Features

Mass Change of Maintenance Plans and Items

In list editing for maintenance plans and maintenance items (transactions ip15 and ip17), you can carry out mass data changes for one or more selected maintenance plans or items. You choose the fields for the mass change in a popup and enter the appropriate values. You can also define that only specific field values should be replaced by new field values. The system displays in which documents the mass change could be successfully carried out.

The business add-ins (BAdIs) BAdI: Mass Change of Maintenance Plan Header Data (MPLAN_HEADER_MASS_CHANGE) and BAdI: Mass Change of Maintenance Items (MPLAN_ITEM_MASS_CHANGE) are available for making customer-specific enhancements to the mass data change function.

For more information, see Mass Change of Maintenance Plan Data and Mass Change of Maintenance Item Data.

New Row Counter in ALV Lists

You can display the number of entries listed in Plant Maintenance and Quality Management reports. If you choose to display the Count. (counter) table column, the system displays the total number of displayed entries in a separate row at the beginning or at the end of the table, as well as above the table. When you select a table column and group according to the values in that column by choosing Subtotal, the system displays the total number of entries as well as the subtotals for each group in the Count. table column. This function is only available in ALV lists.

Creating Follow-On Orders

You can create maintenance orders as follow-on orders for an order or order operation. When you create a follow-on order, you create a relationship to the reference order or operation and you can display this relationship in the document flow. You can create follow-on orders directly (transaction iw31), when changing or displaying an order (transactions iw32 and iw33), or when creating a confirmation (transaction iw41). You can display the relationship between the preceding order and the follow-on order in a hierarchical structure.

When you create a new order as a follow-on order for an existing order, the system copies the header data of the existing order to the new order. You can use checkboxes to specify whether the system should also copy operation data, components, relationships, and settlement rules to the follow-on order.

Note Note

You can only display this relationship between preceding and follow-on orders if you are using the enhanced document flow functions in the maintenance order. The enhanced document flow has been integrated into this business function, but is also part of the business function Enterprise Asset Management Part 6 (LOG_EAM_CI_6).

You can also create follow-on orders with the BAPI BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN.

You can only create follow-on orders for orders that have been released.

End of the note.

For more information, see Creating Follow-On Orders.

Preprinting and Reprinting Maintenance Orders

You can print shop papers before the maintenance order is released and after it is completed. If you allow shop papers to be preprinted and reprinted by making the appropriate Customizing settings, you can print shop papers for orders that have the status created or technically completed, for example. The printing status in the order tells you if the shop papers belonging to the maintenance order and operations have been preprinted, printed, or reprinted. This function is available in the SAP GUI transactions and on the SAP Web UI for Plant Maintenance.

For more information, see Preprinting and Reprinting Maintenance Orders.

Additional Order Statuses in Order List

You can set the statuses Cancel Technical Completion and Do not execute for one or more orders in the order and operation lists (transactions iw38 and iw37n).

For more information, see Processing Orders Collectively.
