Exception Messages by Planner and Item (cprao1125m000)

Use this session to review the all signals that LN generated for one specific item.

 

Planner ID
The planner to whom LN directs the displayed exception messages.
Note

If you did not define planner-specific exception message parameters in the Exception Message Types by Planner (cprao1110m000) session, LN takes into account the planner that you specified in the Planner field in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session.

If you leave this field empty, LN displays the exception messages for which you did not define planner-specific exception message parameters in the Exception Message Types by Planner (cprao1110m000) session, and for items for which you did not define a planner in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session.

In the Generate Master Planning (cprmp1202m000) session and in the Generate Order Planning (cprrp1210m000) session you can specify the planner to whom LN must direct the exception messages in the Save Messages for Planner field.

Scenario
The scenario for which LN displays the exception messages.
Plan Item
The plan item for which the LN displays the exception messages.
Priority
The priority of the exception message. You can use this priority, for example, to display the exception messages in order of importance.
Note

The exception message priority is expressed as a number between one (highest priority) and 100 (lowest priority).

You can enter the default priority for a exception message type in the Exception Message Types by Planner (cprao1110m000) session.

Exception Message
The exception message in question. In the Message field, LN provides additional, situation-specific information, for example, a relevant date, or an error specification.
Note

Each exception message is a token of a certain exception message type.

Some exception message types always appear in the same form. Other exception message types can appear in various forms.

As a rule, however, it is not hard to recognize to which exception message type a particular exception message belongs.

Order Type
The order type of the order involved.

LN does not only generate exception messages for planned orders, but also for actual orders.

If this field is empty, the exception message relates to other item related data than orders, such as, for example the safety stock or the planning horizon.

Allowed values

Kind of Order

Order Number
The order number of the order to which this exception message refers.

This field is empty if:

Position Number
The specific order line to which this exception message refers.
Note

The value of this field is zero, if the exception message does not refer to an order.

Reference Date
The reference date for the exception message involved. The reference date expresses the date and time a problem or a situation occurs.
Note

The reference date depends on they type of planning during which the corresponding exception message was generated:

  • If LN generated the exception message for a specific planned order, the reference date usually indicates the finish date of the corresponding order line. The only exception is the exception message of type Transfer Late, for which LN indicates the start date of the corresponding order line.
  • If LN generated the exception message on the basis of master-plan data, the reference date usually indicates the start date of the plan period to which the exception message refers.

For exception messages of the type Item Error, LN fills the finish date of the order if the Item Error exception message is generated for a specific planned order. In all other cases, LN fills the Reference Date field with 0 (zero), which means that the item error always applies.

Message
This field contains additional, exception message-specific information. The information that LN provides can be useful to modify the planning aspect to which the exception message refers.
Accepted
If this check box is selected, you indicate that you took notice the exception message and do not want to analyze it any further. If this check box is cleared, you indicate that you want to reexamine the exception message at a later time. Clearing this check box may be done at any time.
Note

You can hide accepted exception messages by selecting Hide Accepted Exception Messages on the appropriate menu.

Exception Message Date
The date that LN generated the exception message.
Auto Process
If this check box is selected, you can let LN process the corresponding exception message automatically in the Process Exception Messages (cprao1220m000) session.
Note

This check box will be selected by LN if an order-planning run is done while the Auto Process in the Exception Message Types by Planner (cprao1110m000) is selected for the specific exception message.

If this check box is cleared, you can process the exception messages manually by clicking Process Exception Messages in the appropriate menu.

You can only select the Auto Process check box for the following exception message types:

  • Cancel
  • Reschedule In
  • Reschedule Out
Processed
If this check box is selected, LN processed the corresponding exception message in the Process Exception Messages (cprao1220m000) session.
Item Exception Message Text
You can create a text if you highlight a specific exception message, and click Edit Text on the toolbar.

Related topics

Order Status
The status of the planned order involved.
Effectivity Unit
If you specified an effectivity unit for this item in the Effectivity Unit (tcuef0102m000) session, LN displays the corresponding number in this field.
Quantity
The inventory quantity, demand quantity, or order quantity to which this exception message applies.

Depending on the exception message type involved, this number can indicate:

  • The negative inventory (or negative ATP) level referred to in the exception message.
  • The amount of inventory that is below a minimum norm level.
  • The amount of inventory that is above a maximum norm level.
  • The difference between demand forecast and actual demand (positive when the actual demand is higher, negative when it is lower).
  • The production plan quantity that does not conform to the lot size rules.
  • The order quantity that is too late or too early.
  • The order quantity that should be rescheduled.
  • The order quantity or supply plan quantity that must be canceled.
Specification
Specification
If this check box is selected, a specification is present.
Effectivity Unit
A means to control the validity of variations by effectivity units.

Unit effectivity enables you to model changes for the following entities:

  • Engineering bill of material
  • Production bill of material
  • Routing
  • Routing operations
  • Supplier selection
  • Sourcing strategies
Business Partner
If this exception message involves a supply, this field indicates the sold-to business partner to which this supply was allocated or demand pegged. If this exception message involves a demand, this field indicates the sold-to business partner to which the supply that can fill this demand must have been allocated or demand pegged.
Note

LN uses this characteristic to match supply and demand.

Business Object Type
If this exception message involves a supply, this field indicates the type of order to which the inventory was allocated or the supply object was demand pegged, such as, Sales Order, or Service Order. If this exception message involves a demand, this field indicates the type of order to which the supply that can fill this demand must have been allocated or demand pegged.
Note

LN uses this characteristic to match supply and demand.

The following fields are always used in combination; together, they identify the relevant order or order line:

  • Business Object Type
  • Business Object
  • Business Object Reference
Business Object
If this exception message involves a supply, this field indicates the order, or order line, to which the inventory was allocated or the supply object was demand pegged, such as, Sales Order, or Service Order. If this exception message involves a demand, this field indicates the order, or order line, to which the supply that can fill this demand must have been allocated or demand pegged.
Note

LN uses this characteristic to match supply and demand.

The following fields are always used in combination; together, they identify the relevant order or order line:

  • Business Object Type
  • Business Object
  • Business Object Reference
Reference
If this exception message involves a supply, this field indicates the reference code to which the inventory was allocated or the supply object was demand pegged. If this exception message involves a demand, this field indicates the reference code to which the supply that can fill this demand must have been allocated or demand pegged.
Note

LN uses this characteristic to find a matching supply for this demand.

LN uses the Reference field to record an internal reference.

You can use a reference code to keep a collection of parts linked together, even if they follow different routings, for example, if some of the parts are transported to a subcontractor to be returned later.

Use Unallocated Inventory
If this check box is selected, Enterprise Planning can use unallocated inventory to supply the demand. Enterprise Planning uses allocated inventory first. If there is not enough allocated inventory, Enterprise Planning also uses unallocated inventory.

If this check box is cleared, Enterprise Planning can use only allocated inventory to fill the demand.
