In the SNP planning book, when we load a selection there is a Processing Indicator field that shows up in the selection screen. Can someone enlighten on how this field works? What controls the checkbox on the screen ?
Hi...in the shuffler you can set the processing indicator field for each record by right click and using 'Set Process indicator' after the selection is loaded. I'm not sure of this significance but i guess its something the planners might use incase they need to denote that the product has been already worked on. Same way you can delete the processing indicator checkbox.
You should be able to switch it on and off from the planning book shuffler. You can choose the ones that are marked by using the field processing indicator = X option in the shuffler
You can use the processing indicator to select location products that you have already processed. This is useful if you have manually changed some values and dont want to do mark it.
You could then select location products in the shuffler by processing indicators, for instance. The indicator is reset during the next SNP run.
You can see the processing indicator settings in the Product view if you go to settings >> Processing indicator. the help reads as follows
********************************
Settings for Processing Indicator
Use
The setting for the processing indicator determines when the processing indicator for products or resources are deleted (reset). It can be set separately for products and resources. Depending on the chosen setting the system proceeds as follows:
Reset on new logon:
The processing indicator is reset on each new logon. As long as no new logon takes place, the indicators are retained (for example, when the user exits the transaction).
Reset on new day:
The processing indicator is only valid on the day on which it is are set (the system uses the time at which the user leaves the transaction as the key date).
Only reset manually:
The processing indicator can only be reset manually by the user, in other words, it is retained regardless of any new logons/days.
You should note that not all products/resources may be visible in the product planning table or product overview if you use the processing indicator in the extended selection. To display all products/resources, regardless of processing status, make your selection without using the extended selection.

Ps: I think this is also used in the alert monitor where the "take note of" flag is realted to this
