Use of Sort Field in equipment Master

Dear All
What is the use of SORT field in Equipment Master Record

Dear Kumar Sahoo,
This field is for identification purpose and generally give similar technical objects
example:if you have so motors like lathe and drilling and lifting and milling etc thease all motors are same motors and if you want see the list you can give sor name then see, otherwise you have to give each number and find out
some more benefit is you can list sorting and unic identification of similar objects
generally using internal purpose, i mean there is no relation of external procurement or warranty or any outside of company activiteis.
Hope this may helps you

Use of construction type field in Equipment master

Dear All,
What is the use of construction type field in equipment master and how can i use in plant maintenance processes or transactions
If possible give some examples.Also any one have some document or link related to construction type, kindly provide.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep

Construction Type is used for identify the equipments having similar construction of materials.
For examples: Identical Mechanical seal used in different pumps.
A BOM can be linked to a technical object in two ways:
By direct assignment: directly assigned BOM
If you create a bill of material directly for a technical object, it is assigned directly. If all the technical objects are identical in terms of structure, the BOM items are valid for all the allocated technical objects.
By indirect assignment: indirectly assigned BOM
For technical objects that have a material BOM - if you enter a material number in the Construction type field of a master record, the material BOM is indirectly assigned to the object. This is a good idea when a company has several identical technical objects grouped under one material number.

Po number field in Equipment Master

Hi All,
Can you tell me how i can include two fields in Equipment Master.
1. For PO Number
2. Po Line Item Number.
If there is no standard field, can you please tell me if there is any Additional Fields that i can use for PO number and Line Item number pls.
Also the Equipment Valid Date field needs to be changeable. Can you please advise a way to make this Field ITOB-DATBI changeable.
Thanks
Arun

Hi,
If you want PO and PO Line item to be included in the Equipment, you can create Characterics called Purchase Order and PO Line Item and then assign these characteristics to an equipment class (create one if you do not have an existing equipment class).
Assign this Class to all the equipment you want, then you can input the PO and PO line items values into the characteristics.
Cheers,
Joey

Dropdown in Manufacturer field in Equipment Master

Hi Experts
Manufacturer (HERST) field in Equipment master(IE01) is free text field of 30 characters.
We want to add dropdown to this field so that we could validate/select values to this field.
Is there a user exit or easy way to achieve this. I found a user exit IEQM0007 but it does not add a dropdown.
Your thoughts.
Thanks
Gaurav

Gaurav:
I saw this before. Actually, we pu a dropdown not only for the manufacturer, but also for the model. The problem is that i don't remeber wich u.e we used, but it's quite not difficult to abap programmer tracing it. Perhaps it could modify the field type, replacing it for some one with the dropdown propertie. You will have to use an Z table (and maintain it), so consider that also
Hope this help.

Sort field in equipment main screen

We have an equipment having some validity dates(Valid from: 20.11.2009 & valid to: 31.12.9999) . Whenever we enter sort field in the Location tab the validity start date changes to todays date (Valid from:10.06.2009). How we can avoid this changes of dates. What is relation of sort field with valid from date ?

Hi,
It appears you have the sort field marked as relevant for equipment usage period. This will cause a new usage period with valid from date to be set each time the value of this field is changed.
You can check customizing as follows:
Plant Maintenance and Customer Service
Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service
Technical Objects
   Equipment
   Equipment Usage Period
   Define History-Related Fields
The field to look for is EQFNR.

How to use Bar code field in Item master

Hi Experts
I want to know that How to integrate Bar code scanner data with SBO. Bar code contain many information like price, serial no., description etc . For example I want that when I read a barcode by barcode scanner it automatically update itemcode, description , price and serial no.
Thanks
regards
Gorge

Hello Gorge,
A barcode would ideally contain only an identification code and not other information. All such information like price, etc. should be fetched from a database, after reading the barcode, and identifying the item.
You can simply enter the barcode in the Item Master Data and than use the barcode field to identify the item in sales / purchase documents instead of itemcode or itemname.

Detail Sort Field in a Master Detail Report

Hello,
New Apex user here. I am working with version 4.0.2.00.07. I have created a Master Detail form, and everything is working perfectly. I have one additional requirement for which I can't seem to find a good method of implementation. The detail table contains a field which I need to use for sequencing the detail records in a specific order for a given master record (this field is not the primary key). Let's say the table field is called det_seq. My question is, what is the best way to have the next incremented number added to a new record when the user clicks the "Add Row" button in the detail region? So, for instance, if there are 5 existing detail records, I want the next record added with the "Add Row" button to default the number 6 into the det_seq field. Another desirable, but not absolutely necessary, feature would be to give the end user the ability to re-order the detail records, updating the det_seq field as they do so. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Mike

