Graph section
In this section of the Supply Network Workbench (cprrp8352m000), you can view the graphical representation of the pegging tree. These are the relations which are created using the Generate Pegging Relations option. The graph displays how planning has linked the demand and supply of different orders to each other.
Different order types are categorized by different icons. A legend is provided at the bottom of the graph to identify the type of order based on the icons.
The supply network is shown on a timeline. The initial time frame is displayed based on the defined user settings. The root of the pegging tree is always displayed on the screen when its first loaded.
You can zoom in and out on this time frame to view more of the network. You can also drag the time frame left or right by scrolling.
You can hover the pointer over the order to view the tooltip that displays the additional order information at a glance. The order information includes the order number (and line), item, status, quantity, start and finish date.
Another tooltip is also displayed when you hover the pointer over an alert icon. The list of different messages provided for the order together is displayed with the alert icon.
When orders are linked to each other based on the pegging relations between the demand and supply transactions, this is represented by a line between the blocks of those orders. The line always starts from the end of one order connects to the beginning of another order.
When there is a pegging relation with Excess (order type is Not Applicable), this relation is not displayed as a relation, but is displayed as an information message on the order which causes the excess.
For the upstream supply network, there are (+) and (-) options at the beginning of the orders using which, the supply network can be extended or collapsed. For the downstream supply network, there are the (+) and (-) options at the end of the order.
You can rest the pointer on an order to view the order details in the tooltip.
