Background documentationShipment Alerts

 

Shipment alerts are alerts in critical situations for shipments. To generate a shipment alert, the following options are available, depending on the alert type:

  • SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) generates the alert in the background, for example, when the shipment is saved or canceled.

  • System administration regularly executes the report Generate Alerts for Overdue and Unassigned ASNs (/SCA/ASN_PASTDUE_ALERTWRITE) in the SAP SNC system. To call the report for online processing, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Start of the navigation path Supply Network Collaboration Next navigation step Exceptions Next navigation step Alert Generation Next navigation step Generate Alerts for Overdue Unassigned ASNs End of the navigation path.

The following table contains the alert types for shipments. The ID column of the table contains the alert type ID. The Source column indicates how an alert is generated.
