Monitoring delivery schedules - RSS950

The autostart job 'Monitoring Delivery Schedules' (RSS950) monitors Customer Delivery Schedules that are expected to be received through M3 EDI Solution within a specific time interval.

The monitoring is based on partner parameters created in 'Settings - Partners' (RSS015). Through field 240-'Delivery schedule interval' and field 255-'Latest received delivery schedule', (RSS950) determines if a delivery schedule from a specific partner is overdue. If this is the case, an application message is sent informing the responsible user about the situation. The application message sent is 507-'Expected delivery schedule not received' and it has to be enabled in 'Settings - Application Messages' (CRS424) and in 'Partner. Define Application Messages' (RSS017). The application message 507 can be monitored through 'Application Message. Open' (CRS420).

Once a new delivery schedule is received through the M3 EDI Solution, field 255-'Latest received delivery schedule' is updated with date and timestamp. The message flag indicating that a message has been sent is also reset. Once this update is performed, (RSS950) will once again monitor the partner and send a new application message when the number of days and hours in field 240-'Delivery schedule interval' has passed.

(RSS950) does not use a regular ASJ table as input for processing. It uses the master table ORSPPT that is created through 'Settings - Partners' (RSS015).
