Aggregated Orders and Shipments

The demand planning engine runs periodically and creates forecasts based on known orders and shipments at that point in time, but new orders and shipments can be loaded into the system at any time. This makes it very difficult to reproduce a forecast and troubleshoot which orders and shipments were used to create a given forecast. To remedy this, users can aggregate orders and shipments, similar to a snapshot, and then perform operations on the aggregation. Users can also create and manage overrides against aggregated shipments; an override allows customers to override a quantity on an order or shipment for any reason. The following options are available to manage aggregated orders and shipments:

• Searching Aggregated Orders

• Uploading Aggregated Orders

• Creating Aggregated Order User Overrides

• Searching Aggregated Order User Overrides

• Searching Aggregated Shipments

• Uploading Aggregated Shipments

• Creating Aggregated Shipment User Overrides
