Release Alerts 
A release alert is an alert that refers to an exception situation in connection with a scheduling agreement release.
Release processing distinguishes between supplier-specific and customer-specific alert types. In the Alert Monitor, the alert types can only be seen by the relevant partner in each case.
To generate a release alert, the following options are available, depending on the alert type:
The Post Processing Framework (PPF) generates an alert by default when a release arrives in SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC).
System administration regularly executes a special report in the SAP SNC system.
SAP SNC generates the alert during validation of the release (see Validation). SAP SNC performs the validation automatically when a release arrives in SAP SNC. System administration can deactivate alert generation in Customizing for Validation.
The following table contains the alert types for releases:
Alert Type |
ID |
Source |
Addressee |
Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
New Scheduling Agreement Release |
23 |
PPF |
Supplier |
A new release has arrived in SAP SNC (application /SCA/ICH, action profile /SCA/BOL_RELEASE, action /SCA/BOL_REL_NEWRELEASE_CHECK). |
Unacknowledged/Unconfirmed Scheduling Agreement Release |
24 |
Report |
Supplier, customer |
The supplier has not yet acknowledged or confirmed the release. System administration generates these alerts using the /SCA/RELUNACKNALERTWRITE report. The report deletes obsolete alerts. For more information, see Alert Generation - Unacknowledged Scheduling Agreement Releases. |
Unloading Point Has Changed |
7025 |
PPF |
Supplier |
The unloading point of the current release deviates from the unloading point of the previous release (application /SCA/ICH, action profile /SCA/BOL_RELEASE, action /SCA/BOL_REL_UNLD_CHG). |
Cumulative Received Quantity Is Smaller |
7026 |
PPF |
Supplier |
The cumulative received quantity of the current release is less than that of the previous release (application /SCA/ICH, action profile /SCA/BOL_RELEASE, action /SCA/BOL_REL_CUM_QUAN_LESS). |
Fiscal Year Has Changed |
7027 |
PPF |
Supplier |
The fiscal year of the current release deviates from the fiscal year of the previous release (application /SCA/ICH, action profile /SCA/BOL_RELEASE, action /SCA/BOL_REL_FISCAL_YR_CHG). |
SA Release with Demand That Cannot Be Covered (Supplier) |
7028 |
PPF |
Supplier |
The release contains schedule lines that you, as supplier, cannot cover within the lead time (see Lead Time). To determine whether a release contains uncovered schedule lines, SAP SNC takes account of the deliveries that the supplier has sent to the customer. Here, SAP SNC evaluates the ASNs that the supplier sent to the customer (application /SCA/ICH, action profile /SCA/BOL_RELEASE, action /SCA/BOL_REL_UNSATIS_DEMAND). For more information, see Determining Due Schedule Lines. |
SA Release with Demand That Cannot Be Covered (Customer) |
7029 |
Report |
Customer |
This alert corresponds to the alert type 7028 for uncovered releases that can only be seen by suppliers (see above). System administration generates these alerts using the /SCA/REL_DEMAND_ALERT_WRITE report. The report deletes obsolete alerts.

Scheduling Agreement Release Overdue |
7101 |
Report |
Customer, supplier |
The release contains due schedule lines in the past (see Determining Due Schedule Lines). System administration generates these alerts using the /SCA/DUELISTALERTWRITE report. To call the report for online processing, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose |
Scheduling Agreement Release Due Within Lead Time |
7102 |
Report |
Customer, supplier |
The release contains schedule lines in the future that lie within the lead time (see Lead Time) and have due quantities (see Determining Due Schedule Lines). System administration generates these alerts using the /SCA/DUELISTALERTWRITE report. To call the report for online processing, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose |
New Note for Release |
7105 |
Validation |
Customer, supplier |
In SAP SNC, the customer or supplier has created a new note for a scheduling agreement release or a scheduling agreement confirmation. The standard system generates the alert directly in the background. Direct alert generation is controlled by the SCONF_NEW_NOTE_DIRECT validation check that is active in the standard system. If you deactivate the validation check, the system creates new-note alerts using the PPF (application /SCA/ICH_NOTES, action profile /SCA/BOL_REL_NOTES, action /SCA/BOL_REL_NEW_NOTES). |
Scheduling Agreement Release Rejected |
7107 |
System |
Customer |
The supplier has rejected the release in SAP SNC. For more information, see Functions in Release Processing. |
Exception in Validation of Scheduling Agreement Release |
7034 |
Validation |
Supplier, customer |
The validation has detected invalid, missing, or differing data in the release. In the standard system, SAP SNC generates a validation alert for a release, for example, in the following cases: The product number is missing, or the location product does not exist in SAP SNC. The unloading point in the release differs from the unloading points entered in SAP SNC in the transportation lane. You can use the Business Add-In (BAdI) /SCMB/BOL_UNLOAD_PT to replace the unloading point in the master data with the unloading point transferred in the release. For more information, see Validation Checks. |
The ID column contains the alert type ID. The Adressee column shows who can see the alert. The Source column indicates how an alert is generated.
