Aggregates and Planning Objects 
Aggregates are a subset of characteristics defined in the master planning object structure.
The valid characteristic combinations for these aggregates are called SNP planning objects. SNP planning objects are generated automatically from APO master data by SNP master data update processes. For example, a specific location product is an SNP planning object of aggregate 9AMALO, or a specific lane together with a product assigned to it is a planning object of aggregate 9AMALA.
In case of Supply Network Planning, the delivered list of characteristics cannot be changed. Consequently, there is a predefined list of standard aggregates that cannot be changed either. This list defines the master data combinations that can be used by SNP planning processes.
The table below lists the aggregates that can be used with master planning object structure 9ASNPBAS.