Hi Mike - welcome to ApEx!
Could more than one user add detail rows to the same master row at one time? If so, incrementing det_seq on a click of the "Add Row" button could create duplicate det_seq values:
User A clicks "Add Row" getting det_seq 1, and begins to enter data (doesn't yet save).
User B clicks "Add Row" on the same master record, getting det_seq 1, and begins to enter data.
User A saves, no problem.
User B saves, another det_seq = 1 is saved (or an exception is thrown if you've declared det_seq to be unique within a master).
If that could be an issue for you, one thing to consider is assigning the det_seq value from within a before-insert trigger so that:
User A clicks "Add Row" (det_seq is null), and begins to enter data.
User B clicks "Add Row" (det_seq is null), and begins to enter data.
User A saves, the before-insert trigger fires assigning 1 to det_seq.
User B saves, the before-insert trigger fires assigning 2 to det_seq.
As far as actually getting the next value for det_seq within a given master, here's one way (assume that :MASTER_ID is an item on the master-detail form that is holding the primary key of the master table, and that your child table also has this as a foreign key back to the master table):
SELECT NVL(MAX(det_seq), 0) + 1
INTO l_next_det_seq
FROM detail_table
WHERE master_id = :MASTER_IDThe NVL takes care of the case where there are not yet any detail rows (meaning that MAX would return NULL).
On the re-ordering feature - I can't give a lot of detail without trying it out for myself, but maybe something to look into:
- Put a couple buttons/images/links at the end of each detail row indicating "move up"/"move down".
- Create "move up"/"move down" page processes, and attach javascript to the buttons/images/links to fire them on a click.
- The page processes would update the clicked row's det_seq by swapping values with the previous row's det_seq ("move up") or next row's det_seq ("move down"). The special cases of course are when the first det_seq is being moved up or the last det_seq is being moved down and they have to loop around - all of the rows det_seq's then have to swap. I'd love to see that when you've got it going!
Hope this helps and I hope you enjoy working with ApEx,
John

FB03 display restrictions by using corporate group field of Vendor master

We had new requirement for the FB03 Transaction display.
1> In vendor master data we are assigning the Secure and non-secure for the corporate account group field. Based on the Secure and non-secure, we have to restrict the FB03 transaction display.
2> If itu2019s secure vendor, then no one should have authorization to display the documents belongs to these vendors of any transactions (Fb03 or FBL1N).
So based on this criteria we need to restrict the display for FB03 transaction.
thanks and regards
Prathap

Hello Pratap
Please seek help from your SAP BASIS
How it works is
1. You have a T code
2. You see which roles use it
3. Then accordingly you can tag that role to the User
4. Moreover when basis works they check in SUIM t code as to which roles the T code is tagged to and then they go ahead and assign the same to the user
5. There is another t code PFCG where they create z roles as well since standard roles are not used by them. And in this t code the authorisation objects are handled as well and profiles and roles are created. This is then tagged to a user.
6. then this authorisation is visible in SU01 in the user
Thanks and Regards

Change Sort Field in GL Master - Implications

Hi,
I would like to know if I want to change the Sort Key in my Reconciliation GL account will there be any imact of this.
If you can let me know what will be the impact will be help full.
Below is the example what I have change.
In my Customer Recon Account there was Sort key for Doc Number and Fiscal Year now I have change to Assignment Field.
Regards,
Kiran.
Edited by: Kiran C on Jan 25, 2011 12:55 AM

Hi Kiran,
1. The purpose of defining Sort Key is only to use automatic clearing and in most of the cases automatic clearing is not used for customers so no reason to worry.
2. You have changed sort key from Doc Number and Fiscal Year to Assignment which I do not see of no use at all because Assignment should never be a Sort Key because the Sort Key is defined to populate value of field into Assignment field itself.
So, now onwards your sort key will become void since you will have to enter value in assignment field manually.
Precisely, if you are not using automatic clearing for the customer, there are no implications.
Study your business processes.

Adding custom fields to Equipment master General tab ?

Hi Gurus,
I have requirement where in I need to add two custom fields in IE02/IE03.
Completed part :
1. The new fields are added in the EQUI table in CI_EQUI structure.
2. Created a project in CMOD and linked enhancement ITOB0001 to it .
3. Activated the User exits EXIT_SAPLITO0_001 and EXIT_SAPLITO0_002.
4. Logic in EXIT_SAPLITO0_001
E_SUBSCREEN_NUMBER = '1020'.
I_OBJECT_TYPE = '02'.
I_ACTIVITY_TYPE = '3'.
EQUI-zfld1 = I_DATA_EQUI-zfld1.
EQUI-zfld2 = I_DATA_EQUI-zfld2.
Logic in EXIT_SAPLITO0_002
E_UPDATE_DATA_EQ-zfld1 = EQUI-zfld1.
E_UPDATE_FLAGS_EQ-zfld1= 'X'.
E_UPDATE_DATA_EQ-zfld2 = EQUI-zfld2.
E_UPDATE_FLAGS_EQ-zfld2 = 'X'.
Now the place where I got stuck is do I need to create a subscreen to add these new fields in SAPLITO0 , 1020 screen ?
Do I need to create a Function group ? If yes how do I link these.
I think I need access to Edit from SE51.
I have browsed many threads but no luck.
Thanks
Navya.

