Weekly Batch Calc (calc_week)

This batch calc set is used to run all required batch process calculations to do the necessary data aggregation and inventory roll operations after the weekly data load. It internally runs the batch rule groups Batch_RMS_G, Batch_RMS_L, Batch_GB, Batch_WH_Init, Batch_AggW, and Batch_InvRoll.

This allows the users to see actualized data for the current elapsed week such as sales, markdowns, and receipts as well as inventory for both current and recalculated for future periods. This also allows users to see a sales forecast based on actuals that have been loaded and apply the trend to go forward weeks.

This process runs as part of a Weekly Batch. This task may be also scheduled if a retailer has data issues and needs to reload corrected actual data files in the middle of week and reprocess the week batch calculation.

Batch_RMS* rulegroups are used to transfer data from RMS Integration specific measures to internal measures. Batch_GB sets the elapsed measures and runs domain calcs for the Location Target measures. Batch_WH_Init initializes calcs for Warehouse specific measures. Batch_AggW copies all loaded actuals into the WP and CP versions for the elapsed periods. Batch_InvRoll rolls forward the new EOP of the elapsed periods to the future BOP and EOP for both the WP and CP versions.
