Merchandise Planning - Actual Data & KPIs

0 Kudos
411

Dears,

I have one simple question, from business point of view, when creating a merchandise plan, the actual data for the past period e.g. or the KPIs of last year are necessary, right?

When using CARAB 5.0 (Customer Activity Repository) Merchandise Planning Excel Sheets for planning the regional targets, local retail/e-commerce/wholesale target, and OTB (Open-to-Buy), I have some questions:

1- In the prompt pop-up we are requested to add version 1 and version 2 planning, what is the use of version 2? Is it used to retrieve the referenced last year KPIs?

2- When choosing version 1 to be e.g. M51 and version 2 to be 000 (Actuals), no actuals are retrieved. Should the actuals be retrieved in any of the Excel sheets (Regional targets / local targets/ OTB)?

3- I am able to add the planned figures on the top most level of the article hierarchy but not on the lower nodes, is there a reason for that?

4- The last year (LY) KPIs is retrieved from aDSO /RAP/MPDS0, correct? In this case, how are this aDSO filled with the data of last year? e.g. how shall the data of 2021 be updated in this aDSO when we are in 2022?

Appreciate your time in trying to help me answering the above questions.

Thank you in advance

Best Regards,

Engy
