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

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).

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

Warranty Date field in the equipment master data

Hi everyone!
I wanted to display the warranty date field in the equipment master data (IE01). I have already made the configuration and added the additional tab and screen thru this path:
Plant Maintenance and Customer Service > Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service > Technical Objects > General Data > Set View Profile for Technical Objects
But still, the tab is not added and the warranty date field is not found in the "Define Field Selection for the Equipment Master Record". please help me with this. We need this data because we are not using serial numbering and warranty master data that's why a way to track the warranty date is thru this adjustment in the equipment master data screen.
Thank you very much.

Marlon,
Make sure that you have assigned this specific profile to the Equipment category of the associated equipment that you are creating under SPRO > PM> Master data> tech object > Equipment > Equip category.

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

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 master warranty in case of excess production

Dear Gurrus !!!
My client company is involved in Electronics products (Refrigerator, TV, Oven, AC etc) manufacturing and sale business. There are hundreds of units produced and sold on daily basis. now i have to make warranty check here in CS module. My requirement is:
When we create Service notification type S9 with IW51 we enter Serial number on create screen. Serial number is linked with equipment, batch and material master. Requirement is when we enter serial number system should tell the warranty status in pop up screen. Warranty of Refrigerator and Compressor are different. Ref 1 year Compr. 3 Years. I have done every thing in system but now im facing two problems only.
1    I used user exit BG000001 and check standard tick for pop up too. A pop up screen appears but there is no warranty
      detail on that screen but when i check Additional data tab of serial number it shows compressor and ref warranty
      accurately.
2    It is not possible for users to enter master warranty and warranty start date in every serial number because there is
      hundreds/thousands of units produced daily.
Please give me any idea that how can i take date of sale (601 movement date) as warranty start date and how to enter master warranty in serial numbers automatically. i want to perform these activities automatically.
I am stuck here in warranty check. Please help me in this regard.
Pop up is not a big deal but my major concern is to enter automatically start date and master warranty.
Edited by: moazzamjii on May 6, 2011 2:17 PM

Hi,
I hope you are creating Equipment automatically while doing delivery for the Material with the combination of Material number & Serial Number.
If that is the case, have you tried with the update of equipment warranty data after creation of equipment?
Try this Function module:
'WARRANTY_ASSIGNMENT_RFC'
[Update warranty details|FM or BAPI to update Master warranty and Begin guarantee;
2nd Option:
In Serial Data view of Equipment Master, you can find the Date of Last Goods Movement, that would be the delivery date of that equipment.
Create a Ztransaction to update the warranty details of the equipment. That could be manual or automatic batch job running on daily basis.
Develop a program to call this Function module & try to update that date as Warranty start date.
Decide on Warranty end date based on your company warranty policy & incorporate the same in coding.
Even you can consider the equipments which are created on that particular day based on the field Creation Date.
So other equipments will not get affected.

Maheswaran.

Sort field in action monitor

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to take bulk/mass printouts for CRM transactions, using t.code- CRMC_ACTION_JOB.here we have a field called SORT FIELD1.please tell me the significance of this.actually there is no furthur filteration criteria for this.like-user id,service organisation etc.
My requirement is to print the service order as per the service organisations,which is not possible in t.code-CRMC_ACTION_JOB.
please provide some input for this issue.

Hi,
You can use the sort fields to process a series of actions in a defined order during batch processing. For this, you have to assign an attribute of the application object to the sort field in the action Customizing. When the action is generated, the value of this attribute is then entered into the corresponding sort field. First, the sorting defines how the selected actions are displayed in the list. During the batch run, the actions are then also processed in this order.
For the sorting, you must create and specify a variant that orders the ALV according to the entries in the sort fields. The dialog allows you to check the correct sort sequence in the ALV.
For example, if the postal code of the document recipient is entered into one of the sort fields, documents can be printed sorted by their postal code.

Sort field in maint.plan&in ip30

hi
does some one implementd sort field use in img of maint plan
and does dead line monitoring in ip3o
whar are the benifits or scope
ponts will be rewarded

Hi,
The sort field is used to 'sort' plans according to different criteria that you need to configure.
For e.g. If a company has 200 Maintenance plans and you want to know all the plans valid for a certain division of the company. You can have these plans sorted as per company division.
You will need to configure the sort fields in IMG. If company name is COMP, then sort fields may be
COMPDIV1, COMPDIV2 etc (just an example).
For scheduling maintenance plans indvidually IP10 may be used. However in real scenarios. the transaction IP30 is used to do a scheduling of all the maintenance plans together.
Thanks,

Sort field in maintenance order

Hello;
I want to make sort field in maintenance order as a mandatory field. But if I make it as a mandatory field, system still allows me to save the order as long as I have not clicked 'Location' tab. So there is no positive control over this field. May I know, how do I achieve this? I have even tried to put order type as the influencing field but it does not help.
Points assured.
Regards
Hemant

