Aggregate Movements

The aggregation of Movement Events is a two-tier concept:

• Parent groups are the aggregates of all movements at an Operation Segment, or all movements at a Source-Destination pairing. This is based on the parent grouping strategy that applies to the equipment on each side of the Movement.

• Child subgroups for the different Contributors and Materials that are active in the parent group.

Parent grouping strategy

• Movement data is aggregated by Secondary Accounting Period.

• You can configure movement data to aggregate by Operations Segment.

• You can configure movement data to aggregate by Activity ID

• For each equipment, there is a property to configure the aggregation strategy for that equipment. The options for aggregating equipment data are: Lot, Lot Group, or by Equipment.

Child grouping strategy

• You can configure movement data to aggregate by Contributors.

• You can configure movement data to aggregate by Material.
