Creating a Notification for the Order 

Use

If you determine during the processing of an order that maintenance tasks need to be performed, for which a notification does not yet exist, you can enter a new notification from the object list for the order using the Change order function. This notification is automatically assigned to the order when you save it.

For more information about the functions in the object list for the order, see PM - Maintenance Orders.

Procedure

  1. Depending on the application component in which you are working, choose:

The service or maintenance processing screen appears.
  1. Choose Orders ® Change.

    2. The Change Order: Initial screen appears.

  2. Enter the number of the order and choose Continue.

    3. The Change Order: Central Header screen appears.

  3. Choose Objects.

    4. The Object List for Order screen appears. Several blocks are displayed on this screen. Each block contains fields for the notification number and the reference object numbers.

  4. To create the new notification for a particular reference object, you can enter its number in the corresponding fields for the object list. It is then copied automatically to the new notification.
  5. Choose Edit ® Create notification. A dialog box appears, in which you enter the required notification type.
  6. Choose Continue. The Create Notification: <Notification Type> screen appears.
  7. Enter the notification in the usual way and save it.

Result

When you save, the order and notification are saved simultaneously. The notification is copied to the object list for the order. If you have entered a reference object in the notification, this is copied with its number and short text to the object list.

The notification obtains the status "Assigned to order".

If you used this option to assign the notification and order to one another, you can delete the assignment (refer to Deleting an Assignment Between Notification and Order).
