BAPI/FM Help Needed for PM Work Order Update and Notification create

Hi,
I am using BAPI - BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN to update the work order details and create notifications for the object list but i am getting errors in doing that.
IWO_BAPI 203 -Changing the execution factor in the BAPI is not supported
And i have to create notifications to each object in the object list. This BAPI is not supporting that.
So i used another BAPI BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE to create notification and passed the order number , counter etc to it but in the order it is creating a new row for that equipment and linking the notification to it.
Need some help on these.

Dear
1. If you want a Notification mandatory to be created for Order using IW31 you can once make this happen by User Status in Order ,   i would suggest if you are doing implementation better Use Order Types  which has got Notification integrated in it .
Check Order type PM05 in Ideas server you have PM05 Order with notification fields integrated , which created notification in Background when order is Created or released.
2.For Work Order B --> Notification A , Not Allowing I donot have any idea check whether is there any User exit from experts or ask ur Abaper

  • Help needed for report on tables vbak and vbap

    Hello,
    I needed help in one of my work issues, this is my first project and Iam still learning. kindly help.
    I was asked to take erdat,vbeln,posnr from selection screen and compare it with the data already in tables vbap,vbak. If the data
    already exists and exception needs to be raised saying that the 'data exists',but if the data is not present in the tables the
    tables have to be updated. This has to be done using function module only.
    Then I have to write a REPORT calling the above function module and finally displaying the number of records updated and the
    list of them.
    I have started writing a function module:
    FUNCTION z_tableupdate.
    ""Local Interface:
    *"  IMPORTING
    *"     VALUE(DATE) LIKE  VBAK-ERDAT DEFAULT SY-DATUM
    *"     VALUE(SALESORDERNO) LIKE  VBAK-VBELN
    *"     VALUE(ITEMNO) LIKE  VBAP-POSNR
    *"  EXPORTING
    *"     VALUE(EX_VBAP) LIKE  VBAP STRUCTURE  VBAP
    *"     VALUE(SYS) LIKE  SY-SYSID
    *"     VALUE(EX_VBAK) LIKE  VBAK STRUCTURE  VBAK
    *"  EXCEPTIONS
    *"      DATA_UPDATED
    *"      DATA_EXISTS
      SELECT * FROM vbak INTO vbak_wa WHERE erdat = date
                                        AND vbeln = salesorderno.
      ENDSELECT.
      SELECT * FROM vbap INTO vbap_wa WHERE posnr = itemno.
      ENDSELECT.
      IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
        ex_vbap = vbap_wa.
        ex_vbak = vbak_wa.
      ELSE.
        RAISE data_exists.
      ENDIF.
      sys = sy-sysid.
    ENDFUNCTION.
    How is the above code for function module, will this work??
    Now can I write a report to call the above function module and update the record?? if so, how to update ??? please help...Lots of thanks in advance.

