MFP Setup is part of the MFP Maintenance Activity. In MFP Setup, the administrator will maintain basic application settings related to the planning calendar, local currency, and VAT.
The steps within the MFP Setup Task:
The History Mapping step is used by the administrator to map the weeks for last year and last last year (two years ago).
The History Mappings step contains one view, History Mapping.
Within this view, you can set the mappings for the last year and the last last year. The last year's mapping is used to identify which week to map to when determining last year's values in a workbook. The last last year is used to identify which week to map to when determining the prior values from the past two years in a workbook.
Table 4-1 History Mapping View Measures
Measure | Description |
---|---|
Lag Ly |
Identifies the week used for mapping as adjusted last year. |
Lag Lly |
Identifies the week that is being used for mapping as last last year (two years ago). |
Week ID |
Identifies the internal week position for the current week for reference. This is useful for copying week positions when manually setting Lag Ly and Lag Lly. |
The Local Currency step provides support for administering the local currency configuration. This view is only available when the provision option with local currency is implemented.
The Local Currency step contains two views:
Within this view, you set the local currency conversion rate for each Channel by Week. The conversion rate is set in relation to the sales currency, often the corporate currency.
Within this view, the planning administrator sets the local currency symbol for each channel. This currency symbol can be included as the Location attribute in all Local Currency views.
For example, in Figure 4-3 the BRA Brick & Mortar channel has R$ as its local currency symbol, which indicates that local currency values for this channel are in Brazilian Real. All local currency BRA Brick & Mortar monetary values are displayed with R$.
The VAT Setup step allows a planning administrator to enter the Value Added Tax (VAT) rate for each subclass by week.
The VAT Setup step contains a single view, VAT Setup.
In this view, the planning administrator inputs the VAT% (sales) and VAT C % (cost rate).
When planning sales retail, the VAT% rate is applied to gross sales and then returns are subtracted to calculate net sales. If no VAT% rate is planned, then net sales are simply determined as gross sales less returns.
VAT Rate% is stored at Week/Subclass/Channel.
Table 4-4 VAT Setup View Measures
Measure | Description |
---|---|
VAT% |
The default Value Added Tax (VAT) rate percentage applied to sales. This value should be set if there are taxes that are applied to the sale of goods. |
VAT C % |
The Value Added Tax rate percentage for the cost of goods. This value should be set if there are taxes that are applied on the purchase of goods. |
The Manage Batch step provides the ability to control the integration source for merchandise foundation data, as well as which periods and positions are included when plans are exported. The values set in this step are employed in batch (along with corresponding Approved/Submitted/Seeded Info measures) to set export flags for all the plan versions that are exportable from MFP Retail Cloud Service:
Merch Plan Current Plan (MP Cp)
Merch Plan Original Plan (MP Op)
Merch Plan Waiting for Approval Plan (MP Wa)
Merch Plan Working Plan (MP Wp)
Location Plan Current Plan (LP Cp)
Location Plan Original Plan (LP Op)
Location Plan Working Plan (LP Wp)
Merch Targets Target (MT Tgt)
Merch Targets Working Plan (MT Wp)
Location Targets Target (LT Tgt)
Location Targets Working Plan (LT Wp)
The planner or administrator indicates whether elapsed periods should be included and which positions should be exported in the following two views:
Within this view, the business system administrator or system administrator designates whether or not elapsed periods should be included when exporting plan data. The system administrator will also designate whether or not Oracle Retail Merchandising Foundation Cloud Service is integrated with MFP CS.
Table 4-5 Manage Batch View Measures
Measure | Description |
---|---|
Enable RMF CS Integration |
This flag controls whether or not additional batch processes run to format RMF CS data into load-ready format. Set this value to True when integrating with RMF CS. |
Export Elapsed Periods |
When selected, this flag indicates that data for the elapsed periods must be exported. By default, this value is unchecked, meaning that only data for unelapsed periods will be included in the exported plan data. |
Within this view, the planning administrator selects the positions that will be included when exporting plan data for all versions.
Table 4-6 Manage Export View Measure
Measure | Description |
---|---|
Export Mask |
Allows the user to control which positions are exported for all plan versions. When selected, the Department/Channel/Half is included when exporting plan data. By default, this Boolean is checked for all positions. If the user wants to exclude any Department/Channel/Half from exporting, the user must un-check this Boolean. |
The export flags are set based on Export Mask and Approved or Submitted Info for Approved or Submitted Plans and Seeded Info for Working Plans.
