Monitoring#

Execution monitoring is used to get a quick overview of the execution status of the design and development process.

For this purpose, there is the design monitoring for the master data view and the disposition monitoring for the design + development order view (E+D orders). In both monitoring functions, the scope of monitoring can be defined specifically according to articles, sales orders and E+D orders and projects in the case of MRP monitoring.

The MRP monitoring also lists the finished parts lists and operation lines, but compares these with the components and operations of the E+D order or production order. Additionally, information regarding date and quantity as well as procurement is displayed.

Construction Monitoring#

Design monitoring allows you to monitor the status of your production master data. Design monitoring lists the finished parts lists and operation lines and displays their processing status.

Note

Please note that the system takes into account the inventory data, if available, when determining the data.

You can call up the "Design monitoring" via the user search.

General#

In the "General" area, you can first define what should be checked and how.

Field Description
Sales order filter If you want to check the production data for an entire sales order, maintain the order number here. The system determines all articles entered in the order.
Article filter Enter here the article no. of the article to be checked.
Calculate work plan Use this field to specify how the system should take the routings into account:

No:
Routings are not taken into account in the calculation and are therefore not included in the result.

Show primary AG
Routings are included in the calculation, but secondary operations are not shown.

Display primary and secondary AG
Routings are fully considered in the calculation, primary as well as secondary operations are shown.
Structure check only Activate the switch if you only want to see items with notes in the result. This means that you will only see lines whose BOM levels are greater than the value in the "Max. finished BOM level" field in the Design and Development setup.

Lines#

The main fields of the display lines are explained in more detail below:

Field Description
