Searching for Information 

Use

Prerequisites

  • You are in the material list, the MRP list, or the stock/requirements list.
  • For searching in the tree: you have displayed the material tree in the form of a worklist tree.

Features

Searching in the Material List or in the Worklist Tree

  • Search in the materials (according to name, range of coverage, exceptions, traffic lights and, in the material list for the MRP lists also according to processing indicator)
  • Search according to exceptions ( in the material list for the MRP lists, also according to new/old exceptions)

The system only displays the exception messages that actually appear in the materials from the material list or from the worklist tree. The system also displays how often each exception message appears.

  • Search according to MRP elements

If you are in the material list, the system selects the materials, which it has found, and goes through the list until the first material that it has found is at the top. If you choose , the system goes through the list until the next material that it has found is at the top.

If you are in the worklist tree, the tree is shortened so that it only includes the materials that meet the search criteria.

If you, as the MRP controller, are looking for materials with new exceptions in the material list for the MRP lists, the system selects all materials that had new, unprocessed exception situations in the last planning run. If you are searching for materials with unprocessed MRP lists, the system selects all materials, for which you have not yet set a processing indicator.
