Automating ASCP Exceptions Reporting: Transitioning from PWB to Blitz Report Alerts

Avatar photoCustomer Questions & Answers 6 replies

Our planning team is drowning in ASCP exception data derived from the Planner Workbench (PWB), which is difficult to sort and analyze efficiently. We need to move towards proactive planning by exception, automatically identifying critical messages like ‘Past due orders’ or ‘Orders with compression days.’ The standard export process is slow and yields unformatted CSVs. How can Blitz Report be implemented for scheduled delivery of targeted ASCP exceptions data directly to our planners?

    The traditional method of exporting exceptions from the PWB is inefficient and results in poorly formatted CSV files, creating a significant burden on planners. The Blitz Report solution offers detailed ASCP Exceptions reports designed specifically for managing this data overload, delivered in seconds to a correctly formatted Excel spreadsheet.

    We need this reporting automated. Can the reports be scheduled and delivered as alerts, perhaps isolating only the most urgent exception types?

  • Support Enginatics

    Yes, since Blitz Reports run as standard Concurrent Requests, they can be scheduled for periodic execution, allowing the output file containing the exceptions to be emailed to the relevant planners as an alert. You can configure the parameters to filter for specific exception types such as Past Due Orders or reschedule messages, ensuring the planners focus only on critical signals.

    We noticed that issues often trace back to incorrect master data setups. Can we leverage auditing with Blitz Report to prevent future planning errors?

  • Support Enginatics

    Absolutely. You can implement master data auditing reports using Blitz Report to pinpoint item attribute setup errors that might lead to planned order calculation issues. This capability helps planners proactively address root causes and enhances plan reliability.

    Furthermore, non-technical planners can easily configure their own report column layouts using Blitz Report’s folder-style technology, maximizing usability and saving IT effort.
