Display of Alerts
Use
When problems and non-typical situations arise during planning, the system generates alerts to inform the planner.The following tools are available for displaying alerts during interactive planning:
The Alert Monitor can display a wide range of PP/DS-specific alerts, for example, for capacity, date and quantity problems.
The
Alert Monitor
is configurable. In a
PP/DS alert profile
, you can specify both the alert types that can be displayed as well as the threshold value for the priority of the alerts (error, warning, or information), depending on the size of the problem.For example, for a delay of a day the
Alert Monitor
is to trigger an error alert, and for a delay of an hour, an info alert.
You can display or hide the
Alert Monitor
as required.A list of the order-related alerts is also integrated in the
order processing view
.
Alert icons
Icons display date or quantity problems for the receipts or requirements on the planning screen.The meaning of the icon depends on the priority of the alerts.

Prerequisites
Under
Supply Chain Monitoring
in the
Alert Monitor
, you have defined a
PP/DS alert profile
with the alert types you want to see in planning.
For interactive planning, it is defined internally in the program that alerts are to be generated for the displayed objects or for the objects from the direct environment of the displayed objects.When the DS planning board is called up directly , alerts are also generated for the objects of the propagation range.Objects that you have specified in the alert profile are not taken into consideration.
Under
Settings
in interactive planning, you have entered the desired PP/DS alert profile.Exception: For a DS planning board called directly, you enter a PP/DS alert profile when calling it up.
You have made the necessary settings in the master data for the various alerts types.
The following table contains a description of selected alerts and master data settings.
Alerts |
Description / Settings in the Master Data |
|---|---|
Quantity alerts |
During pegging , a requirement is assigned a receipt.If a staged product quantity from a receipt is not assigned or not completely assigned to a requirement, this receipt generates a surplus.If a product quantity required by a requirement is not covered or not completely covered by receipts, a shortage is generated.When surpluses and shortages arise during planning, the system automatically generates quantity alerts. In
dynamic pegging
, you use the
pegging interval
to restrict the time period in which receipts can be assigned to a requirement.From the point of view of a requirement, a shortage occurs if there are no or too few receipts in the pegging interval of the requirement.From the point of view of a receipt, there is a surplus if the receipt quantity is not assigned or only partially assigned to requirements.You define the pegging interval in the location product master on the
|
Date/time alerts |
If a dynamic or fixed pegging relationship exists between a receipt and a requirement, date problems must also be considered in addition to quantity problems. The availability date/time can be before or after the requirements date/time, which means the product is available too early or too late. On the

Capacity alerts |
To enable the system to generate alerts for a resource when it is
overloaded, you must specify the following on the
That they are scheduled finitely Which resource load the system is to interpret as resource overload Capacity alerts are only displayed in the
