Define Field
Selection for Order Header Data (PM)
In this step you define the field selection for
the order header data.
When you call the hiring transaction, you see
two maintenance activities.
- the first maintenance activity refers to
maintenance of the order header data fields
- the second maintenance activity refers to
maintenance of the location and account assignment data fields.
Remember that you can process location and
account assignment data using an internal field selection
transaction.
When making the field selection for the account
assignment data, remember that this is used for several objects of the PM/SM
system.
For this reason, you should always take account
of the influencing values.
The following objects contain account
assignment data:
- reference functional locations
- PM orders and service orders
Recommendation
When maintaining the field selection, remember
that this refers to the field selection for a SUBSCREEN.
A SUBSCREEN is a screen that can be used at
various locations and is included in other screen templates. The account
assignment data screen is used in the objects listed above.
When you select the influencing fields, you see
in the list fields for various objects of the PM system.
In this way you can, for example, define that a
field selection with regard to location and account assignment data for
selected order types differs from that for certain types of functional
location.
Note
You should not change the field selection
depending on the called program for SAP standard programs.
General
Information on Field Selection
All screens, for which a field selection is
possible, are summarized into individual screen modification groups (e.g. all
detail screens for the confirmation of a maintenance order).
Modifiable and influencing fields are defined
for each screen modification group:
- For the modifiable fields, use indicators to
specify how the individual fields in the screen are represented:
- The field is ready for input (default
setting)
- The field requires an input (required
field)
- The field is only displayed
If, for example, in
the list and detail screens of the confirmation in the order, you specify that
the work center is a required entry, you must maintain the work center for all
confirmations.
- For the influencing fields, you specify how
the modifiable screen is represented in the screen, depending on a value (e.g.
that the work center is a required entry for a certain order
type).
