Aggregate

CatAggregate
DoCatAggregate

Aggregates the values in the Incremental field in the Promoted Product Baseline list for promotions. For each product that is associated with a given account, the values in the Incremental field are summed up for all existing promotions. Then, the Incremental Qty field for the product in the Product Baseline list in sales volume planning is updated with this summarized value. Then, the summarized value is aggregated up the entire category hierarchy (not up the account hierarchy) in sales volume planning.
