ECM Proactive Error Notification

The ECM email proactive error notification module is supplied as an ECM function that runs within the ECM Dispatch Manager Adapter. Each time the Dispatch Manager processes it retrieves the last Error incident number that had been notified, it then checks the ECM error log file for any new Error messages. A report containing all errors will be sent to each of the pre defined email addresses configured within ECM when new errors are detected.

The email will contain the same information that is available on the detailed view on the ECM error log.

The ECM email error notification function will also send an OK Status message to each of the administrators every 24 hours if the Dispatch Manager is functioning normally. more detail........

BPCS Inventory Level Alert

The BPCS Inventory Level Alert module is supplied as an ECM function that runs within the ECM Dispatch Manager Adapter. Each time the Dispatch Manager processes it reads through the BPCS Inventory database to calculate the Onhand balance for the defined Item/Warehouse combinations. If an Onhand balance falls below the Notification Quantity defined within ECS/ie then an Alerting email is sent to the recipients.

The email will detail the Item, Warehouse, Calculated Onhand Balance and Notification Quantity.

The Alert will be sent once every 24 hours if the ECM Dispatch Manager is functioning normally. more detail........

BPCS Orders on Credit Hold Alert

The BPCS Orders on Credit Hold Alert module is supplied as an ECM function that runs within the ECM Dispatch Manager Adapter. Each time the Dispatch Manager processes it reads through newly entered BPCS Customer Orders, if any have been placed on Credit Hold a report will be compiled and sent to the recipients defined within ECS/ie Message Queue Monitoring.

The Automated BPCS Orders on Credit Hold Report will detail the following:

BPCS Order Number
Order Entry Date/Time
Customer Number
Customer Name
Order Value
Currency
Customer's Credit Limit
Customers Current Balance

The Alert will be once for each batch of new customer Orders entered with a status of Credit Hold if the ECM Dispatch Manager is functioning normally. more detail........

Outbound Purchase Orders

The Outbound Purchase Order module is supplied as ECM function for the standard ECM Outbound Purchase Order Adapter (ECM612).

ECM Rejected Orders email notification

ECM Rejected Orders email notification is an ECM function that searches for orders that have failed ECM Order entry validation. The order is converted into an email and sent to the designated customer services contact to be input manually. The error notification/message is removed from the ECM notification log. This is a useful function to avoid IT departments having to deal with non technical related problems, such as invalid product codes and locations issues, which form 95% of order entry failures. This function is also useful where certain orders cannot be handled automatically, such as kits/assortments and configurable items. more detail........
