Use

With the Plant Manager and the Production Supervisor roles, you can use alert management:

If the KPI exceeds the threshold value for the yellow and red areas, you will be alerted. You can use the following media to receive an alert:

  • E-mail
  • SMS
  • Fax
  • Alert monitor on Plant Manager or Production Supervisor page in the portal

The alert contains information about the KPI (technical name), the value and unit of the KPI, and the date and time of the alert.

SAP provides the following alert categories:

  • SAP_EPM_KPI_ALERT: Alert for KPI
  • SAP_WC_SID_CLT_DUMMY: Alert for machine breakdown (template for creating alerts)

Requirements

The following prerequisites must be met for an alert to be dispatched when a KPI exceeds the relevant threshold values:

  • You have set up and configured a central alert server (contact your system administrator).
  • The alert category SAP_EPM_KPI_ALERT or SAP_WC_SID_CLT_DUMMY must exist in the central alert server system (see IMG activity Define Alert Categories).
  • You have activated one of the alert categories when personalizing the KPI (in the iView, choose KPI Watch List in the Portal Personalize KPIs -> Activate Alerts.)           
  • You have determined the type of media (E-mail, SMS, FAX, Portal) to be alerted with (in the iView Alerts in the Portal, choose Display Details -> Configuration for Alerts).

Note:

If you have maintained user-specific threshold values the alert is triggered if the KPI exceeds your threshold value, or the value lies within each range.

If you have not defined any user-specific threshold values, an alert is triggered if the company-specific threshold values are exceeded, or the value lies in the company-specific range.
