This page enables you to control how, for a given customer, its demand is disaggregated to the locations which serve it.

Before you start

Use the context selectors at the top-right to select a customer and scenario combination. Additionally, you can manually enter the required values using the search function.

The Planning Status indicates if the inventory plan is open or closed for editing.

Planned Customer to DC Disaggregation

This stacked chart shows the disaggregation of percentages over time. This allows you to track the disaggregation percentage of customer demand to various distribution centers where the customer is being served.

Note: Use legends to view information for any specific customer. Select or deselect a legend to show or hide its details in the chart.

Override Customer to DC Disaggregation

This table allows you to override the default disaggregation calculations. When a location's disaggregation percentage is changed, the percentage difference is split across other locations. This ensures that the rebalanced disaggregation total is 100% across all locations.

Note: 

  • You can override values in the table. If there is no Override (%) but the Effective Override (%) has a value, then that'll be the result of the persistency parameter.
  • Rebalanced Disaggregation (%) should always total 100%.

The Products with Validation Errors card displays number of any product validation errors for the selected customer.

Parameters

The parameters are shown in the Effective Parameters card. You can configure the parameters in the Edit Parameters card. When you update parameters, the new values are shown in the Effective Parameters card, and are applied globally.

You can input values for customer to-location DC disaggregation calculations in Edit Parameters. 

ParameterDescription
Disaggregation basis

Default process for establishing the disaggregation percentages.

  • History Time Range: Uses historic shipment data to determine which distribution centers have shipped to the customer.
  • Fixed Disaggregation: Manual entry of the disaggregation percentages.
  • Even Split: Evenly spread across all distribution centers that are available to the customer.
Disaggregation Time rangeNumber of past periods to analyze to determine profile of historic shipments. It's only required when Disaggregation Basis is set to History Time Range.
Disaggregation Calculation Logic

Historic shipment percentages are calculated at the:

  • Customer level: Distribution centers that have shipped to the customer.
  • Customer x Product level: Distribution centers that have shipped the product to the customer.
Minimum Allowable %

A minimum threshold, below which any calculated percentages are ignored. It prevents any small percentages from being calculated due to one-off past shipment activity.  

This parameter applies to the percentages calculated using the History Time Range disaggregation basis. Percentages below the threshold arising from overrides are allowed.
