This function enables you to make Customizing settings that allow the notification type to be changed when users create and change maintenance notifications on the SAP Web UI for Plant Maintenance.
You have activated the business function Simplified Management of EAM Functions 5 (LOG_EAM_SIMPLICITY_5
).
You can allow the notification type of maintenance notifications to be changed if the original notification type and the target notification type have the same notification category. You allow this in Customizing for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service
under . In the SAP standard configuration, you can allow the change between the following notification types of notification category PM Notification
:
Maintenance Requests
(M1
)
Malfunction Reports
(M2
)
Activity Reports
(M3
)
Note
In Customizing, you can basically also allow the change between notification types of notification category Service Notification
. Working with service notifications is, however, not supported on the SAP Web UI for Plant Maintenance.
If you use Customizing settings to allow the notification type to be changeable, you can change the assigned notification type when creating or changing maintenance notifications on the Web UI. To assign a different notification type, choose
and enter the new notification type in the popup. The input help only contains the notification types that you have allowed in Customizing.In addition, you can only change the notification type of maintenance notifications if the notification has not yet been completed.
When the notification type is changed, the system does not assign a new notification number and all data of the original notification type is retained (such as reference objects). This also applies even if specific data is irrelevant for the target notification type. To override this behavior, implement the Business Add-In (BAdI) Checks for Extended Change of Notification Type
(BADI_IQS0_NOTIF_TYPE_CHANGE
).
Note
If you wish to be able to change the notification type on the Web UI, you have to allow the change of notification types in the SAP GUI transactions as well (iw21
, iw22
, iw51
, and iw52
). To do this, activate the business function Enterprise Asset Management Part 7 (LOG_EAM_CI_7
).
