MFP - Multi-tiered planning
Will MFP accommodate a multi tiered planning approach that includes location level sales and 'forced' gross margin percent that calculates gross margin $?
As an example, Top Down would include Channel, Group, Year Sales and Gross Margin % (forcing in the margin % without planning any of the metrics that go into the GM Calculation)
Middle out would include Location, year, Sales and Gross Margin % (forcing in the gross margin % without planning any of the metrics that go into the GM Calculation)
Bottom up would include Channel, month, department, financial metrics (Sales, IMU, Markdowns, Receipts, EOM Inventories, shrink).
In-season planning would then be at the group/department... channel, district, or location level for the same metrics described in the bottom up scenario.
