Function documentationMerging Transaction Data with Follow-Up Relationships

 

During switchover to the follow-up product, the system merges stocks, consumptions and open order proposals of the follow-up and original products according to the settings in the substitution merge profile.

Prerequisites

You have fulfilled the prerequisites for product substitution in the forecast and requirements calculation.

Features

  • The system uses the following algorithms for merging:

    • Merged consumption (follow-up product) = actual consumption of original product + actual consumption of follow-up product

    • Merged stock (follow-up product) = current stock of original product + current stock of follow-up product

    • Merged open order proposals (follow-up product) = current open order proposals of original product + current open order proposals of follow-up product

      Only for the follow-up product, does the system take into account the current open order proposals of the original and follow-up product within the merge period.

  • During the merge period, the system uses the merge results when planning the follow-up product.
