Calendar Days(Sun, Mon..) in IBP Attributes and KF Calculations

[riyazahmed_ca2]

Dears,

We want to use our S&OP model setup with respect to Week Days for certain functionality. Any idea or insight with respect to this would be very helpful to achieve this in any mean.

Alternatively, Can we have custom attributes in the time periods to hold the weekdays. Please confirm.

Best Regards,

Riyaz

Hello Riyaz

By default IBP time profile contains time based attributes like WEEKWEIGHT, MONTHWEIGHT etc. This attributes are used in KF where you want the values to be dissagged based on the weitghtage maintained in those attributes. If a MTH has 5 TWK then value of 5 is represented in the WEEKWEIGHT attriibute.

But we can also define any custom weightage for time split if thier are any specific business requirement. For example 1 common use of such scenario is creating custom time profile based on 445 retail calendar or for fiscal period based calender. So yes you can have custom attributes in your time profile

Only thing that you need to keep in mind is, anything that you define custom is time profiles cant be generated using the time period generation program in IBP. Ideally for such cases you either create a very long time profile horizon and generate those custom range in excel or outside IBP and then load it. Or you need to make sure that you keep on updating your custom TP with extended hozizon objects generated and never to use the standard program to generate time periods.
