still fine-tune the default settings. ERP LN can generate aggregation relationships between the following item types:
FROM | TO
normal plan item | family item
channel item | normal plan item
family item | family item
channel item | family item
channel item | channel family item
channel family item | channel family item

Fields | Description
Scenario | The scenario to which the main item belongs.
Family Item | The item to/from which ERP LN must aggregate and disaggregate planning data. If you zoom to the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) 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: ERP LN aggregates planning data from the sub-items to the family item. Disaggregate to Sub-Item: ERP LN disaggregates planning data from the family item to the sub-items. Both: ERP 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 ERP LN must aggregate or disaggregate. If you specify Both in the Aggregation Type field, ERP 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 ERP 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, ERP 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 ERP LN must use to generate aggregation relationships. Note You must first define the item in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session.
To Plan Item | Specify the last of a range of sub-plan-items that ERP LN must use to generate aggregation relationships. Note You must first define the item in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session.
From Channel | Specify the first of a range of channels to which the sub-plan-items must belong for which ERP 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 ERP 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.
