Using Side Panels

Using side panels in the shipping cockpit enables you to display additional context information on demand. The side panel content can be enhanced and adjusted with minimal effort to suit your needs.

Prerequisites

You have activated the following business functions in transaction SFW5:
- /BCV/MAIN FND – Business Context Viewer Main Application
- /BCV/MAIN_1 FND – Business Context Viewer Main Application 2
- /BCV/NWBC_SIDEPANEL FND – Business Context Viewer NWBC Side Panel
You have activated the BC set /SCWM/SR_SCO_BCV – Configuration for Business Context Viewer - Shipping Cockpit.
Your user has the authorizations of the role /SCWM/BCV_USER.
To use example content for measurement services, you must activate the BC set /SCWM/MS_BCV – Measurement Services in Sidepanel. Alternatively you can set up your own content in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under Monitoring Measurement Services Define Side Panel Content for Measurement Services .

Features

The side panel content delivered as standard contains the following information:

Transportation unit (TU) weight and volume capacities (in the planning view only)
The system displays the following information:
- Weights and volumes for the assigned outbound delivery orders
- Maximum loading weight and volume
- Available loading weight and volume
This information is available as an overview and as a query view. The weight and volume of the assigned outbound delivery orders is calculated based on the unit of measure of the outbound delivery order items. This means that if an outbound delivery order is assigned with an item for one pallet, the capacity for the pallet is also considered, whereas if the outbound delivery order item is for 10 pieces without information about the packaging size, the capacity is only based on the net capacity for 10 pieces.
Carriers per route (in the planning view only)
Carriers that shipped goods on the selected route in the last six months are displayed. This information is available as an overview and as a query view.
Business partner master data
Depending on what you have selected in the Transportation Units, Deliveries, and Execution View screen areas, either the carrier or the ship-to party master data is displayed.
Measurement services
The system displays measurement service KPIs. This information is available as an overview and as a query view.
