Use
The following BAdI and the reports mentioned below provide you with examples on the basis of which you can carry out your own implementation for the triggering of alerts in the system. The recipients of the alerts can be determined via a rule. The alerts are managed by the alert management (ALM) facility. This enables you to specify how the recipients of alerts are to be notified (e.g. via e-mail, fax, or text message (SMS)). In addition, an alert monitor is available in ERP (transaction ALRTINBOX) and in the portal in the role of production supervisor, with which you can display and process the alerts.
The alerts are generated in the language that is defined as the language key in the plant.
The following example implementations are available:
- In the BAdI MD_MRP_LIST there is an example implementation for the method EVALUATE_MRP_LIST. With this implementation, you can trigger an alert if it is discovered during the material requirements planning run (MD02) that the range of coverage (days' supply) of a material lies below a certain threshold value. More information on this implementation is available in Note 947983.
- A further option is offered by report RMDDSUPPLY01. If you run this report, the system checks whether the current stock day's supply of the selected materials lies below the threshold value you have defined in the evaluation profile for range-of-coverage data. This profile is valid for one MRP group in each case. This MRP group must be assigned to the materials in the material master in order that an alert can later be triggered. SAP recommends scheduling the report RMDDSUPPLY01 periodically in a job (with the aid of transaction MDDS). The system can then regularly determine and check the stock days's supplies of your materials. For the system to then trigger an alert for a critical material, you must additionally run the report RCO_PRPL_CHECK_FOR_ALERTS.
For more information, refer to Note 948348.
Requirements
- In Customizing for Material Requirements Planning, you have created an evaluation profile for range-of-coverage data and defined in it the threshold values in the case of which a range-of-coverage alert is to be triggered.
- You have assigned the evaluation profile to the MRP group or plant.
- You have added the alert category PRODUCTIONPLANNER with the descriptions to your system.
- You have defined the recipients of the alerts. You define the recipients of the alerts in rule processing (transaction OOCU_RESP).
- If you want to use new alerts, you must create a new message for the new alert in transaction SE91. Alternatively, you can use an already existing message for the alert text.
Standard settings
Activities
- Create an implementation for BAdI MD_MRP_LIST and program the method EVALUATE_MRP_LIST according to the correction instructions in Note 947983.
Example
You want to create your own alerts for which the recipient can be determined via the rule RULEPLANNER. Your own alerts can then be triggered via the function module CO_PRPL_CREATE_ALERT in which you can define the new alert message. When you have implemented the two BAdIs MD_MRP_LIST and MD_SR_LIST_EXTRACT, you can use the following functionality:
When carrying out the material requirement planning run (MD02) or when executing the range-of-coverage report RMDMRPEXTRACT, the system checks whether or not the range of coverage (days's supply) of a material falls below a certain threshold value via BADI MD_MRP_LIST or MD_SR_LIST_EXTRACT. If so, the alert category PRODUCTIONPLANNER is invoked. The system determines the recipient and sends an appropriate alert.
