We use SPM 5.2.02 with the BPCS CD interface.

Yes it is possible to re-align data in SPM.

First go into 'Work with change sets' (STWRKSET)
Here a table is set up with search and replace keys. e.g. search for a
particular customer number and replace the rep no for that customer with a
new rep number.
When the table is completed 'Apply change sets data' ((STAPYSET) is run
which actually changes the data in SPM.
Great care should be taken. If you are not familiar with this area you could
get a better understanding by reading the last chapter of the SPM Reference
Manual SSARUN39. This includes some examples. You may also need to re-align
your forecast.

If there is a lot of data to be changed, setting up a change set could be
quite tedious. Sometimes it is easier to run 'Clear sales data' (STCLRSLS)
and then re-run the import directly from the SIH and SIL (as mentioned by
Lisa below). When the sales are being re-imported, the SPM analysis codes as
they currently exist on the IIM, RCM etc. will be used to rebuild SPM.
However it will also use the current standard cost and if you track margins
in SPM, then they would be incorrect if your standards changed since the
first import.

        We used to use SPM with BPCS 4.0.5 (have since moved to a true data
warehousing system).  We rebuilt our SPM history every month to reflect
changes in item class, salesman, etc.  While there was a great deal of
discussion about this, the uses finally agreed that the invoice data would
remain static, but that SPM needed to refled the business as it was
organized "today", not what it was like when it happened.

        We are running BPCS 6.1.01 Mixed Mode and using SPM as our data
warehouse.
        A request has come up to change some of our SCRF's in the customer
master.  My question is if anyone out there is using SPM along with BPCS how
are you handling past history when a change needs to be made?
