[ Guiding principles
Master data in ECC and APO to match
Master data in ECC to be the source
Planner will make conscious decision before updating
CVC
Planner will use discretion on if new CVC needs to be
created for new distribution
Given complexity of CVC structure, we didnt want CVCs
created from scratch. We want the system to recommend
based on inputs.
CVCs that are generated from the shipment history would
be accepted.
