Documentation

Definition

Specifies that the system is to choose only the materials with the stipulated traffic-light status for the evaluation.

Use

If you set an indicator, the system chooses only those materials that had the selected traffic-light status at the time of the last evaluation for the evaluation of the range-of-coverage data. Note that this traffic-light status may vary from the current planning situation because here the system checks the status as at the time of the last execution of the report.

If you do not set an indicator, the system chooses all materials. This leads to a longer runtime of the report because in this case the system has to evaluate the planning situation for all materials.

Dependencies

Example

If you set the indicator 2 (Take Traffic-Light Status Red Into Account), for example, the system chooses only those materials that were already critical (red traffic light) at the time of the last evaluation for the evaluation of the range-of-coverage data. Critical means that the range-of-coverage values for these materials have fallen below the limit value that you set in the evaluation profile for range-of-coverage data.
