Derivation Monitor

Show TOC

Use

The derivation monitor is used to:

Control previously performed derivations (receiver batches, attributes and their values, messages)
Change the status of the invalidated derivations

The derivation logs form 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 Start of the navigation path Logistics Next navigation step Central Functions Batch Management Batch Derivation Derivation Monitor End of the navigation path 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 Example

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

End of the example.

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 Statuses

	Status of New Derivation	Status After Change in Order or Batch Master	Status After Manual Confirmation
OK	Derivation OK	Derivation OK, but data changed	OK, 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:

Derivation OK

The derivation was performed without errors.
Carried out with warning

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.
Terminated with error

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, that is, 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 Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step Set derivation status o.k. End of the navigation path The derivation then receives one of the following statuses:

OK, data change confirmed manually
Warning, (data change) confirmed manually
Error, (data change) confirmed manually

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

Additional Information

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

Material
- Display the material master
Plant
- Display the plant master
Batch
- Display the batch master
- Batch where-used list
  
  The batch where-used list shows:
  - Sender batches that sent attributes
  - Sender batches that did not send attributes
  - Component batches that are not sender batches
Derivation status
- Detail view: Derivation
  
  The system displays all sender batches for a derivation, which sent attributes to the receiver batch.
