Purpose
With this app, you can monitor all the materials in a selected area of responsibility.
This includes make-to-stock and collective requirements materials, make-to-order and engineer-to-order materials, as well as
materials for direct production and direct procurement.
You are provided with a list of all materials with a net requirement segment or individual segments.
These materials might have coverage issues according to a specified shortage definition.
The shortage definition you choose contains a set of rules that the system uses for calculating the material shortages.
These rules define the scope of the shortage calculation, meaning the supply and demand elements to be considered and the conditions
that have to be met to be a relevant shortage.
This app provides you with the information that you need to be able to react to the shortage situation on time, meaning that you can
avoid disruptions to production or to the fulfillment of customer demands.
From this app, you can directly navigate to the Manage Material Coverage app to view details of the selected materials and check
different solutions.
