6 Enable Op Approval Task

The MFP Maintenance activity consists of the following tasks:

  • MFP Setup

  • Location Setup

  • Enable Op Approval

  • Load Validate

Planning administrators use this workbook to enable Merch Plan and Location Plan users to submit and approve plans to the Original Plan (Op). As a planning administrator, you can select or deselect this option at any time. If you deselect it during the in-season, Merch Plan and Location Plan users cannot submit or approve a plan for the Op. You can choose to do this after the planning process has been finalized in order to lock down the Op.

Merch Plan Step

In this step, you manipulate the Planners' ability to submit a plan for approval. Typically, this is enabled, allowing for submissions, until shortly before the period becomes in-season.

Select the weeks by department that you want to enable Planners to submit and approve plans to the original plan. Once you are satisfied with the setting updates you have made, commit the workbook in order to retain your changes.
