Generating Baseline Basis Quantities for New Products
For new products, you can copy baseline shipment or consumption data from a similar existing product as the source for generating a baseline basis. After determining the source of the baseline basis; for example, historical shipments of a similar product, you copy these records to the new product's baseline basis quantity. To generate a baseline basis quantity for a new product
- Navigate to the Administration - Sales Volume Planning screen.
- Click the Copy Actions view tab.
- In the Copy Actions form, create a new record.
- From the Action field drop-down list, select Copy Product.
NOTE: If you want to copy information between products, the products must be part of the same account. If products are part of the same account hierarchy but at different level accounts, product information cannot be copied from an existing product to a new product.
- Select the Apply ADL check box if you want to create records for only the accounts that have already been added to the new products ADL:
- Click Execute Action.
In the SVP Action list, the status of Pending appears in the Status field. After the fields are copied, the Status field changes to Complete and a dialog box appears, confirming that the action was successful. On the Sales Volume Planning screen, the Basis Quantity field in the Category Baseline list is now filled in for this new product.
