Description

Exception During Validation of Kanban Object

7093

Validation

SAP SNC has detected a problem during validation of an inbound purchase order. For more information, see Validation in Kanban Processing.

New Kanban Request

7091

System

SAP SNC generates this alert automatically when a new kanban request arrives.

If you modify the alert (for example, the alert priority) or want to suppress generation of this alert, you must implement the method BEFORE_ALERT_CREATION_NEWREQ of the Business Add-In (BAdI) /SCA/DM_KANBAN.

Late Kanban Response

7092

Report

As customer, you expect the supplier to respond to an empty kanban within a specific time and to create an ASN as a draft or to publish an ASN for the empty kanban in SAP SNC. You define this response time in SAP SNC for each kanban control cycle.

To monitor whether the response time has been adhered to and to make the supplier aware of delays, if necessary, you run the /SCA/DM_KNBN_ALRT_LATERESP report regularly in the SAP SNC system. The report checks whether the response time has been exceeded for empty kanbans. To determine a delay, the report adds the response time to the time at which the kanban request arrived in SAP SNC. If the time calculated in this way is in the past, and the response time has therefore been exceeded, the report generates the alert.

To call the report for online processing, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Start of the navigation path Supply Network Collaboration Next navigation step Exceptions Next navigation step Alert Generation Next navigation step Generate Alerts for Late Response to Kanban Requests End of the navigation path.

If you modify the alert (for example, the alert priority) or want to suppress generation of this alert, you must implement the method BEFORE_LATERESUPD of the BAdI /SCA/KANBAN.

Maximum Number of Allowed Empty Kanbans Reached

7094

System

SAP SNC generates this alert automatically when there are more kanbans in empty state than the allowed maximum number. You can maintain the maximum number of allowed empty kanbans manually in the kanban control cycle master data or by transfering the data from your ERP system using the report KANBAN_MD_TRANSMIT.

Note Note

If you maintain the maximum number of allowed empty kanbans in the control cycle master data, the system does not generate a Late Kanban Response alert before the maximum number of allowed empty kanbans has been reached. For example, if you have maintained the maximum number of allowed empty kanbans as 2 and the late response time has been maintained as 1 day, then a single empty kanban can remain in status Empty for longer than a day without an alert being generated.

End of the note.
