| # Exception Message Types by Planner (cprao1110m000) Use this session to define and maintain planner-specific exception message settings that determine: Which types of exception messages are generated for the planner involved. Under which circumstances these exception messages must be generated. Specify the exception message types required for the planner involved, and define the settings for each exception message type. For one exception message type, you can define different settings for various cost-price ranges. For example, you can use different tolerance levels for high-cost orders versus low-cost orders. In the Minimum Cost Price field, you can specify a minimum cost price for each exception message. By leaving the Planner ID field empty, you can define a general set of exception message types. This general set is used for those exception messages that are not directed to a specific planner. Note If you want to generate exception messages for a specific planner, you must first define a set of exception message types for this planner. If you do not, ERP Enterprise does not generate the exception messages for this planner. Related topics Exception Messages in Enterprise Planning Types of exception messages To use an overview session To maintain records in an overview session Planner ID The employee number of the planner whose set of exception message types is shown. Note As a rule, a exception message is directed to a specific planner if the exception message refers to an item for which an employee code has been entered in the Planner field in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) If this field is empty, a general set of exception message types is displayed, which is used for all exception messages that are not directed to a specific planner. Minimum Cost Price Currency for Exception Messages The currency that ERP Enterprise uses to express the minimum cost price, which you can define in the Planning Parameters (cprpd0100m000) session. If you defined a different currency for the item in the Items - Costing (ticpr0107m000) session, ERP Enterprise converts this currency to the curency for the minimum cost price. Exception Message Type Specify the type of exception message that ERP Enterprise can generate during planning. exception message types inform the planner about the current planning process. Minimum Cost Price The minimum cost price to which the exception message type on this line applies. If the Minimum Cost Price field for a exception message type is blank, you can specify a value. If you do so, Common only generates the corresponding exception message type, if the Standard Cost of the ordered item lies above the minimum cost price. Exception Message Priority The default priority of the exception message type. You can use this priority, for example, to display the exception messages in order of importance. Allowed values Enter a number from one (highest priority) to 100 (lowest priority). Horizon The signal horizon of the exception message type on this line. Note For some exception message types, the horizon has a fixed value. The scope of the horizon is so large that in actuality, the generation of exception messages of these types is never constrained by the horizon. The exception message types involved are the following: Fatal Error No Supplying Relationship No Supplying Business Partner Item Error No Items for Plan Unit Planning Failed Note For pegging signals, enter a value that is lower than the value of the Pegging Horizon field in the Planning Parameters (cprpd0100m000) session. Otherwise, false Pegging: No Planned Stock exception messages and Pegging: No Planned Material Stock exception messages can be generated. Tolerance (Prc) The tolerance percentage applies to exception messages that involve a comparison of quantities or percentages, and that indicate that a certain actual value is higher or lower than a certain norm value. The tolerance percentage involved is a percentage of the norm value. If you define a tolerance percentage for a exception message type, ERP Enterprise will ignore minor deviations from the norm value when it generates exception messages of this type. Example The exception message type is Inventory > Maximum, the maximum inventory is 50, and the tolerance percentage is ten. In this case, a exception message is generated only when the projected inventory is higher than 55. The exception message type is Order Quantity < Minimum, the minimum order quantity is 20, and the tolerance percentage is 15. In this case, a exception message is generated only when the order quantity is lower than 17. The tolerance percentage applies to the following exception messages types: Inventory < Safety/Plan Inventory > Maximum Forecast <> Actual Demand Inventory > Inventory Plan Order Quantity < Minimum Order Quantity > Maximum Overloaded Resource For all other exception message types, the tolerance percentage is disabled. This includes the exception message types Workload < Norm and Workload > Norm. For these two exception message types, however, you can define a tolerance percentage in the Resource (cprpd2100m000) session (in the Workload Tolerance field). Note In the case of the exception message type Forecast <> Actual Demand, the demand forecast is used as the norm value, and the tolerance percentage applies in both directions (below and above the demand forecast). Tolerance (Days) The tolerance in days applies to exception messages that involve a comparison of dates, and that indicate that a certain date is earlier or later than a certain norm date. The tolerance in days is expressed in working days. If you define a tolerance in days for a exception message type, ERP Enterprise will ignore minor deviations from the norm date when it generates exception messages of this type. Example The exception message type is Finish Date > Requirement Date, the requirement date is Monday, April 10, and the tolerance in days is two. In this case, a exception message is generated only when the order's end date is later than April 12. The exception message type is Reschedule Out, the requirement date is Friday, August 25, and the tolerance in days is three. In this case, a exception message is generated only when the order's end date is earlier than August 22. The tolerance in days applies to the following exception message types: Transfer Late Reschedule In Reschedule Out Order within Safety Time Order in Order Interval Order in Extra Lead Time Finish Date > Requirement Date For all other exception message types, the tolerance in days is disabled. Note For the Transfer Late exception message type, the tolerance in days is actually used as a special kind of time fence, to indicate when the order should be transferred. Note Order signals Maximum Number The maximum number of exception message of this type that ERP Enterprise generates for a specific item/planner combination. For example, if you set the maximum number of a specific exception message type to ten, only the first ten exception messages of this type are stored for one item (and for a specific planner). Note For some exception message types, the maximum number of exception messages is a fixed value. The extent of this value is so large that in actuality, the generation of exception messages of these types is never constrained by the maximum number. The exception message types involved are the following: Fatal Error No Supplying Relationship No Supplying Business Partner Item Error No Items for Plan Unit Planning Failed Disable If this check box is selected, no exception messages of the type specified are generated. Note Essentially, disabling a exception message type has the same effect as deleting the record for that exception message type. However, disabling the exception message type has the advantage that you can easily re-enable it. Auto Process If this check box is selected, ERP Enterprise can process the corresponding exception message automatically in the Process Exception Messages (cprao1220m000) session. You can only select this check box for the following exception message types: Cancel Reschedule In Reschedule Out ERP Enterprise only generates the exception message types mentioned above when you carry out order-based planning. After you carried out order-based planning, and ERP Enterprise generated cancellation and/or rescheduling exception messages, you can see these exception messages in the Exception Messages by Planner and Item (cprao1125m000) session with the corresponding Auto Process check box selected.
