Use

If an error occurs during a status change, provision is made in the SAP system for two possibilities. The system either issues an error message and simultaneously retains the status of the kanban so that you can repeat the action at any time, or it sets the status to "Error". You can only process a faulty kanban again if you have previously carried out the kanban correction process. You need the appropriate authorization to do this.

Prerequisites

If the system is simply to issue an error message without changing the kanban status, you must have previously specified this in Customizing for Kanban under   Status   Define Error Handling for Status Change.   To do so you need the transaction code, the work area, and the number of the corresponding error message. For more information, see the associated Customizing documentation.

Features

  • Status set to "Error"

    This can make sense, for example, if no valid production cost collector exists at the time of confirmation of a run schedule quantity. In this case, it is advisable to set the kanban to the status "Error" because the user must first supply missing data. In the kanban correction process, after supplying the missing data, you can reset the status of the kanban from "Error" to the follow-on status.

    You can specify that an alert is to be issued for kanbans with the status "Error" if Alert Management for Kanban has been activated (see Activation of Kanban Alerts ).

  • Issue of error message with retention of kanban status

    In some situations (for example, if the data is temporarily locked by another user), it is not advisable to change the kanban status. An error message informing the user that the data is locked is sufficient. The user can then repeat the action any time.
