Traffic lights - MRP

Question

Can I change default traffic lights setting?
How?

Answer 1

Traffic Lights can be defined.
You can use the exception groups to define under which conditions materials are indicated by red, yellow, or green traffic lights. Example: You want all materials, whose dates lie in the past, to be indicated by a red traffic light.
The definition of traffic lights applies to both types of list.
Prerequisites-
You have accessed the material list in collective access, or the MRP list or stock/requirements list for a material.
In case of individual lists: you have displayed the material tree.
Procedure
1. Choose Green Dot
The system displays the Define traffic light dialog box.
2. Enter the number of workdays for the parameters Days' supply, 1st receipt days' supply and 2nd receipt days' supply, and under which circumstances the materials are to be displayed with red, yellow, and green traffic lights.
You want the traffic light to be red when the days' supply for a material is <= 0, yellow when the days' supply is > 0 and <= 10 days, and green when the days' supply is > 10 days.
Enter:      
Color     Days’ supply
  Red        0
Yellow     10
Green      999,9
4. Use the exception groups to define under which conditions materials are indicated by red, yellow, or green traffic lights.
