Object documentationApplication-Specific Alert Profile

 

Defines application-specific selection criteria for alert determination.

 

If you want to use the Alert Monitor to monitor an application, you must define an application-specific alert profile for the application.

Depending how you want to call the Alert Monitor, you must select this alert profile at the corresponding point. The following options are available to you:

  • If you want to call the Alert Monitor directly, select the alert profile in Alert Profile Maintenance. For more information, see Alert Profile Maintenance.

  • If you want to use the Alert Monitor in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (SAP APO) in the Supply Chain Cockpit (SCC), assign the alert profile to your SCC user profile sapurl_link_0003_0002_0010.

  • If you want to call the Alert Monitor from an application, assign the alert profile to the application.

Note Note

The following is valid if you are working in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (SAP APO):

To be able to use the Alert Monitor in the detailed scheduling planning board, define a Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) alert profile and assign this profile to the overall profile for the detailed scheduling planning board.

If you are working with SAP APO, the following alert profiles are available to you:

  • Available-to-Promise (ATP) Alert Profile

  • Forecast Alert Profile

  • Supply and Demand Planning (SDP) Alert Profile

  • Transport Load Builder (TLB) Alert Profile

  • Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) Alert Profile

  • Vehicle Scheduling (VS) Alert Profile

  • ERP Alert Profile

  • Maintenance and Service Planning (MSP) Alert Profile

  • Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI) Alert Profile

For more information, see the documentation of the respective SAP APO application.

End of the note.

For each application-specific alert profile, you can select the alerts you want to see from a list of predefined alert types.

  • Error (priority one, highlighted in red)

  • Warning (priority two, highlighted in yellow)

  • Information (priority three, highlighted in white)

    Example Example

    Example for defining threshold values for the capacity overload:

    • Info alert for overload between 100% and 120%

    • Warning alert for overload between 120 % and 150%

    • Error alert for overload over 150%

    End of the example.

Choose Start of the navigation path Environment Next navigation step Description Texts End of the navigation path to enter a descriptive text for each alert type. This text can, for example, suggest a specific reaction to this alert for the planner. In the Alert Monitor window (see Alert Monitor Window), the planner can call this descriptive text using the context menu for the alert.

The alert types are collected into alert object types and can be selected together. In Customizing, you can assign a separate alert status to specific alert object types. For more information, see Global and User-Specific Alert Status. For more information about the alert types generated by the Alert Monitor, see SAP Note 500051.
