This function allows you to recognize exception situations. SAP F&R shows various exceptions in its various workbenches, which you can process:
Product Workbench: Exceptions for the selected location product
Replenishment Workbench: Exceptions for order proposals and order proposal items
Replenishment Workbench for Stores: Exceptions for order proposals and location products
Cause Determination: Exceptions for the selected location product
You have configured the exception subscriptions in the alert profile in the Exception Workbench (/FRE/EXC). You can create multiple alert profiles here and then select one each in the Product Workbench and the Replenishment Workbench.
You can process exceptions in the Exceptions
section.
Exceptions can relate to the following objects:
An order proposal or an order proposal item
A location product
A location
Inconsistent data (for example, missing master data)
Technical problems (for example, with data transfer)
Demand influencing factors
Exceptions are valid until you confirm them or until their validity period is exceeded:
Exceptions that have occurred during automatic replenishment are valid until they are confirmed or until the next replenishment run.
Exceptions that occur during order proposal release management are valid until the order proposal concerned is released. These exceptions are not confirmed automatically.
You configure the exception subscription to define the exceptions you are responsible for.
Exceptions are assigned to business areas. You can define the display of business areas in Customizing. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Forecasting and Replenishment
under .
This assignment of exceptions to business areas is predefined.
You can display all exceptions or you can display them according to priority.
You can confirm exceptions that you have acknowledged.
You can deal with exceptions that have arisen from the internal connection by processing the error in the interface record and then confirming them. For more information, see Interface Workbench.
Additional functions for exception processing are available in the Exception Workbench.
