Additional Information About Orchestrate Refresh Measures Processes

Here’s some additional information about the Orchestrate Refresh Measures Processes scheduled process:

• You can schedule the Orchestrate Refresh Measures Processes scheduled process to refresh collected measure data for one time or on a repetitive schedule from the Scheduled Processes work area. You can configure a job set that contains the Orchestrate Refresh Measures Processes scheduled process after the Load Planning Data from Flat Files scheduled process to sequence and automate these planning processes.
• When copying a plan, you get the following options:
  • Copy plan options only
  • Copy plan with reference to the base plan
  • Copy plan with no reference to the base plan

  If the copied plan was created using the second option (Copy plan with reference to the base plan), then it doesn't support the Refresh Collected Measure Data capability. Such plans don't appear in the Plan field of the Orchestrate Refresh Measures Processes scheduled process.

• The Orchestrate Refresh Measures Processes scheduled process considers the measure data uploaded using file-based data import (FBDI) templates, including planning measures and demand history. The scheduled process doesn't consider transactional data such as sales orders, price changes, or new items and organizations that aren't already included in a plan. For supply plans, measure data loaded using the Supply Chain Planning External Forecasts import template can't be refreshed.
• If you've defined a measure with the Refresh with current data option on the Properties subtab on the Advanced tab in the Create Measure dialog box, after you add the measure to a plan, you must first run the plan to refresh it with the current data before you can refresh that measure's data using this scheduled process.
  Note: Run your plan after a release upgrade before using this scheduled process.
• You need to include both the Shipments History (or Bookings History) measure and the default measure used to refresh shipments history in your measure catalog. For example, if the default measure used for the Default Shipments History Measure profile option is Shipments History: Requested Item by Shipped Date, then include both this measure and the Shipments History measure in the measure catalog used to refresh your plan.
• You can't use the Orchestrate Refresh Measures Processes scheduled process to refresh the measures in a demand plan that has a planning level profile. Such plans aren't available for selection in the Plan field for the scheduled process.
