Creating an Order Directly from a Notification

Use

You create an order for a notification if you want the following data for a notification (saved or unsaved) to be copied to an order to be created:

Reference object for the notification which becomes the reference object for the order
Descriptive short text
Planner group
Basic dates

Behind the number of the notification or order, you find a Change symbol, with which you can branch to the notification or order for further processing.

Procedure

Depending on the application component in which you are working, choose one of the following menu paths:

Logistics ® Plant maintenance ® Maintenance processing ® Notification ® Create (general)

Logistics ® Customer service ® Service processing ® Notification ® Create (general)

Enter the required notification type and choose Continue.

The initial screen for creating notifications appears.

Complete the screens for the notification. For more information, see Maintenance Notifications.

To create an order, you have the following options, which are distinguished by when the order is processed:

– Processing an order directly

Depending on the application component in which you are working, choose one of the following menu paths:

· Maintenance notification ® Order ® Create ® Direct

· Service notification ® Service order ® Create ® Direct

Complete the dialog boxes that appear as required and choose Continue.

The header data screen appears for the new order. You can now start planning the order immediately. After you have saved the order, you return to the initial screen for creating notifications.

Only when you save the order or the notification, is:

The order saved together with the (possibly still unsaved) notification

The link between notification and order saved

The notification number entered in the order header, if the notification had not previously been saved

Processing an order later

Depending on the application component in which you are working, choose one of the following menu paths:

· Maintenance notification ® Order ® Create ® In background

· Service notification ® Service order ® Create ® In background

Complete the dialog boxes that appear as required and choose Continue.

The system saves the notification and creates an order for it. You return to the initial screen for creating notifications. You see the number of the order created in the status bar.

You can select the order later in change mode and start planning the order.
