concerning The INDICATOR "REVENUE Posting Allowed": We Have Set The Indicator In The Order Type.

it Is Copied From The Order Type When You Create New Orders.

but The Orders That Already Exist Are Not CHANGED When We

set This Indicator At A Later DATE In The Order Type.

we Have Old Orders And We Need To Use Dp90 For These Orders.

is It Possible To Change This RULE?

The simple solution is to close the old orders, and re-create new ones.

i Have Several Related Questions About The SUBJECT Matter:

the Order Table By Direct WAY Iaol Is Fl/equ Table.

how Can We Accomplish This? How Do I Update Notification?

Solutions are presented in the same number they were posed:

1. The only nice way is through the cancellation of business completion and TECO. CHANGE the location, and then TECO, and business completion again.

This can be done with a CATT. A disadvantage could be that the reference DATES has the work order or notification change.

The quick and dirty solution is a direct update in table ILOA.

Another way is to talk to your ABAP team about “direct database updates” on table ILOA.

2. That will depend on the extent of PMIS usage. If you don’t use PMIS then it won’t matter.
3. When you create an Order/Notification, the location data is automatically copied (once only) from the FLoc/Equi. This copy function does NOT occur automatically again.

this Bapi Ends With A Blank/zero Return Value But No Updating Is Performed.

how Do I Fix This Problem?

You need to perform a “commit” FUNCTION after the BAPI FINISHES.

i Am Working With Cs. When USING Iw51 To Create A Notification For A Customer I Get The Following Information Message:

"the Combination Of Organizational Data Is Not Correct".

the Message Number Is: Qm 054

no More Information Is Given. My Parameters In My Own Data Are The Same As Other Users And They Do Not Experience Any PROBLEMS With Iw51.

the Customer BELONGS To Sales Area 7000, Dist. Channel 10 And Division 10. But I Never Get That Far That I Can Choose A Customer. I Just Get An Initial Screen, While Others Go Directly Into The Notification.

why Is This Happening And How Do I Resolve This?

why Is This Happening And How Do I Resolve This?

I’m assuming you have entered equipment in the notification.

If so, ensure that the sale organization of the customer is the same as the sales organization in the equipment MASTER.

Verify if the customer belong to a sales area (sales order, dist channel, division).

Check this VIA TCode XD03.

can I Maintain Two DIFFERENT Units In A Measuring POINT?

for Example:

i Entered All Readings In Amperes. Is It Possible To Maintain Readings In Volts At The Same Time? If So, How Do I Go About This?

You can have as many measurement points as you need.

You will need to create another measurement type (characteristic) to accommodate the other unit of measure.

Create a new measurement point with a new unit of measure and then LINK the new point with the old one using TRANSMISSION of measurement reading. This will resolve your problem.

i Have A Client That Wants To Have An Equipment Class Automatically DEFAULT To The Equipment Master During The Create Stage. The Client Also Requires That When The Equipment Is EITHER In Display Or Change To Display An Information Warning Message Prompting The User To REVIEW The Classification And Its Associated Characteristics.

i Have Checked The Configuration For Classification And Pm And Haven't FOUND Anything That Would Satisfy The Client's Requirements. This Appears Be A Custom Change To The Code.

how Do I Fulfill All The Clients Requirements?

You could create equipment with reference to another (SAY dummy master equipment).

Then utilize user-exit IEQM0003 (Additional checks before equipment update) to pop-up your warning message.

You could further investigate the following:

Use IEQM0003 to kick-off a batch program or workflow to re-enter the equipment (after initial save) and add data.

Create new event/method for business object EQUI (TCode SWO1).

what Is The BEST Process To Issue Stock To An Order?

for Example If An Order Needs The Stock Not To Be Detailed WITHIN The Original Order, How Does The Store Clerk Add This Additional Stock To The Order?

obviously, It Needs Accounting For And Has An Impact On Mrp. I Assume There Is A Quicker And Easier Way Of Adding It Without The Store Clerk Going To CHANGE The Order, Adding The Stock, Then Going To Migo And Doing An Issue From Reservation Etc.

is There A Way To Configure This To Be More Efficient?

Check if it gives the hint of issuing the material which is not reserved in the WORK order.

what Is The Process For MAINTAINING CATALOG A Profile For Each Equipment?

we Have A General Catalog Profile For All The Equipment. We Are Interested In Having A Display Of Catalogs For The Selected Equipment In Notifications.

is It Possible To Maintain Catalog Profiles For Functional Locations?

CREATE a catalog profile and ASSIGN it to your equipment in the Organization tab. This will then be copied to the Notification when the equipment number is entered.

The same works for Functional locations.

what Is The Purpose Of Catalog Tab In Task List And Pm Order?

i Find This In The Component Overview Of ORDERS And Task Lists. We Maintained Boms For Equipment. We Use CATALOGS For Notification.

how To Use Catalogs In The Component Overview Of Order?

do We Need To Do Some Settings In MATERIAL Master?

If you are referring to the Catalog button at the BOTTOM of the Components tab, then this is used to link to an internal/ external internet site where you can order spare parts.