    Hi
    Welcome to SDN forum
    Whay can't you write a simple report in SE38.
    why you are using Fun module
    Nothing wrong in it.
    But first become perfetc in reports in SE38 and then do using the fun modules
    write a simple select statement like
    SELECT AVBELN AERDAT BPOSNR BMATNR
    INTO TABLE ITAB
    FROM VBAK AS A JOIN VBAP ON
    AVBELN = BVBELN
    WHERE A~VBELN  IN  S_VBELN AND
                 A~ERDAT  IN  S_ERDAT AND
                 B~POSNR IN S_POSNR.
    IF SY-SUBRC <> O.
      WRITE: / 'No data found'.
    ENDIF.
    First write this in SE38 by defining a proper selection screen and internal tables
    then do as fun module
    see the doc for fun module
    Function Modules;
    Check this matter.
    Function Modules are Global ABAP programs created by SAP for reusable purpose.they have IMPORT,EXPORT and TABLE parameters, and EXCEPTIONS to through when error occurs.
    You can create them from TCode SE37.
    Go through the following doc:
    Function modules are cross-program, reusable procedures that are organized into function groups, and whose functions are implemented between the statements FUNCTION and ENDFUNCTION. Function modules and their interfaces are created in the Function Builder.
    Function Module Interfaces
    The parameter interface of a function module is defined in the Function Builder. It includes the definition of interface parameters and the specification of exceptions that can be triggered by a function module. The Function Builder automatically generates comment lines below the FUNCTION statement in the source code of the function module, which represent the interface of the function module with the following syntax:
    Syntax
    ... [IMPORTING parameters]
    [EXPORTING parameters]
    [CHANGING parameters]
    [TABLES table_parameters]
    [{RAISING|EXCEPTIONS} exc1 exc2 ...]
    The syntax and semantics of IMPORTING, EXPORTING, CHANGING, RAISING, and EXCEPTIONS mainly correspond to the definition of method interfaces with [CLASS-]METHODS. The additional option of defining table parameters using TABLES is obsolete.
    Interface parameters
    The interface parameters are defined on the relevant tab pages in the Function Builder.
    IMPORTING parameters are input parameters. When the function module is called, a suitable actual parameter must be specified for every non-optional input parameter. The content of the actual parameter is passed to the input parameter when the call is made. The content of an input parameter for which 'pass by reference' is defined cannot be changed in the function module.
    EXPORTING parameters are output parameters. When the function module is called, a suitable actual parameter can be specified for every output parameter. The content of an output parameter that is defined for 'pass by value' is transferred to the actual parameter if the function module is completed without errors. An output parameter that is defined for pass by reference is not initialized when the function module is called.
    CHANGING parameters are input and output parameters. When the function module is called, a suitable actual parameter must be specified for every non-optional input or output parameter. When the function module is called, the content of the actual parameter is passed to the input/output parameter, and when the function module is completed, the content of the input/output parameter is passed to the actual parameter.
    TABLES parameters are table parameters. Table parameters are obsolete CHANGING parameters that are typed as standard tables with a header line. If an internal table without a header line or a table body is passed as an actual parameter to a formal parameter of this type, an empty local header line is generated in the function module. If an internal table with a header line is used as an actual parameter, both the table body and the header line are passed to the function module. Pass by value is not possible in formal parameters defined using TABLES. Formal parameters defined with TABLES can be replaced by formal parameters defined with CHANGING. A local work area can be created for the internal table in the function module by using the addition LIKE LINE OF itab of the DATA statement.
    Exceptions
    The exception of a function module are defined on the Exceptions tab page in the Function Builder. Here you can select exception classes to define whether class-based exceptions are declared or non-class-based exception are defined. Class-based exceptions are represented in the above syntax by RAISING, and non-class-based exceptions are represented by EXCEPTIONS.
    The addition RAISING is used to declare class-based exceptions that can be propagated from the function module to the caller. Exceptions in the categories CX_STATIC_CHECK and CX_DYNAMIC_CHECK must be explicitly declared, otherwise a propagation can lead to an interface violation. A violation of the interface leads to the treatable exception CX_SY_NO_HANDLER. Exceptions of the category CX_NO_CHECK are implicitly always declared. The declaration of exceptions of the category CX_STATIC_CHECK is statically checked in the syntax check. For exceptions of the category CX_DYNAMIC_CHECK, the check is not performed until runtime. In a function module in which class-based exceptions are declared with the RAISING addition, the statement CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS cannot be used. Instead, the relevant treatable exceptions should be handled in a TRY control structure.
    The addition EXCEPTIONS is used to define a list of non-class-based exceptions that can be triggered in the function module using the statements RAISE or MESSAGE RAISING. Exceptions defined in this way - as with formal parameters - are bound to the function module and cannot be propagated. If an exception of this type is triggered in a function module, and no return value has been assigned to it with the homonymous addition EXCEPTIONS of the CALL FUNCTION statement when the call was made, this leads to a runtime error.
    Note
    For new developments after release 6.10, SAP recommends that you work with class-based exceptions that are independent of the function module.
    RFC is a technology which is used to access a functions (Modules) from
    the remote systems.
    If a function module is set as remote enabled which can be access from
    the remote system via RFC.Eg: U can access the Remote enabled function modules in ur VB,Webdynpro,Java,Visual composer program.
    A function module can be set as remote enabled by SE37->Go to ur FM->click the option Button "remote enabled".
    But Normal function modules can not accessd from the remote system.
    Good Example for RFC enabled function module is : BAPI(Business Application Programming Interface)
    Note: All BAPIs are Remote enabled but not all remote enabled function modules are BAPI.
    CALLING A FUNCTION MODULE:
    1)In U ABAP Editor --> Click "Patter" ---> Selection Option Button "Call Function"
    --> Write the Corresponding FM name --> Hit Enter
    2)The appropriate import ,export Parameters will be displayed in ur editor
    3)Pass the Values Here.

