In this IMG activity, you define exception rules that you can use later in data collection for the summarization hierarchy or order hierarchy (with classification).
Exception rules cause the variances of summarization objects in a summarization hierarchy to be highlighted by "traffic light" symbols, enabling you to pinpoint particular orders for further analysis. The percentage or absolute threshold values you specify determine when a traffic light of a particular color is shown next to an object.
By specifyng a rule, you store the size which the specification of the threshold values refers to.
Suppose you define the rule basis "Cost variance against plan in percent" and define the threshold value for a yellow traffic light as 10% and for red 30%.
Result:
The standard system contains a number of predefined rule bases.
To define an exception rule:
