Situations panel
The Situations panel on the Planning Board screen is used to identify, analyse, and resolve situations, such as Too Early, Too Late, and Inflow Shortage. A list of situation cards is displayed when you click the icon on the screen. This panel updates in real-time as situations are resolved or new situations are detected. See, Situation card.
This information is displayed for each situation on the panel:
- Situation type
- Impacted entity (batch or order)
- Severity
- Context information
- Situation code
The header of the Situations panel displays the total number of situations in the selected work area. You can perform these actions on the panel:
- Search for situations based on entity code, resource, situation type, or date.
- Navigate to related batch or order when you click a situation code corresponding to each situation. The related batch or order is highlighted on Planning Board.
- Filter situations based on specific batches, time periods, or resources.
Note: If filters are not applied, the Situations panel displays all situations in the work area.
The Situations panel displays only batches or orders that are specific to the selected work area. A batch or order is considered in the work area when the start time is equal to or later than the work area start time, or the end time is equal to or earlier than the work area end time.
If a related batch is assigned to a resource that is not included in the current resource view, the Planning Board screen marks the order as late and related batches are not displayed. In this case, when you click the order code for a situation, related batches are not highlighted as the related batch is not part of the current view. To view the related batch, you must perform these actions:
- Identify the missing resource by using the product code.
- Update the current view and add the missing resource.
