Alerts Provision 

Use

The cross-docking alert monitor provides customizable alerts upon the fulfillment of certain conditions.

 

Prerequisites

...

In the case of non-standard alerts, you have done the following:

...

·        Defined the alerts in Customizing for Logistics Execution → Warehouse Management → Cross-Docking → Monitoring → Define Object Classes.

·        Defined object class identifiers and hierarchy in Customizing for Logistics Execution → Warehouse Management → Cross-Docking → Monitoring →Define Unique Object Class Identifiers, Permitted Movements and Hierarchy.

·        Mapped values to the defined alerts in Customizing for Logistics Execution → Warehouse Management → Cross-Docking → Monitoring → Map Alert Values.

·        Configured the alerts. For more information, see Configuring Alerts.

 

Features

Alerts are provided for the following categories:

Object Class/Alert Category	Contains
Deliveries - Rel. Time in Past	Cross-docking relevant outbound deliveries whose release times and latest release times have passed. The alert statuses are as follows: ·        Red when the latest release time has passed ·        Yellow when the release time has passed
TRs - Rel. Time in Past	Cross-docking relevant TRs whose release times and latest release times have passed. The alert statuses are as follows: ·        Red when the latest release time has passed ·        Yellow when the release time has passed
Cancelled TOs w/o Substitute	TOs that have been cancelled, pursuant to the opportunistic cross-docking process, but for which no substitute TOs have been created. This situation occurs when you are utilizing foreground picking transfer order (TO) creation. During TO creation, when the system displays the source of the TO to be created (e.g. goods receipt storage type 902), the original putaway TO has already been cancelled. If you exit the transaction without saving the TO, no replacement TO is created.

 

Activities

       1.      When the value of a particular object, for which an alert has been configured:

                            a.      Exceeds the upper warning threshold value or falls below the lower warning threshold value, the yellow traffic light appears in the Exception field for the object

                            b.      Exceeds the upper threshold value or falls below the lower threshold value, the red traffic light appears in the Exception field for the object

                            c.      If the alert is not configured to have upper or lower threshold values, the red traffic light automatically appears in the Exception field when the alert appears.

       2.      After you have dealt with a problem via the alert monitor troubleshooting tools, the relevant object disappears.
