Communication
In this activity, you make the settings for
external scheduling of the order.
The following remote
function modules, which define the interface
parameters, are available as a template for the interface
description:
- PM_ORDER_EXTERN_SCHED_APPOINT
- PM_ORDER_EXTERN_BOOK_DEFAULT
- PM_ORDER_EXTERN_SCHED_DIALOG
- PM_ORDER_EXTERN_SCHED_DEFAULT
You can change the descriptions of the function
modules.
When you call up a function, the system
displays the standard name of an RFC destination in the
Destination field. The recipient can be an SAP System or an external
system. You define the program name in transaction
SM59.
Standard
Settings
The following predefined values exist that
specify the time, at which the system should call up a particular function
module.
- A: For scheduling
proposals
- B: When saving
Here, the system transfers the data asynchronously to the external scheduling
system using a transaction Remote Function Call (TRFC). The TRFC ensures that
the dates are only executed once.
- D: For scheduling in dialog with
external scheduling
For example, when creating or changing orders online, the scheduling can be
performed for external scheduling with dialog.
- S: For scheduling without dialog with
external scheduling
For example, when a maintenance plan is called up, the system generates the
order. It is not possible to select from different dates, only one date can be
agreed.
- R: When reading the technician
assignment in the graphical monitor

Notes
You do not have to enter a function module for
each predefined value. The use of function modules is dependent on your
scenarios.
SAP does not offer any function modules other
than those supplied in the standard system.
