On the Supply Lines Overview page, the deviations in supply type chart show a supply line status of exception. What action must you take?

Question

Options

• AThis indicates that supply line quantities are available but the quality is not up to the mark, so the
• BThe indicates that supply line has an exception in manufacturing goods, so the supply line must be
• CThis indicates that supply line quantities are less than required, so additional quantities must be
• DThis indicates that supply line quantities are not available, so inventory must be procured.

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  84% (26)
• D
  10% (3)

Explanation

Option C is correct because a "deviation" in the supply type chart with an "exception" status specifically signals that supply line quantities fall short of what is required - a quantity gap that demands corrective action by sourcing or ordering additional stock. Option A is wrong because quality issues are handled through quality management workflows, not supply line exception flags. Option B is wrong because manufacturing exceptions are tracked in production orders, not supply line deviation charts. Option D is wrong because "quantities not available" would typically trigger a stockout or shortage alert, not a deviation/exception status - an exception implies quantities exist but are insufficient relative to demand.

Memory tip: Think of "exception = shortfall exception" - the supply line exists and has some quantity, but it's throwing an exception because it doesn't meet the required amount. Link it to the word "deviation": the actual quantity deviates downward from the planned quantity, so you must top it up.