  • Help needed for Project Work

    +People..I am new to this forum and your help is absolutely essential as it for my project work. There are two questions in my project. This is the second one. The first question is at the following thread.
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5220057
    Thanks in advance..+*
    This is the Question
    Create a class ToyCollection that stores information about different toys in a toy shop.  The information to be stored about a single toy is,
    -         Toy identification as String
    -         Name of the toy as String
    -         Short description about the toy as a String
    -         Price of the toy as float
    -         Quantity of the toy in hand as short integer.
    This class contains following methods,
    -         Constructor method that assigns user input values to above mentioned variables.
    -         main ( ) method that creates array of 4 objects of ToyCollection class and that takes input for all above details from the user and
    calls method to check validity of Quantity and Price values. If all values are valid then create the objects and display the details
    for all 4 toys.
    -         Method that checks validity of quantity and price. If the quantity is 0 or negative then method should throw user defined
    exception with appropriate message and come out of program. Similarly if the price is 0 or negative then it should throw user defined exception with appropriate message and come out of program.
    -         Method that displays all details about a single toy in the following format, e.g. Here Total price should be calculated.
    Toy Identification                  :  S-1
    Toy Name                            :  Small Scooter
    Toy Description                    :  Ordinary 3 wheeler scooter
    Toy price                              :   650.50
    Quantity in hand                    :   3
    Total price of Toys               :    1951.50
    And i did the following coding
    import java.io.*;
    import java.lang.*;
    public class ToyCollection
         public int toyid;
         public String toyname;
         public String toydetails;

              toydetails = tdet;
         public void setToyprice(float tpri)
              toyprice = tpri;
         public void setToyquantity(int tquan)
              toyquantity = tquan;
         public int getToyid()

              BufferedReader br3=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
              String tdet=br3.readLine();
              a.setToydetails(tdet);
              System.out.println("Enter the Toy price");
              BufferedReader br4=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
              float tpri=Float.parseFloat(br4.readLine());

              a.setToyquantity(tquan);
              System.out.println("The Toy Attributed you entered are displayed below \n" + " ID :" + a.getToyid() + "\n " +" Name :" + a.getToyname() + "\n " + " Details :" + a.getToydetails() + "\n " + " Price :" + a.getToyprice() + "\n " + " Quantity :" + a.getToyquantity());
    I submitted the above coding and this was the response from the evaluator
    *"You need to create array of toys. You are accepting details of toy in a single line and your program ends."*
    Eagerly awaiting your reply at the earliest people.

    Hello, can someone guide me on how to purchase ExportPDF please? i'm currently residing in South East Asia and it doesn't allow me to purchase the software that i need for my work. Please guide me. i need help badly.

    Hi watanabei,
    Please see Countries where ExportPDF is available for purchase. - Adobe Community. It's necessary to have a credit card billing address in one of the countries listed in this document. If ExportPDF is unavailable to you, you may want to consider an Acrobat subscription, which would also allow you to convert PDF files to Word and other format. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

  • Automating the services for object for a work order

    Hi All,
    Can anyone post an ABAP code using which we can automate the process of creating a note for a Work order at the time of saving the work order. I need to create a note with the work order at the time of saving it. This note needs to be attached automatically. Can anyone help me with the code to do this?

    Uhm... If you want us to do your job, how much are you willing to pay?
    How is the note "attached"? If it's an attachment using GOS then the code has already been posted on SDN - look it up. You'll need to add it to the work order creation (I'm guessing there should be some kind of BAPI or FM).

  • Purchase and release order not allowed for TECO work orders

    Hi
    We are typically setting maintenance work orders to TECO once the physical work as been performed as that sets the reference date for showing the history of when the maintenance was performed, and when the maintenance call was completed. However, we have invoices that may come in significantly later than when the  physical work was performed.
    Once the order is in TECO a purchase or release order (for services against a contract) cannot be created for the work order. Additionally it appears that even if we have a release order,or purchase order, if it is not for the exact amount of the invoice the release or purchase order cannot be ammended - we get the sameerror mssage (BS007) as when creating a new purchase order for the TECO order.
    I had wondered about using BS22 to change TECO to continue to allow purchase  and release orders when the order is in TECO status.
    Any input on pros/cons or other approachs appreciated.
    Philip

