Unprocessed Plans

On the Unprocessed Plans page, you can approve, edit, revalidate, reject, archive, and delete unprocessed plans. The page shows a list of unprocessed customer release orders.

You can click and hold the three-dot icon on the column header and drag the column to the required position.

You can use the Personalize Columns option from the More… menu and personalize (hide or unhide, or reorder the column header to the required position) the columns.

You can reset the columns order to default using the Reset Columns Order option from the More… menu.

Two types of unprocessed plans are differentiated:

  1. Unprocessed plans that require a manual approval: Incoming release orders from a customer must be checked and approved manually.
  2. Unprocessed plans that indicate an error: Incoming release orders from a customer cannot be imported and must be checked, corrected, or deleted, because an error happened.

To process the requirements of unprocessed plans, you can perform these tasks:

  • You can manually approve unprocessed plans that have the approval status Approval Required.
  • You can delete or archive unprocessed plans.
  • If the import of a new release order fails, you can add missing master data or configuration data that solves the problem. Then you can revalidate the unprocessed plan.
  • If the import of a new release order fails because of missing or incorrect requirement data, you can correct the order lines. Then you can revalidate the unprocessed plan.
  • If the import of a new release order fails and the problem cannot be solved, you can reject the unprocessed plan.
Note: 
  • Plans that have the exception status Pending are sequence schedules that contain the item data and requirements. These plans remain on the Unprocessed Plans page until they are completed by sequential call-offs that include the sequencing data.
  • When the processing of an incoming plan fails, the application sets the exception status of the plan to Failed.
  • When the application receives additional plans with the same business key and subsequent message sequence numbers while a plan has a Failed status, the application blocks the additional plans and sets the status of these plans to Blocked.
  • If the Failed plan is resolved using the options such as Revalidate, Approve, Reject, Delete, or Archive, the application processes the next plan in the sequence that has the status Blocked.
  • The sequence is determined based on the same business key and the next message sequence number.
  • If the process is completed successfully, the application continues to process the Blocked plans in the sequence. The application stops processing when:
    • All plans are processed successfully. Or,
    • The processing fails for a Blocked plan. In this scenario, the status of the plan is set to Failed.

To search for contract lines, specify filter criteria in the field entries of the required columns.
