Understanding Cumulative Records

Typically, cumulative information is entered automatically into the system from EDI messages by the Inbound Demand Edit/Update batch program (R47171). However, you can use the CUM Maintenance program (P40R12) to review and manually adjust cumulative records. You can enter missing information, update information, add attachments, and so forth. The system automatically writes cumulative record changes to the F40R42 table.

You can revise these types of information:

• Cumulative shipped for the customer and supplier.

• Firm cumulative required, or the quantity required by a customer that results in a sales order.

• Planned cumulative required, or the quantity that results in a forecast record.

• Quantity that the customer received.

• Fabrication cumulative quantity, or the quantity of parts that a supplier is authorized to produce.

• Material cumulative quantity, or the quantity of raw materials that the supplier is authorized to purchase for manufacturing the finished goods.

• Cumulative rollback information.

• Cumulative shipped net adjustment information.

• Attachments.

  You can add two types of attachments to cumulative records. One attachment can be linked to the cumulative record and one to the history record.

You can set the processing options to specify whether to allow values to be entered in the various fields on the tabs on the CUM Revisions form.