No, just
Read carefully the SMOD enhancement documentation
During CMOD execution, double-click on one of the Customer-exit dynpro (first time, choice the first one, the other dynpros will be used later for other objects)
In EXIT_SAPLITO0_001, pass the dynpro number in export parameter (e.g. 1000 for first one)
NB: In this exit you receive I_OBJECT_TYPE as imported parameter to identify Object Type: '1' = F/L '2' = EQU '3' = SER (do not try to change it ) so include may start with a CASE I_OBJECT_TYPE. WHEN 'EQU'. E_SUBSCREEN_NUMBER = '1000'... ENDCASE.

Planner Group field in equipment master data

Dear All,
My client is having Maintenance dept. which is divided in to 3 sub departments like Mechanical, Electrical & Civil. By referring this I am going to create following Planner Groups.
I have decided to maintain following planner groupu2019s for planning & preparing maintenance tasks.
1) Head Mechanical
2) Head Electrical
3) Head Civil
In my case I am planning to maintain Planner Group at Equipment level. I am not going to maintain at Functional Location level.
My client is saying that they have many Equipmentu2019s for which Planner Group must be above 3 & few Equipments having Mechanical & Electrical Planner Group.
For example, Compressor is Equipment for that Mechanical & Electrical both is responsible for planning & preparing maintenance tasks. *So they wanted both Planner Groups to be maintained at Equipment level. But as per SAP standard you can maintain only one Planner Group at Equipment or Functional Location level.*
I have few questions in my mind related to Planner Group.
1) What is the importance of Planner Group?
2) If I have not maintained Planner Group at Functional Location & Equipment Level then what will happen?
3) Can I maintain Planner Group at PM Order level?
4) Suppose I have maintained Planner Group u201CHead Mechanicalu201D in Equipment but after some days there is some electrical maintenance is come up. Then I will create PM order for carrying out Electrical maintenance, in this can I able to change Planner Group from Mechanical to Electrical. But is this a correct way to change Planner Group in PM Order.
Regarding this query how I can convince to my client.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep

Sandeep,
I would suggest the structuring the system as follows.
          Mechanical (Work center)
                    MEng1 (Activity = Engineer name or Employee code)
                    MEng2 (Activity)
                    MEng3 (Activity)
                    MEng4 (Activity)
          Mechanical (Work center)
                    EEng1 (Activity = Engineer name or Employee code)
                    EEng2 (Activity)
                    EEng3 (Activity)
                    EEng4 (Activity)
          Civli (Work center)
                    CEng1 (Activity = Engineer name or Employee code)
                    CEng2 (Activity)
                    CEng3 (Activity)
                    CEng4 (Activity)
In a single order you can use different work center activities... ie. in a single order, you can use Elect Eng for some operations + Mech eng for some operations
Capture and seggregate the cost of each dept in the same order ie. Elect Labor cost, Mech labor cost in Cost tab
You can get the report work center wise and Activity type wise

BGM: Master Warranty sort field

Hi all,
I have search all over the place in order to know the function of the "Sort Field" in the Master Warranty. If I do have several counters, it stated that I can set priorities of my warranty counters by using free defined sort field.
But how do I use is and where does it reflect then?
I do attached the master warranty in my Equipment via IE02 and where does it display the priorities of my warranty counters?
I also do realize that the counter link AND & OR in master warranty can be use in order to stated that my equipment is still under warranty by line items or overall. This is very useful, however the icon of warranty check status in IE02, is changing from "not valid" icon to "valid" icon once click on warranty details. Something wrong isn't?
Hope all experts can help me on this. Thanks
Regards,
effie7am

Hi,
The sort field does not have any effect on the validity of the warranty.
The master warranty maintenance provides two tabs - services and count. For each service line you can have multiple entries, these are the conditions which may be linked with a AND or OR.
To use a vehicle as an example. If there is a 50,000 KM / 36 month warranty. This can be defined by creating one entry on the initial master warranty services tab. The two counters are added to count tab, the AND condition is selected. Once one of these counters is reached the warranty is expired.
If your vehicle comes with a further warranty (perhaps a 5 year anti-rust extension), you can add this as a second entry on the initial services screen. Now to start with both warranty items are valid, after 36 months the first item becomes invalid. Now item 1 is expired and Item 2 is still valid. At this point the complete warranty is only partially valid (yellow icon).
