• Key Concepts: 
  Cumulative aggregation is a feature of the SAP SCM-IBP-CNF Configuration component that allows for the aggregation of data over a period of time. This means that data can be collected and stored over a period of time, and then used to generate reports or analyze trends. This feature is especially useful for forecasting and planning purposes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use cumulative aggregation, first select the data that you want to aggregate. This can be done by selecting the relevant fields in the configuration settings. Once the data has been selected, you can then set up the aggregation parameters, such as the time period and the type of aggregation (e.g., sum, average, etc.). Finally, you can generate reports or analyze trends based on the aggregated data. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up cumulative aggregation, it is important to ensure that the data being aggregated is accurate and up-to-date. Additionally, it is important to consider how long you want to aggregate data for – too short a period may not provide enough information, while too long a period may make it difficult to identify trends or patterns.
