Season Profile Table

[To Demand Planning]

Usage

Use this window to create, view, or edit existing season profiles in tabular form. Access this window using the View/Toolbar/Select Season Profile menu option. Use the Season Profile combo box in the Select Season Profile toolbar to create a new season profile or to select an existing profile to edit. Click New to create a new profile. Table values may be entered manually, copied from the system profile, or copied and pasted from another table or spreadsheet.

Note: Once a profile is selected, the whole GUI is set to group mode. All parts that are connected to this profile are aggregated and the profile is displayed in the Season Profile Graph and in the Season Profile Table window. When you are looking at a part/group without a season profile, the table shows a profile suggested by the system.
