Planning Log in PP/DS (extended)

Use

The Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling(PP/DS) planning log contains messages that the system creates during interactive planning or background planning. You can use the planning log to analyze planning problems and identify the causes of the problems. As of SAP APO 4.0, the following enhancements are available for messages and the planning log.

Exception groups

As of SAP APO 4.0, you group messages in an exception group that the system creates when planning for specific exception situations. The exception group is used as a filter and sort criterion for the planning logs in PP/DS and enables a selection of planning logs according to the planner's area of responsibility. SAP delivers standard exception groups in which the messages are grouped according to the various steps in the procurement planning process. For example, there are exception groups with messages for the procurement quantity calculation or for source determination. A default exception group contains all error and termination messages that are not assigned to another exception group. You define exception groups in Customizing for Production Planning under Application Logs for PP/DS -> Maintain Exception Groups.

Messages for procurement planning in the Alert Monitor

When you maintain exception groups, you can define for each message if the system should create a database alert of the type exception in procurement planning for the message. You can display database alerts in the Alert Monitor. You can only create database alerts for messages that result from planning with procurement planning heuristics and that refer to a specific pegging area.

Selection and filtering of planning logs

As of SAP APO 4.0, extended selection and filter options are available for planning logs. You can then select planning logs according to

• Whether they were created in interactive planning or in background planning

• Which types of messages they contain; for example, termination messages or warnings

You can use various new filter criteria to filter logs from the selection of logs that you have defined using the selection criteria:

• Planning version

The system only displays a log if it has been created for one of the specified planning versions.

• Exception group

The system only displays a log if it contains messages that belong to the specified exception groups.

• Context information

The system only displays a log if it contains messages that the system has created in the specified context. The heuristic is an example of context information. You can filter the logs according to whether they contain messages that have been created during planning with a specific heuristic. Other context information refers to the pegging area. You can select logs, for example, that contain a message for a specific location product or that have arisen during planning for a specific location. The application that creates the message determines whether context information on the pegging area is available for a message. This context information is not available for all messages.

The filter criteria is also available in the list of messages for the selected logs. If you filter messages, you can only see the messages that correspond to the filter criteria. However, the connection to other messages may be lost during the filtering process. To restore the connection for a message, you display the planning log for the message. Select the message and choose Technical Information -> Display Planning Log.

Log overview

Until now, the messages in the log overview were grouped on two levels according to application and processing step. As of SAP APO 4.0, there are additional, application-specific hierarchy levels that group related messages.

Log for the last planning run

As of SAP APO 4.0, you can call up the planning log for a selected product for the planning run in which the product was last planned. To do this, in the SAP Easy Access menu choose Production Planning Reporting -> Logs -> Log for Last Planning Run. The function is available for production planning runs with procurement planning heuristics. Instead of showing all messages that have arisen during product planning, the system shows for the log number the message with the highest priority. You define the priority of a message in Customizing for exception groups.

You can branch to the planning log by double-clicking on the log number. You can also navigate from the log list to the product view, the product overview, or the product planning table.

New menu paths

Up to now, you called up the planning logs in the area menu for Production Planning under Planning Run Reporting. As of SAP APO 4.0, this menu entry is called Logs.

Effects on Customizing

Check the standard exception groups and define your own exception groups, if necessary, in Customizing for Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling(PP/DS) under Application Logs for PP/DS -> Maintain Exception Groups.
