APO DP disaggregation

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

Of the both disaggregation types the structural disaggregation( as a example region as a aggregation level and customer/dc etc as the detailed level using calculation type) and the time-based disaggregation, which one happens first..

Please share your ideas.

Hi,

Does it make any difference the sequence of dis aggregation?

Hi,

You can perform any of the dis-aggregation type (time or characteristic), but have to define the settings accordingly.

Hi,

As such there is no sequence in between Time-Based and Characteristic-Based dis-aggregation.

This depends on the business needs that Dis-aggregation of the planning data should be done on the bases of characteristics (like product brand or sales region) or it should be dis-aggregated with respect to time level ( say month wise data dis-aggregated to weeks). This is done at KF level and is defined at the time of PA creation.

Anyone can be used first or both can be used.

Thanks
