Grouping functionality in XYZ profile- SAP IBP

[newibp]

Hi All,

In ABC segmentation profile, we have a functionality to group the attributes and the system follows it correctly, but the same grouping functionality is unavailable in XYZ segmentation profile. Any global parameter which I am missing to enable it or SAP does not provide it in XYZ ?

Hi Bibhu,

ABC segmentation is performed across multiple product or product characteristics (for e.g., multiple PLC combinations if ABC code is modeled in Customer Source MDT) hence grouping could be required, whereas XYZ is performed on only specific individual product or a dimension, hence grouping is not warranted. Is there any specific business scenario for which grouping is required in XYZ analysis?

Regards,
