Abstract

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for planning replenishment of products in a distribution system. A first key figure associated to a first product and a second key figure associated to a second product are collected, the first product and the second product being distributed by the distribution system. The first key figure and the second key figure are aggregated into an aggregate. The aggregate is used to replenish the first product and the second product.
