Key features:  Node Hierarchy Tree   The node hierarchy tree contains all of the predefined nodes representing different object classes. The tree is used solely for navigation purposes. You can use the hierarchy tree to display object information for a specific node in the upper view area, based on selection criteria. For each warehouse, monitor, and user, if you close the monitor by choosing Exit, the system remembers the nodes that you expanded for the next time you access the monitor. This means that you don’t have to expand the same nodes again when starting a new monitor session. The warehouse management monitor contains nodes for object classes relating to the following:   Documents such as warehouse requests, warehouse orders, warehouse tasks, and physical inventory documents   Processes such as stock and bin, and resource management (see Resource Management)   Alerts such as overdue waves (see Wave) or overdue deliveries without goods issue or goods receipt     Drilldown Capabilities After displaying in the upper view area object information for a node, you can drill down and display the object information for its lower-level nodes, using designated buttons. You can similarly drill down to the lower-level nodes from the lower view area.  List and Form Views By default, the system displays object information in the list view. The list view is displayed in an ALV grid and offers all standard ALV functionalities, including sorting, filtering, and printing. You can change to the form view for selected objects if you want a more focused and detailed view. You can page through the form view for each object you selected. By default, the form view is displayed in an HTML viewer. Note that you can change the default form view to a popup window in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under Monitoring  Warehouse Management Monitor  Define Monitors. Displaying the form view in a popup window ensures theming support (for example, a high-contrast theme) and right-to-left language support (for example, Arabic and Hebrew). Note that the form view is available only on desktops, for usability reasons.  Methods After object information is displayed in either view area, you can call methods to perform actions on selected objects. For more information about the available methods, see Monitor Methods.  Automatic Refresh You can set a default automatic refresh for all displayed nodes in the warehouse management monitor. You can also set an automatic refresh for specific displayed nodes. You specify the refresh interval in minutes and it's specific to your user. For more information, see Automatic Refresh.  Customizing Options   You can use the standard SAP monitor or you can create your own monitor in Customizing. For more information about creating your own monitor, see Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under Monitoring  Warehouse Management Monitor.   If you use the standard SAP monitor, you can tailor it to your needs by either creating variants for the standard nodes or creating new variant nodes based on the standard nodes, as follows:   Creating variants for the standard nodes enables you to use predefined selection criteria while running a session of the monitor. The variant-node assignments are lost when you close the monitor session.   Creating variant nodes enables you to create your own nodes, which are based on the standard nodes, but with specific selection criteria, or with a specific layout. Variant nodes are always available when the user uses the monitor.     There can be a high memory consumption in the warehouse management monitor per user because of, for example, queries resulting in large result lists or an extended use of the warehouse management monitor. To counteract this, you can use BAdI: Monitor Memory Consumption Check to enforce an automatic restart of the warehouse management monitor. For more information, see Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) for Extended Warehouse Management  Monitoring  Warehouse Management Monitor  BAdI: Monitor Memory Consumption Check.
