| aggregate (SCM-APO-FCS) |
An APO aggregate contains a subset of the characteristics in the master planning object structure.
The creation and use of aggregates is optional. The data is always saved on the lowest level of detail. If aggregates exist, the system saves the planning data on the defined aggregate levels as well as on the lowest level of detail. The data is saved twice, but consistently; that is, the sum of the details equals the aggregate value.
