This iView provides you with a list of planned maintenance jobs to be processed, as well as the information you need to complete them.
For more information about job lists and working with job lists, see Job List.
The jobs in a job list are created from maintenance orders and maintenance notifications either in the SAP ERP back-end system or the relevant Web Dynpro applications. Maintenance orders and notifications are therefore the reference documents for jobs.
Note
If a maintenance notification exists for a maintenance order, then only one job is created and the maintenance order is the reference document. However, if a job based on a notification has the status Job in Process
and an order is subsequently created for the
notification in the back-end system, then the reference document associated with the job changes from notification to order. The user is notified of this on creation of the order in the back-end system.
The following table shows the prerequisites that an order or a notification must meet in order for a job to exist in the job list:
|
Reference Document Type |
Prerequisites for Job Creation in Job List |
|---|---|
|
Order with operation (an order cannot be created without an operation) |
|
|
Notification without tasks |
|
|
Notification with outstanding task |
|
|
Notification with task released |
|
Note
By configuring the shop papers of orders and notifications to print to the job card, you specify that you do not want the print function to physically output the shop papers as a spool request via the SAP spool system but that the contents of the shop papers are stored to a database table instead.
When you choose to print the order or notification, Job Card
is specified as the output device for the relevant shop papers in the print dialog box. You cannot change this entry and it does not refer to an actual output device.
When the end user (the maintenance worker) selects the corresponding job in the job list and chooses to display the job card, the system retrieves the data of all the shop papers that were printed using the print function and generates a single PDF document.
For more information about how to configure shop papers to print to the job card, see Display Job Card.
Note
In addition to the above prerequisites, an order or notification must meet the selection criteria of the job list POWL query in order to appear as a job in the job list.
The integration of an external risk management system, such as SAP BusinessObjects Risk Management, into this iView allows you to visualize the risks associated with a job through the display of safety symbols. For more information, see SAP
BusinessObjects Risk Management Integration in the Business Package for Generic EAM Functions
.
The integration of WCM into this iView allows you to access the work permits of a WCM-relevant order, as well as perform certain functions of work permit management. For more information, see Work Clearance Management Integration in the Business Package for Generic EAM Functions
.
You can access this iView from the Job List
workset.
From this iView, you can display objects associated with a job in the relevant Web Dynpro applications, for example, reference document, reference object, and job card.
You can also access the Asset Viewer from this iView.
You must define and configure queries for the job list POWL.
For more information, see Configuration of POWLs for Job List and Confirmation List.
When you start to process a job in the job list, its status must change to Job in Process
. A job must have this status before it can be confirmed. You can specify how and when the status of a job is set to Job in Process
in Customizing
for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service
under .
The following options are available:
You can change the status manually by choosing the Start Processing
pushbutton. This is the default setting.
It is possible to change the status of a job manually in the following locations:
Job list
You can change the status of one or more jobs in the job list by selecting the required job or jobs and choosing Start Processing
. Note that if you select multiple jobs and one job already has the status Job in Process
, then a warning
is displayed and the job in question is not changed.
Job card
You can also change the status of a job by first selecting it in the job list and choosing to display its job card, and then choosing Start Processing
. This is possible as long as the job is not already in process.
The system sets the status when you select a job in the job list and display its job card.
The system sets the status automatically when you use the print function to transfer the order or notification data to the job list using the output device Job Card
. Note that in this case, the Start Processing
pushbutton is not
available in the job list.
In the job list, it is possible to assign or reassign responsibility for a job. If you do not want users to be able to perform this function, then you must remove authorization for transactions IW22
and IW32
assigned to the relevant
authorization role. You do this in the role administration tool (transaction PFCG
).
