The MPOS forms part of the definition of a
planning area. The existence of an MPOS is
therefore a prerequisite for being able to create
a planning area.

Generation of CVC is done in MPOS.

CVC are created in MPOS because it is the MPOS that

Storage Bucket Profile
There are two kinds of time bucket profiles: one is used for
storing data (the storage buckets profile),
and the other for planning the data (the planning buckets
profile). A storage buckets profile defines the time buckets
in which data based on a given planning area is saved in
Demand Planning or Supply Network Planning.

Planning Area
Planning areas are the central data structures for Demand Planning and Supply Network Planning.
The planning area is created as part of the Demand Planning/Supply Network Planning setup.
A planning book is based on a planning area. The end user is aware of the planning book, not the
planning area. The liveCache objects in which data is saved are based on the planning area, not the
planning book.

To store data for a planning version, time series must be created for that version.

Consistent Planning Model
Planning Level
Demand Plannings method of aggregation /
disaggregation is referred to as a consistent
planning model.
Planning
Click to edit Master title style
It utilizes the lowest level of actual data to generate
proportional values throughout its planning network
Changing a value anywhere within this planning
network automatically triggers a proportional repropagation throughout the network.

The Key Figure (E.g. Sales) data is disaggregated according to the distribution ratio that the system derives
dynamically from the existing planned data. The proportional factors are not used in this disaggregation type.
In this example, the data is distributed to Kmart and Wal-Mart in DC LA based on the ratio 3:4 (150:200)

The Key Figure (E.g. Sales) data is disaggregated as per the disaggregation type Based on Proportional Factor
Here, Kmart and Wal-Mart in DC-LA have the same proportional factors (0.25), so the data is distributed equally
The proportional factors are percentage-based and held in the key figure APODPDANT which has to be included
when we create the Planning Area.
