2 Mapping Setup Task

The Mapping Setup task is used by the administrator to map weeks for last year and adjusted last year.

The last year mapping is used to identify which week to map to when determining the last year values in a task. The adjusted last year is used to adjust historical sales to accommodate calendar shifts.

The adjusted sales then appear in the Merchandise Planning task templates for reference while planning. This functionality is helpful when events shift from one week to another or when there are different numbers of weeks from one calendar year to another.

The Mapping Setup task contains one step: Last Year and Adjusted Last Year Week Mapping.

Last Year and Adjusted Last Year Week Mapping

The week indicated in the Adj Ly Lag measure is where the performance data is retrieved when you look at Ly data.
