About the SVP Aggregate Action
SVP is the process of modeling projected sales of a product at one or more accounts in a future time period. Companies establish sales volume plans to forecast or plan the quantity of products they expect to sell to these accounts during the SVP period. The SVP Aggregate action models this complex account-category-product-period hierarchy and allows for the allocation and aggregation of data through this hierarchy.
The SVP Aggregate action uses the account-category links that an administrator creates to construct the account-category-product hierarchy, and associates the imported source data with the appropriate SVP nodes. SVP nodes create records that represent the combination of accounts and category-products.
The SVP Aggregate action is an ongoing SVP task. Each time you run the action after the initial Aggregate action, a search is performed down the established account-category-product-period hierarchy structure and any new or missing nodes are created. The data is then reaggregated up through the account-category-product-period hierarchy.
Executing the SVP Aggregate action is a resource-intensive task because the action depends on the complexities of your account-category-product-period hierarchy and your source data set. The appropriate planning of this process is important when using the SVP module.
