Exception Message Types by Planner (cprao1110m000)Use this session to define and maintain planner-specific exception message settings that determine:
Specify the exception message types required for the planner involved, and define the settings for each exception message type. Per exception message type / planner combination, a minimum cost price and e exception message horizon are defined that regulate the generation of the exception message. In the Minimum Cost Price field, you can specify a minimum cost price for each exception message. Note You can define a general set of exception message types not directed at a specific planner. This set goes into effect if the Planner ID is left empty. If you want to generate exception messages for a specific planner, you must first define a set of exception message types for this planner.
Planner ID The employee number of the planner whose set of exception message types is shown. Note An exception message is directed to a specific planner, if the exception message refers to an item for which an employee code has been entered in the Planner field in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000). If this field is empty, a general set of exception message types is displayed, which is used for all exception messages that are not directed to a specific planner. Minimum Cost Price Currency for Exception Messages The currency that LN uses to express the minimum cost price, which you can define in the EP Parameters (cprpd0100m000) session. If you defined a different currency for the item in the Items - Costing (ticpr0107m000) session, LN converts this currency to the currency for the minimum cost price. Exception Message Type Specify the type of exception message that LN can generate during planning. Exception message types inform the planner about the current planning process. Allowed values Minimum Cost Price The minimum cost price to which the exception message type on this line applies. Note If the Minimum Cost Price field for a exception message type is blank, you can specify a value. LN only generates the corresponding exception message type, if the Standard Cost of the ordered item lies above the minimum cost price. Exception Message Priority The default priority of the exception message type. You can use this priority, for example, to display the exception messages in order of importance. Allowed values Enter a number from one (highest priority) to 100 (lowest priority). Horizon The exception message horizon of the exception message type on this line defined in days. Note For some exception message types, the horizon is a fixed value. These exception message types are not constrained by a horizon:
For pegging exception messages, the horizon must be lower in value than the Pegging Horizon field in the Planning Parameters (cprpd0100m000) session. If the value of this field exceeds that of the Pegging Horizon, fast Pegging: No Planned Inventory and Pegging: No Planned Material Inventory exception messages may be generated. Tolerance (Prc) The tolerance expressed in percentages for the exception message type on the line. Note If you define a tolerance percentage for a exception message type, LN ignores minor deviations from the norm value when it generates exception messages of this type. For Workload < Norm and Workload > Norm the tolerance percentage is disabled as well. To define a tolerance for these exception messages use the Workload Tolerance field in the Resource (cprpd2100m000) session. For the Forecast <> Actual Demand exception message type the demand forecast is the norm value and the tolerance percentage applies in both directions (below and above the demand forecast). Only following exception message types can have a tolerance percentage:
Example
Tolerance (Days) The tolerance in days applies to exception messages that involve a comparison of dates, and that indicate that a certain date is earlier or later than a certain norm date. Note The tolerance in days is expressed in working days. If you define a tolerance in days for a exception message type, LN will ignore minor deviations from the norm date when it generates exception messages of this type. The tolerance in days applies to the following exception message types:
For the Transfer Late exception message type, the tolerance in days is actually used as a special kind of time fence, to indicate when the order should be transferred. For all other exception message types, the tolerance in days is disabled. Example
Maximum Number The maximum number of exception messages of this type that LN generates for a specific item/planner combination. Note If you set the maximum number of a specific exception message type to ten, only the first ten exception messages of this type are stored for one item ( for a specific planner). The generation of exception messages of following types is not constrained by the maximum number. The exception message types involved are:
Disable If this check box is selected, no exception messages of the type specified are generated. Auto Process If this check box is selected, LN can process the corresponding exception message automatically in the Process Exception Messages (cprao1220m000) session. Note You can only select this check box for the following exception message types:
LN only generates the exception message types mentioned above when you carry out order-based planning. If the Auto Process check box in the Exception Messages by Planner and Item (cprao1125m000) is selected, you can view the generated cancellation and rescheduling exception messages there after the order-based planning is completed.
Print Exception Message Types Starts the Print Exception Message Types (cprao1410m000) session.
