Selection of Confirmations

Use

When the system generates a shift report for a shift, the list of confirmations contains all confirmations to which one of the following conditions apply:

  • The date of the end of processing of the confirmed operation lies within the entry period of the shift report. The end of processing indicates that processing has ended. Teardown must or can still be carried out.

  • The date of the end of execution of the confirmed operation lies within the entry period of the shift report. The date of the end of execution is the date on which the operation is finally completed, including processing and teardown.

  • The entry date lies within the entry period of the shift report.

The processing end date has a higher priority than the execution end date. If the date of the end of processing exists for an operation, this date is taken into account in the selection of confirmations and the confirmation assigned to the shift in which the processing of the operation was completed.

Integration

The selection of the confirmations applies to the following sections in the shift report:

  • List of confirmations

  • List of aggregated quantities

  • List of aggregated activities

  • List of aggregated goods movements

Prerequisites

You have defined the content of the shift report in the Customizing activity Define Shift Report Type as follows:

  • In the Confirmations area, you have selected the Display Section checkbox. You can also select the Smart Select checkbox to specify whether or not the system is to carry out a smart selection.

  • In the List of Confirmations area, you have selected the Display Section checkbox.

  • If the List of Aggregated Quantities, the List of Aggregated Activitiese , and the List of Aggregated Goods Movements are also to be displayed in the shift report, you must likewise have set the Display Section indicator.

Features

Perform Smart Select

You can use the Smart Select checkbox to specify that the system is to list confirmations in only one shift report with the aid of a smart selection function. If you have selected the checkbox, the system performs an extended selection to avoid redundancies in the shift reports. A confirmation is then displayed in a single shift report only:

  • Either in the report for the shift in which the operation was performed (in this case, the end of processing or end of execution lies within the entry period of the shift report).

  • Or in the report for the shift in which the confirmation was entered.

Perform Simple Selection

If you do not set the Smart Select checkbox, the system carries out a simple selection. In this case redundancies are liable to occur in the List of Confirmations because it may happen that a confirmation is displayed in two shift reports:

  • The confirmation is displayed in the report for the shift in which the operation was executed. (The end of processing or end of execution lies within the entry period of the shift report.)

  • The confirmation is additionally displayed in the report for the shift in which it was entered.

The aim of simple selection is to ensure that basically all confirmations are included in the report for a shift.

Selection and Calculation of Quantities for Aggregated Lists

For the list of aggregated quantities, the system calculates the total quantity of the materials produced in the shift based on the quantities confirmed. The list of confirmations can contain both quantities that were produced during this shift and quantities that were produced in a previous shift but which were not confirmed until this shift. In this case, the entry date of the confirmation lies within the shift for which the shift report is to be generated.

To provide the person responsible for the shift with a good overview of the quantities produced during his or her shift, only the quantities that were produced in exactly this shift (i.e. whose end of processing or end of execution lies within the relevant shift) are included in the shift report. To be able to show confirmation information foreign to the shift in the shift report, you must remove the filter in the layout of the list in Customizing for the shift report type .