    Thanks
    That was what I initially thought. However I was informed that if the invoice is not for the originally determined amount that to post the invoice means having to change the PO, and changing the PO appears to hit the same business transaction as creating a PO, and so we get the error mssage.
    The issue is that we may know we need to have services estimated at, say, $5.000. But we do not know what the actual final invoice will be. So the actual amount may end up being $4,500 or $5,500 as an example, and it may come ni late from the vendor. The Purchse Order side is not my expertize, but I am being informed that the invoice must match the PO amount, otherwise the PO must be ammended to match. As the order is in TECO, the user cannot amend the PO.
    I would be happy to know of other options, or at least good questions to ask. I want the end user to be able to post the invoice against the PO, after the order is in TECO, even it the invoice amount is not exactly the same as what was originally anticipated.
    regards
    Philip

  • Internal Order report for PM work order

    Hi There Experts,
                  My question is related to Plant Maintainance (PM) & Internal orders. Is there any standard report in SAP controlling or anywhere else which provides for each Internal Order number the list of Work Orders which have been charged to the Internal order and also if the Work Orders have PO's then a list of POs for each Work order.
    A rough picture of the report is as below:
    Internal Order                  Work Order/s              PO's
    11112222                             5673910                     4567890
                                               6789155                     1122445
    22555111                            77889933                                                                               
    If anybody could answer this it would really really help me.
    Thanks in Advance
    John

    Hi,
    Thanks for your quick replies.
    Can we get the report as follows.
    1. Total Po's value for the internal Order (through Table EKKN)                                                      xxx
    Less: Value already posted to Internal order after creation of cost elements (S_alr_87013019)  xxx
    Less: Total Value to be invoiced (Tcode -ME2N)                                                                             xxx
    Net amount to be posted to Internal Order manually                                                                        xxx
    Is it correct?

    1               383          9
    2               383          4
    3               383          2
    4               383          3
    5               384          4
    6               384          2          
    7               384          5
    8               384          3
    Business rule: a combination consists of a maximum of 4 subjects (must contain)
    and the user is less relevant to a COMB_NAME(name of combinations) but user need
    the subjects contained in combinations
    i need the following output
    COMB_ID COMB_NAME SUBJECT1 SUBJECT2      SUBJECT3      SUBJECT4
    383     S1     Biology Chemistry      Computer Science Physics
    384     S2     Chemistry Computer Science Mathematics Physics
    or even this is enough(what i actually needed)
    COMB_ID     subjects
    383           Biology,Chemistry,Computer Science,Physics
    384           Chemistry,Computer Science,Mathematics,Physics
    you can use any of the COMBINATION table(either (2) or (3))
    and i want to know
    1)which design is good in this case
    (i think SUB_ID1,SUB_ID2,SUB_ID3,SUB_ID4 is not a
    good method to link with same table but if 4 subjects only(and must) comes
    detail table is not neccessary )
    now i am achieving the result by program-coding in C# after getting the rows from oracle
    i am using oracle 9i (also ODP.NET)
    i want to know how can i get the result in the stored procedure itsef.
    2)how it could be designed in any other way.
    any help/suggestion is welcome
    thanks for your time --Pradeesh

    Well I forgot the table-alias, here now with:
    SELECT C.COMB_ID
    , C.COMB_NAME
    , (SELECT SUB_NAME
    FROM SUBJECTS
    WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID1) AS SUBJECT_NAME1
    , (SELECT SUB_NAME
    FROM SUBJECTS
    WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID2) AS SUBJECT_NAME2
    , (SELECT SUB_NAME
    FROM SUBJECTS
    WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID3) AS SUBJECT_NAME3
    , (SELECT SUB_NAME
    FROM SUBJECTS
    WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID4) AS SUBJECT_NAME4
    FROM COMBINATION C;
    As you need exactly 4 subjects, the columns-solution is just fine I would say.

  • Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

    Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
    System: Windows 7
    Adobe CS5
    Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
    Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
    Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
    Epson driver up to date
    After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
    The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail  I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
    My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
    Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
    When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling:  Printer manages color.  Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
    Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
    Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
    What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
    Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create? 
    Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
    Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
    If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
    Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
    Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
    I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

    It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
    I hope this may help...............
