Location Attributes Hierarchy File

The Location Attributes hierarchy represents attributes associated with locations. These attributes are used to group locations to plan in the Location Clustering.

This hierarchy is intended to capture all location attributes for all locations. The attributes are then assigned to individual locations. This assignment is used when processing the dynamic rollups in the location planning templates.

Name Description

Loc Attribute Value

The various values that an attribute might have. For example, the climate attribute might take the values cold, hot, or humid.

Loc Attribute

The name of a location attribute, such as climate, store volume, and so on.

Note: This hierarchy data needs hard-coded values of two attributes z_grade for Sales Perf Group and z_space for Space Group with hard-coded Loc Attribute values as shown in the Example below that is used by AP Location Clustering, rest of the attributes can be customer data.

Note: This hierarchy data can be imported as part of RAP integration from RMFCS or the customer can also directly provide the location attribute hierarchy with at least one valid data. If the customer is importing Location Attributes data for AP GA, then they need to set to the Integration Environment variable 'SATR_GROUP' to 'Y' in order to include hard-coded Location Attributes used by AP GA during import.
