Hi,

Simple example, I want to forecast for a shoe Product No. 123. Now in addditon to this i need to attach some attributes like color or gender, so these can be treated as Navigational attributes. We create them when we define the characteristic in RSD1.

Regards,

Anil

Hi,

When you define a planning area you can use basic characteristics or navigational attributes.

There are some pros and cons if you use navigational attributes.. In a few words:

- the main pros of using attributes is that you don't have major problems if something change. For example, suppose that you use material group.. if you reclassify all your materials with new material groups, and the material group is a basic characteristic, then you will need to realign the data, but if the material group was managed as a navigational attribute, then you don't have problems, it will be automatically adjustes when the master data is populated.

- the mains cons of using navigational attrubutes are the performance and that there are some limitations in the disagreggation
