You can set the appearance of the tree panel according to your own preferences. These settings are stored and used when you open the tree again.

  4. Select an option from the Group By drop-down list to change the group-by criterion for the displayed agreements.

    By default, the records are grouped by none, which means the tree displays a flat list of the agreements. The available group by options are

    • Expediter

    • Inspector

Group by supplier

With this option, all suppliers with assigned agreements are displayed.

  1. Select a supplier

    All agreements assigned to the supplier appear on the summary panel with the agreement number, the short description, a timeline and the status.

    What does the timeline show?

    The picture below shows an example of the timeline.

    timeline

    The initial range of an agreement's timeline is specified by the earliest planned delivery date and the latest planned arrival on site date, which are calculated across all item shipments of the agreement. The earliest planned delivery date (1) is identified by the Delivery Date indicator in the routing method schedule; this date appears under the start of the timeline. The latest planned arrival on site date (2) appears under the end of the timeline.

    The current agreement status (3) appears on the left above the timeline, together with the related destination in brackets. The status is determined by the item shipment with the least progress, retrieved from the actual dates found in the corresponding routing schedules. The corresponding actual date (4), forecasted date (5), and planned date (6) are represented by indicators on the timeline.

    SHARED Tip Hovering over an indicator brings up a tooltip showing the date value.

Customize the expediting status

The expediting status of an agreement is displayed in the tree.

The status is identified by the CIP function M_PCK_EXP_CUSTOM.GET_EXPED_STATUS.

This function has the business object type (POH for agreement, or RELN for release note) and the primary key of the business object (p_pk_id) as input parameters, and it returns the expediting status (m_type_status) with the following information:

  • Status as free text. For example, 'Received' or 'Shipped'.

  • Color, in which the status is displayed on the tree. For example, purple, green, or blue.

  • Priority. The priority specifies the hierarchy of the status display in ascending order. For example, priority 1 is displayed on top of the tree, priority 2 underneath, and so forth.

The standard CIP delivered with the software retrieves the following values when called for an agreement:

  • Received, priority 2, green - at least one item shipment of the agreement is received (not all item shipments must be received). An item shipment is considered as received if its Actual On Site date is set.

  • Shipped, priority 3, dark orange - at least one item shipment of the agreement is shipped (not all item shipments must be shipped). An item shipment is considered as shipped if its Actual Ship Date is set.

  • RN (release note) complete, priority 6, blue - all item shipments of the agreement are placed on release notes.

  • IRC (inspection release certificate) complete, priority 5, plum - all item shipments of the agreement are placed on IRCs.

  • MCS (material certificate summary) complete, priority 4, purple - all item shipments of the agreement are placed on MCSs.

  • Undefined, priority 1, black - the item shipment status of the agreement does not match any of the aforementioned.

If the CIP is called for a release note, it retrieves the following values:

  • Traffic OSD, priority 1, blue - for the release note or any package or package item of the release note an OSD has been created by traffic that is not closed.

  • Site OSD, priority 2, blue violet - for the release note or any package or package item of the release note an OSD has been created by site that is not closed.

  • Invoice OK, priority 4, green - the invoice for all item shipments of this release note has been checked and marked as OK, that is, the Invoice OK check box is selected.

  • Packed, priority 5, cornflower blue - all item shipments of the release note with all their quantities have been placed on packages based on the release note.

  • B/L or AWB, priority 6, dark green - B/L or AWB is marked, indicating that a bill of lading or an air way bill number has been entered on any means of conveyance.

  • Approved, priority 7, orange - the release note is approved.

  • Undefined, priority 3, black - the release note status does not match any of the aforementioned.
