89.0. "field comparison" by CINEMX::PATTENDEN (BARBARA PATTENDEN DTN 276-9713) Tue Nov 08 1988 15:38

    It would be helpful in comparing the data between the DEC 10 and
    the new system, if I could have a comparison of the fields.

    These are the fields that I am not sure of.
    
    District Code  -  should I use the default?
    Planning Group -            "
    Revenue        -  I use the default for SHIPS minus Non-revenue 
    Fulfillment    -  should I use the default?

	Barbara, first, I apopogize for the lateness of this answer. I have some knowledge of the DEC-10 but not very much. Let me try to put things in perspective: 1. Geographic Area and District On the DEC-10, the Sink Data has 3 parts: TYPE and LOC and ID. When TYPE is "GA", this means Geographic Area. When "GA" is used, the LOC field may be USA, GIA, EUR or blank where blank returns data for all 3 geographic areas combined. When TYPE is set to "GD", this means Geographic District - in this case the LOC field can be blank or can be filled with a geographic area and the ID field can be blank or can be filled with a specific district code. The main purpose of this is to allow a user to retrieve data for a specific district in a specific geographic area. (Alternatively, by leaving the ID field blank, a user could retrieve data for all districts. On the VAX, If you enter a Geographic Area (USA, GIA or EUR) and you leave the District field blank then you would retrieve data for all districts in the Geographic Area you specified. If you enter a district code, you will retrieve data for only that particular district. One note of caution, sometimes there are identical district codes in Europe and the US, therefore if you do enter a district code it is best to also enter a Geographic Area - this will prevent you from getting a misleading answer. It is probably best if you enter a Geographic Area and leave the District field blank. 2. Planning Group and Fulfillment Cut Generally speaking, you should use the defaults which include all Planning Groups and all fulfillment areas (GIA, USA and EUR). These fileds are used to get a finer cut of the data and to track the various data types more closely to the Ship Plan. (Ship Plan itself is generated by Planning Group). For yourself and any user who needs a finer cut of the data than the defaults allow, you should call me and set up a meeting to discuss your needs. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need further assistance. Tom Malomo 269-2411

Barbara, first, I apopogize for the lateness of this answer. I have some 
knowledge of the DEC-10 but not very much. Let me try to put things in 
perspective:

1. Geographic Area and District

   On the DEC-10, the Sink Data has 3 parts: TYPE and LOC and ID. When TYPE is 
   "GA", this means Geographic Area. When "GA" is used, the LOC field
   may be USA, GIA, EUR or blank where blank returns data for all 3
   geographic areas combined.

   When TYPE is set to "GD", this means Geographic District - in this case
   the LOC field can be blank or can be filled with a geographic area and
   the ID field can be blank or can be filled with a specific district code.
   The main purpose of this is to allow a user to retrieve data for a specific
   district in a specific geographic area. (Alternatively, by leaving the
   ID field blank, a user could retrieve data for all districts.
   
   On the VAX, If you enter a Geographic Area (USA, GIA or EUR) and you leave
   the District field blank then you would retrieve data for all districts
   in the Geographic Area you specified. If you enter a district code, you
   will retrieve data for only that particular district. One note of caution,
   sometimes there are identical district codes in Europe and the US, therefore
   if you do enter a district code it is best to also enter a Geographic
   Area - this will prevent you from getting a misleading answer. It is 
   probably best if you enter a Geographic Area and leave the District
   field blank.

2. Planning Group and Fulfillment Cut

   Generally speaking, you should use the defaults which include all Planning
   Groups and all fulfillment areas (GIA, USA and EUR). These fileds are used
   to get a finer cut of the data and to track the various data types more
   closely to the Ship Plan. (Ship Plan itself is generated by Planning Group).
   For yourself and any user who needs a finer cut of the data than the defaults
   allow, you should call me and set up a meeting to discuss your needs. Please
   do not hesitate to contact me if you need further assistance.
