View the technical deviation details of an expedite item

A technical deviation is a measured difference between the required and available value. For example, if you need a material of Grade A standard, but the supplier has ready stock of the same material with a different grade, then, the technical deviation is the product condition or a slight change from the documented standard.

Before you view the technical deviation, ensure a technical deviation is defined for the expedite item in the s50020 Followup on Request for Quote screen.

1. Navigate to the s51004 Expediting screen.

2. To refresh the screen, select the F5 key.

3. In the Expedite Header grid, select a row.

4. In the Expedite Items grid, select the Exp Items tab, and then select a row.

5. On the s51004 menu, in the View Information group, select Technical Deviation.

   The d0277 Technical Deviations dialog appears.

   In the Material Deviations grid, view the technical deviation details such as technical deviation text, approval status, supplier, and so on.

   If no technical deviation exists for the selected expedite item, a pop-up window appears. Read the message and select Ok.
