CVCs are the essential master data for APO-DP.
For Example: Demand Planning requires sales history to get the forecast values.
This history gets extracted from a suitable source i.e CRM or ERP systems and loaded into an infocube in APO built in BW.
Now we can genarate CVCs based on this loaded sales history.
The transaction code for generating CVC's from an Info Cube is /SAPAPO/MC62 ;
Example CVC: Product,Location,Region,Quantity,Deliverydate(P1,L1,R1,2400,'15-Jan-2016')
There are different options availble to create CVCs.
