i Have Some Issues Pertaining To Work Order. The Users Technically Complete The Work Orders And Settle It. However, They Come Back After A Few Days And Cancel The Technical Completion And Post Against The Work Order. This Must Be A Posting A Problem As It Is Not Posting To The Correct COST Center.

i Have Two Questions About This:

Answers are given in the order they were ASKED:

1.  Authorization object I_VORG_ORD is checked through:
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT ‘I_VORG_ORD’ ID ‘BETRVORG’ FIELD BETRVORG ID ‘AUFART’ FIELD AUART.

Where BETRVORG equals ‘BUTA’;

But, also in TECO, people can consume (unplanned) materials or confirm work hours; you might want to double check if SAP PM Interview Questions - 70 - blocking the un-TECO would resolve your problem.

There is an alternative solution:

Utilize a user-exit to pop-up a warning/error message when creating a confirmation document.

Have a look at TCode SMOD with a search criteria CONFPM*;

It’s just an alternative option to investigate. The first solution was better but it wouldn’t work for GOODS movements via IW41, but not for POs, SES, ETC.

User-statuses could also cause problems e.g.

1. PR created in REL status
2. PO created in REL status
3. Order TECO’ed and user-status blocks goods movements;
4. Now try to GR the PO - you will now get a status error.

At some level you need to control processes via training/ education etc.

2. You can do this by using a user profile, in which a status is activated automatically by the TECO business PROCESS.

To this user status, you can block ‘actual postings’;
