AirSupply supports a secure and stable supply chain.
AirSupply
The Status Monitor for AirSupply includes the main supply chain processes:
- Forecast
- Order Lines NOP (New Order Published)
- Order Lines OPEN
- Order Lines RECEIVED
- Despatch Advices: We count the DA items.
- VMI Materials
There are transaction specific filter options:
- Creation Date: when the transaction was sent out
- Process: e.g. ASN, Order, etc.
- Invoice Type: e.g. Commercial Invoice, Credit Note, etc.
customer specific filter options (based on Control Point information):
- Legal Entity: Customer corporation units
- Buyside Plant Code: Customer internal number of plants
- Buyside Plant Country: The country the plant is located
- Buyside Plant: The name of the plant
and supplier specific filter options:
- Supplier ID: Customer internal supplier reference id
- DUNS: Dun & Bradstreet Number as public identifier for suppliers
- Supplier Name: The company name of the supplier
Counting System
- Schedule Agreements (formerly called blanket orders) are Orders and part of the Order count.
- One Forecast object is for one Material and one Supplier to Customer relation. AirSupply keeps just the last most recent Forecast Object.
- For Forecast, Order Lines NOP, Order Lines OPEN, Order Lines RECEIVED and Despatch Advice we do count transaction lines to make the usage and the correlations clearer.
- One Order includes 1:n schedule line(s).
- The counter is for schedule lines in status NOP which is the PO schedule line in status as freshly received/updated from customer.
- The counter is for schedule lines in status OPEN which is the PO schedule line in status Confimed by supplier.
- The counter is for schedule lines in status RECEIVED which is the PO schedule line in status as completely received by customer and no more active.
- An Order Change does not create a new object, it updates the order itself, so we do not count Order Changes.
- We do not count Partially Received Order Lines because we want to have a KPI for PO schedule lines which are in other words "closed" "no more active".
- For Despatch Advices we count the Despatch Adivce items.
- For VMI we count VMI Demands in order to show a history.
Further AIRS specific information:
- Please take into account that not all customers have all target processes incl. response processes like Despatch Advice or Invoice in place.

Transaction History (per Month)
This stacked column chart is an overview of the development of transactions over the year accumulated on a monthly base.

There are two x-axis on this chart:
- On the left side you find the axis labeling which gives information about the amount of the several transaction types and belong to the column bars.
