Documentation

Definition

Indicator that activates the alerts for Kanban in the alert monitor.

Use

Kanban alerts are generated for the following situations:

  • If an error occurs during a change of status of a kanban. The kanban is assigned the special error status 9.
  • If the maximum number of kanbans that may be empty is exceeded (empty means the kanban statuses "Waiting", "Empty", "In Process", or "In Transport").
  • If a replenishment element is deleted (e.g. transfer order). The system changes the status of the kanban to '1' (Waiting)
  • If a replenishment element is delayed.

You activate the alerts in the individual replenishment strategies. You activate the alerts for delayed replenishment elements under Logistics -> Production -> Kanban -> Evaluations -> Delayed Replenishment Elements.

A separate category has been defined in the alert monitor for the kanban alerts (transaction ALRTCATDEF).

You can also define an alert category of your own and use it with the Business Add-In BADI_KANBAN_MODIFY_ALERTS.

If you want an error message to be issued instead of an alert for one of the above-mentioned error situations, choose Production -> Kanban -> Status -> Switch Off Alerts for Error Messages

in Customizing. You can activate the alerts for delayed replenishment elements on the initial screen for the display of delayed replenishment elements via the Send Alerts indicator. To do so, you must have previously activated the alerts for the replenishment strategy without having switched off the alerts for the relevant error message.