Have a LOOK in the PM IMG for OCI (under orders).

the Accounting Indicator Entered In The Header Of The Service Order Applies To All Labor And Parts Confirmed And Issued. We SEE The Accounting Indicator When We Do Dp91. If We CHANGE The Accounting Indicator From Say 01 (billable) To 03 (warranty) This Transfers Into The Repair Order (seen On The Sales B TAB), But The Costs Still Post To 01.

question

Why Do The Costs Not REPOST To The Correct Accounts Based On The Accounting Indicator In Dp91?

Check your pricing procedure to see what account key (ActKy) is set for the condition type (the standard is KBM1). From there, you can proceed to correct any ERRORS.

question:

if Yes, How Can I Accomplish This?

• Use a filter to display only what you need in the hierarchy;
• From the hierarchy display, right mouse click on the NODE you need to copy;
• From the CONTEXT options dialog, select ‘Copy sub hierarchy’;

TEST this thoroughly before using in your Production system as it is possible to CREATE part of your structure. If SAP encounters a problem with an OBJECT, the rest of the structure will not be created.

i Have Created A Purchase Requisition Through A Maintenance Order By Using Non-stock Item Category. Later, I Decided That I Don't WANT That Material For That WORK. So I Ticked On Clear Reservation At The Time Of Confirmation In Iw42. When I Tried To Tech The Maintenance Order, I Am Getting The Following Error Message:

"final Issue For The Reservation Item 0001 Is Not Completed, TECO Not Possible Message No. Me303"

question:

how Can I Do Tech Without The Need Of That Material?

i Won't Create A Po NORMALLY If I Do Clear Reservation At The Time Of Confirmation. Automatically, The System Will Delete The Pr. It's Happening In Ides.

It sounds very much like a User Exit (Enhancement) may be active in your system. The TECO User Exit to consider is: IWO10004.

Use Transaction CMOD so you can see if there is such an exit possible.

Drop down on the project field to search for a project associated with indicated exit. Search by “Information System” and at the bottom of the selection screen there is an Icon called “All Selections” [Shows a little + sign too].

Now once you have expanded the selection criteria insert the indicated User Exit Number in the “Enhancement” field. Execute and wait to see if there is a project associated with the exit at TECO. If there is one, select it and select the DISPLAY ICON.

Once the data is shown there is a “Project Status”. If this is “Active”, then you have an active exit on TECO.

I suggest you have an ABAPer look at the code associated in the “Include” of the exit.

I suspect there is code checking a flag on the Materials or something.

i Need To Transfer The FL And Eq.

question:

can We Copy A Functional Location With Its Equipments From One Plant To Another Plant? If So, Then What Do We Need In The Target Plant?

You can copy the FLoc structure via TCode IL04; however you cannot copy the equipment.

At first, create in the customizing all the objects depending on planning and MAINTENANCE plant: Company AREA, planer group, and location.

Than, create the new work center, and cost center for the new plant.

Download, from the functional location, all the data depending on planning and the maintenance plant.

Do the same for the PIECES of equipment if they are not installed on functional location.

At the first level of the FL, change the maintenance plant. Normally, the system changes all the data on all the SUB level and EQ. Now you can reload on FL and/or EQ all the data depending on planning and maintenance plant.

i Need Some Confirmation Information On Maintenance Plan Scheduling.

question:

if You Are Using Maintenance Plan And Makes Use Of Shift Factors, What DATE Is Used In The Adjustment Of The Maintenance Plan Which Is Considering Previous Order?

is It The Teco Date On The Order Or Is It On The Confirmations Date?

i Have Heard It Is On The First Confirmed Operation But Cannot Believe This, UNLESS It Is Adjusted With Every Sub-sequent Confirmation.

i Do Not Have Access To A System Currently. Is There An Explanation On The Written Principle To Plan Adjustments When Using Shift Factors?

You know that really annoying pop-up box that appears when you TECO and order? The one with the reference date and time?

This is the information used as a BASIS for the shift factors.

In the newer versions, there are two reference dates and TIMES. One of them is specifically used for maintenance PLANS.

The new functionality is available from version 4.7 onwards. You need to activate this for each of the maintenance plan category.

i Have CREATED Meas Pt With Counter (ik01) Created Meas Document Ik11 Then SCHEDULE Thru Ip10.but Not Getting DUE Order List In Ip24

First of all, you cannot get 800 hrs per month...

For counter based... it will schedule in two DAYS... like.. days and hours... but.. if U schedule in IP10..it will take the annual reading and schedule the dates.. So.. if the running hrs didn't reach, but the date reached... so.. it will open a order...

Give the annual reading according to the running hrs of the DG.. then u will get.

Basically work center category decides the CAPACITY (means ability to do work). The category defines the activity type for costing and scheduling the categories MAINLY we come ac-cross in the production are labor and machine. Hence to define labor cost, machine cost and setup cost we define work center category to create work center and we enter defaults THEREIN. For a period of time if there are no much CHANGES we generally prefer production line, and if there are much changes in the production we prefer activity type for individual ORDER which we call production order. By this you can understand cat type 001 for machine and cat type for labor.

Work center category used to define which screen selection & field selection for a particular work center.
