System and method for filtering exceptions generated by forecasting and replenishment engine

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• generating an exception object data record when an exception occurs during processing of a forecasting and replenishment business application, the exception object including a validity period and an identifier of a portion of the business application triggering the exception, wherein the validity period further includes a request to temporarily disable exception object reporting and a resubmission date for the exception object,
• posting the generated exception object data record to an exception-collecting process when the resubmission date of the validity period of the exception object data record has passed, and the exception object includes the identified portion of the business application triggering the exception;
• determining, from the exception-collecting process, whether the posted exception object data record is held temporarily or persistently;
• displaying the posted exception object data record determined to be held temporarily;
• and
• storing in a database the posted exception object data record determined to be held persistently.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory connected to the processor, the memory contain a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• generate an exception object data record when an exception occurs during processing of a forecasting and replenishment business application using a processor, the exception object data record including a validity period, business attributes, parameters, a priority, an exception type, and a business application that generated the exception,
• include the generated exception object data record in an output during the validity period;
• and
• responsive to receiving a request to temporarily disable exception object reporting, the request including a resubmission date and an exception object criterion corresponding to data in the generated exception object data record, temporarily remove the generated exception object data record from the output until the resubmission date is reached, at which time the generated exception object data record is re-included in the output, wherein the received selection criterion is one of a defined user role, a business area, or one or more specific value constraints defining the at least one business exception object record.

A computer-readable storage medium tangibly storing a plurality of instructions, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the steps comprising:

• generating an exception object data record when an exception occurs during processing of a forecasting and replenishment business application, the exception object data record including a validity period and an identifier of a portion of the business application triggering the exception, wherein the validity period further includes a request to temporarily disable exception object reporting and a resubmission date for the exception object,
• posting the generated exception object data record to an exception-collecting process when the resubmission date of the validity period of the exception object data record has passed, and the exception object includes the identified portion of the business application triggering the exception;
• determining, from the exception-collecting process, whether the posted exception object data record is held temporarily or persistently;
• displaying the posted exception object data record determined to be held temporarily;
• and
• storing in a database the posted exception object data record determined to be held persistently.
