Rename Placeholder Items (batch_ph_rn)
APCS allows customers to use DPM without using the RMF CS Webservice for Reserving Item/Style positions. If the customer is not planning to use RMFCS and have their own system for the Item Master solution, then any DPM positions for Item, Style-Color, and Style in the product hierarchy needs to be renamed first with the actual position ids from the Item Master system before it can be formalized through the regular hierarchy load process.
This process allows customers to rename the positions. It first loads the rename mapping files for Item, Style-Color, and Style if the customer uploaded those or they can set the same directly for DPM positions in the Planning Admin setup. This process renames those positions only if those are DPM positions that are not formalized. This process runs as part of weekly batch before hierarchy load process if RMF CS Web Service Integration is not enabled.
