Creating an Exception Group

To check complex material you can combine individual exceptions into one exception group.

An exception group is useful,

  • If you want to check complex and/or requirements (see Example: Exception Group Example 1)

  • If you want to display various colors in a list (see Example: Exception Group Example 2)

  • If you want to check various characteristic values for one characteristic (for example, plant 0001: order value > 10 000 and in plant 0002: order value > 20 000)

  • If you want to combine the forecasting data check with an actual data check.

To create an exception group, proceed as follows:

  1. From the information system menu, select Start of the navigation path Early Warning System Next navigation step Grouping Next navigation step Create. End of the navigation path

    The initial screen appears.

  2. In the field Info structure , specify the name of the information structure to which the exception group will refer.

  3. Please note that you can only assign those individual exceptions of the exception group that refer to the same information structure.

  4. In the field Exception, specify the name of the exception and in the next field give a description of the exception.

  5. You can use an already existing exception group as a reference copy. If you want to use an already existing exception group as reference, specify the name of the exception group that will serve as the reference in the field Exception .

  6. Copy the allocations and settings of the exception group follow-up processing that will serve as the reference.

  7. PressEnter .

    The maintenance screen for the allocations appears.

You can perform the following activities from this screen:

  • Making Allocations

You can combine already existing individual exceptions into one exception group. When making allocations you support various selection functions. You can read more about this in Allocations .

  • Determining the Follow-Up Processing

You can read about how to determine the follow-up processing for the exception group in Determining Follow-Up Processing for the Exception Group .
