Component documentationAlert Monitor

 

You can use the Alert Monitor to monitor whether your application is running without problems. To do this, for each of the applications you work with, you use alert profiles to specify in what situations the system reports the problem, in other words, generates an alert. In the Alert Monitor window, you can monitor all the alerts that have occurred, and can navigate directly to the relevant application function to resolve the problem. For more information, see Alert Monitor Window.

Note Note

Integration

You can only use the Alert Monitor with SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (SAP APO), SAP Forecasting and Replenishment and SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM). For more information, see the documentation for the relevant application.

Features

The scope of the alerts displayed depends on how you call the Alert Monitor. You can choose from the following options:

  • If you call the Alert Monitor directly, the system displays all the alerts determined according to your selected overall alert profile. For more information, see Overall Alert Profile. On the initial screen of the Alert Monitor, you can also call up an alert situation that has been determined in the background and saved. You can then process the alerts. For more information, see Determining Alerts in the Background.

  • If you want to use the Alert Monitor within the Supply Chain Cockpit (SCC) in SAP APO, you must assign application-specific alert profiles to your SCC user profile. In the upper right area of the SCC, you can see the existing alerts for the applications.

  • If you call the Alert Monitor from an application, the system only displays alerts for the alert types that exist for the objects that you are processing in the application, and that you have selected in the relevant application-specific alert profile. For more information, see Application-Specific Alert Profile.

  • If you want to view all alerts for individual objects, such as for a particular location product, irrespective of which application the alerts were generated, you can use the Alert Overview by Objects function. For more information, see Alert Overview by Objects.
