3 MFP Setup Task
MFP Setup is part of the MFP Maintenance Activity. In MFP Setup, the administrator will maintain basic application settings related to the planning calendar, and local currency.
The steps within the MFP Setup Task:
-
History Mapping Step
-
Local Currency Step
-
Batch Setup Step
History Mapping Step
The History Mapping step is used by the administrator to map the weeks for last year and last last year (two years ago).
The History Mappings step contains one view, History Mapping.
History Mapping View
When a new calendar year is loaded, these values are automatically populated for the new year by the weekly batch. Use this view to make any updates needed in week mapping to most accurately account for moving holidays, promotions, and also to set up 52 to 53 week mappings.
The last year’s (Ly) mapping is used to identify which week to map to in order to Seed from Ly, and review Ly values in a workspace.
The last last year (Lly) is used to identify which week to map to for reviewing history from two years prior in a workspace.
Note
A week can be mapped to more than one Ly or Lly week to account for 53 week years. Separate weeks with a comma. If more than one week needs to be assigned, then those week positions should be separated with a space. Those week positions data will then be aggregated.
- Location Targets Working Plan (LT Wp)
The planner or administrator indicates whether elapsed periods should be included and which positions should be exported in the following three views:
-
Batch Setup View
-
Export Setup View
-
LPO Export Setup View
Batch Setup View
Within this view, the business system administrator or system administrator designates whether or not elapsed periods should be included when exporting plan data. The system administrator will also designate whether or not Oracle Retail Merchandising Foundation Cloud Service is integrated with MFPCS.
Table 3-4 Batch Setup View Measures
| Measure | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable RMF CS Integration | This flag controls whether or not additional batch processes run to format RMF CS data into load-ready format. Set this value to True when integrating with RMF CS. |
| Export Elapsed Periods | When selected, this flag indicates that data for the elapsed periods must be exported. By default, this value is unchecked, meaning that only data for unelapsed periods will be included in the exported plan data. |
| Batch Uses RDX | This setting is enabled for all the integration from RDX. |
| Enable Daily Exports | If you have extended the MFP solution, this flag enables you to turn off the standard daily exports in favor of your solution-specific configured exports. |
