SCMP organizes data via Collaborations or Collabs:
– Dimensions: A Collaboration is described by a unique combination: Customer + Site + Part Number (Customer & Supplier) + Supplier.
– Attributes: Represents supporting data that relates to the Collaboration.
Collab Attributes are irrespective of time; for example, Buyer or Partner address data like Number, Street, City, etc. PIT Attributes can change depending on time; for example, delivered quantity, past due quantity, MRP requirements, etc.
