• Key Concepts: 
  Aggregate level is a term used in SAP's Supply Chain Management-Advanced Planner and Optimizer-Forecasting and Demand Planning (SCM-APO-FCS Demand Planning) component. It is a way of grouping items together to create a single forecast. This allows for more accurate forecasting and better decision making. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Aggregate level can be used to group items together based on their characteristics. For example, items can be grouped by product type, geography, or customer segment. Once the items are grouped, a single forecast can be created for the entire group. This forecast can then be used to make decisions about inventory levels, pricing, and other aspects of the supply chain. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an aggregate level forecast, it is important to consider the characteristics of the items being grouped together. For example, if the items are from different geographies, it may be necessary to create separate forecasts for each geography. Additionally, it is important to consider how often the forecast should be updated in order to ensure accuracy.
