Purpose

The derivation monitor is used to:

The derivation logs from the basis of the derivation monitor.

Prerequisites

Derivations have already been performed in your system.

Features

To go to the selection screen containing the following selection criteria, choose Logistics ® Central Functions ® Batch Management ® Batch Derivation ® Derivation Monitor to access the selection screen for the derivation monitor.

Selection Screen

On the selection screen, you enter the criteria for selecting the derivations that are to be displayed.

Example

For example, you can display all derivations of batches with a certain expiration date, or all derivations for a batch or derivation event.

You can change the display of the derivations. You can choose whether the display focuses on the batches or on the derivation status.

Derivation Monitor

The derivation monitor displays all derivations that match the given selection criteria.

There are nine derivation statuses:

Derivation Status

 

Status of New Derivation

Status After Change in Order or Batch Master

Status after Manual Confirm.

OK

Derivation o.k.

Derivation o.k., but data changed

o.k., data change confirmed manually

Warning

Carried out with warning

Warning and data change

Warning, (data change) confirmed manually

Error

Terminated with error

Error and data change

Warning, (data change) confirmed manually

 

After a derivation is performed for the first time, it can have one of three statuses:

The derivation was performed without errors.

For at least one attribute, one of the rules in the condition record is set to Warning, and the corresponding situation has occurred (for example, a sent attribute was empty). The system displays a warning for this derivation, but the derivation is still carried out. In other words, the receiver batch is changed.

For at least one attribute, one of the rules in the condition record is set to Error, and the corresponding situation has occurred (for example, the receiving attribute already contained a different value). The derivation is canceled, i.e. no attributes for the receiver batch are changed – not even the attributes where no error occurred.

Changing the Derivation Status

You can manually confirm an invalidated derivation in the derivation monitor by choosing Edit ® Set derivation status o.k. The derivation then receives one of the following statuses:

For more information on status changes after changes in the order or to the batch, see Consistency Check for Changes to the Derivation.

Additional Information

The derivation monitor offers you the following additional information using the context menu (right mouse button):

The batch where-used list shows:

The system displays all sender batches for a derivation, which have sent attributes to the receiver batch.
