The system alert and background processing routines facilitate any actions needed to feed into the Buyers Control Center and Exception Control Center. The system has a defined set of routines and the update interval required to perform the exception and replenishment calculations. In addition, order point and line point adjustment routines receive updates during system register processes. Receipt of items will adjust the order point based on lead time changes for example, and occur automatically at preset intervals. The background processing agent is responsible for handling these updates and providing the data to the system.
The System Alerts Dashboard is used to review the alerts that a user is subscribed to and manage alert subscriptions. In the browser in the lower portion of the screen, the system displays the alert code and description and number of subscriptions for each.
You can highlight an alert line in the browser and select Manage Subscriptions to access the Manage Alert Subscriptions (ALE105) screen where you can add a subscription for an alert type.
You can select Alert Details to view the Details for System Alert screen, which displays the Alert code and name, an explanation of the alert and the condition that generated it, where the alert is delivered—to the user, the Exception Control Center program or both, and the available subscription values. Once you have reviewed the alert detail information, click OK to exit the screen and return to the System Alerts Dashboard.
