Monitoring Overdue Purchase Orders and Scheduling Agreement Releases

You can regularly check whether open purchase orders, orders, and scheduling agreement releases are overdue. The system provides information about the overdue purchase orders, orders, and scheduling agreement releases of the service loss analysis and shortage analysis and, if necessary, creates supplier confirmation requests and alerts.

You can use the following planning services of the Planning Service Manager (PSM) to check whether purchase orders, orders, or scheduling agreement releases are overdue:

SPP: Overdue PO, Delivery Schedule (SPP_REP_DUE)
SPP: Overdue Orders and Releases (SPP_REP_DUE7)

According to your requirements, you can schedule or directly execute one or both planning services regularly in the PSM. For more information, see Use of the Planning Service Manager for SPP and PSM Services for Analysis, Reporting, and Monitoring.

Features

Planning Service SPP_REP_DUE

Based on the products that correspond to your PSM selection and open documents, the SPP_REP_DUE planning service determines a list of overdue schedule lines to evaluate further in service loss analysis and shortage analysis.

The planning service checks whether the following open documents are overdue. It obtains the data for these documents from SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC):

Purchase orders
TPOP purchase orders
Scheduling agreement releases
Subcontract orders

All schedule lines that were due in the past are considered overdue.

If the planning service determines overdue schedule lines, it generates an alert of type Overdue Scheduling Agreement Schedule Lines (alert type 7806) or Overdue Rush Order (alert type 7807), as well as a supplier confirmation request.

If you want to ensure that the system generates only alerts that are relevant for you, you can specify which alerts are not to be generated by the SPP_REP_DUE planning service in the Business Add-In (BAdI) BAdI: Prevent Generation of Alerts (/SCA/SDPR_ALR_PRE_N).

Purchase orders