Hello Hemant,
access to the SAP service marketplace via www.service.sap.com to create an OSS message. Choose link "product errors". Therefore you need an OSS user and you have to be authorized to create OSS messages.
To create an user-exit, you have to go to transaction CMOD. There you have to create a project and assign the enhancement you want to use (I'm not really sure, but I think IWO10009 is the correct one in your case - you can search the user-exits via transaction SMOD - search for IWO*).
After this you have to implement your coding and then you have to activate the project.
The implementation of the user-exit should be done by an ABAP developer.
By the way - I've had a look at the OSS. There's note 768576.
Reason and Prerequisites
The problem is caused by a missing function.
Influences set via field selection will only become effective if a screen with the corresponding fields is processed. You must also refer to the documentation defined in the corresponding Customizing area. For the location & account assignment data, no additional check is (such as with the general order header data) is realised during the saving.
Prerequisite
Via field selection you declared fields of the location & account assignment data as mandatory field, and no screen that contains these fields was passed.
Solution
By means of the example code, you must implement a corresponding mandatory field check via customer enhancement IWO10009 at the time of the order backup.
1. Create subroutine Z_IWO10009_GET_DATA_FOR_FAW in program SAPMILA0. It would be best if you create an own include ZMILA0F1 for this so that you will not have any unnecessary expenditure for future Support Packages (via Transaction SE80).
FORM Z_IWO10009_GET_DATA_FOR_FAW.
CALL FUNCTION 'CO_IH_GET_HEADER'
       IMPORTING
                 CAUFVD_IMP = CAUFVD.
CALL FUNCTION 'CO_IH_GET_ILOA'
       EXPORTING
                 CAUFVD_IMP = CAUFVD
       IMPORTING
                ILOA_WA    = ILOA.
ENDFORM.                    "Z_IWO10009_GET_DATA_FOR_FAW
2. Create the following source code in customer enhancement IWO10009:
STATICS: XTFAWF LIKE TFAWF OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
tables: tfawf.
DATA: wa_screen    LIKE screen.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: 'A'.
perform Z_IWO10009_GET_DATA_FOR_FAW(SAPMILA0).
if xtfawf[] is initial.
    SELECT * FROM TFAWF INTO TABLE XTFAWF
             WHERE PROG = 'SAPMILA0'.
endif.
LOOP AT XTFAWF WHERE CUST_M = 'X'.
    CALL FUNCTION 'FIELD_SELECTION_INFLUENCE'
         EXPORTING
              dynprogruppe = '7   '
              mode        = 'C'
              modulpool    = 'SAPMILA0'
              fieldname    = XTFAWF-MFELD
         IMPORTING
              input        = wa_screen-input
              output      = wa_screen-output
              active      = wa_screen-active
              required    = wa_screen-required
              intensified = wa_screen-intensified
              invisible    = wa_screen-invisible
         EXCEPTIONS
              OTHERS      = 1.
    if wa_screen-required = 1.
      clear lv_mfeld.
      lv_mfeld = 'CAUFVD_IMP-'.
      case XTFAWF-MFELD.
        when 'ILOA-AUFNR'.
          lv_mfeld+11 = 'IAUFNR'.
        when 'ILOA-KOKRS'.
          lv_mfeld+11 = 'IKOKRS'.
        when 'ILOA-BUKRS'.
          lv_mfeld+11 = 'IBUKRS'.
        when 'ILOA-GSBER'.
          lv_mfeld+11 = 'IGSBER'.
        when 'RILA0-ARBPL'.
          lv_mfeld11 = xtfawf-mfeld6.
        when others.
          lv_mfeld11 = xtfawf-mfeld5.
      endcase.
      ASSIGN (lv_mfeld) TO IS INITIAL.
        Message E461(IW)
        with 'Mussfelder der Standort&Kontierungsdaten füllen'.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
    endif.
endloop.
endif.
3. Activate the changes
Correspondingly you can implement this solution also for the order release, for example, via customer enhancement IWO10002.
Bear in mind that this is a source code proposal. It might be useful or necessary to adjust this source code to special applications.
Best regards
Stephan

Sort Fields Not Working Properly?

If I do Get Info on a track, and change the Sort Artist to anything, then I Right Click on the track in the library > Apply Sort Field > Same Artist it changes the Sort Artist of all tracks by that artist to what I entered.
However, I want to delete all the Sort Artist data. I do exactly the same thing, and change the Sort Artist data to nothing on a track. However when I try to apply the sort field to all tracks by the artist it leaves them alone! It doesn't change all the Sort Artists to nothing! It only does this when I enter no data. Any string at all and it works correctly.
How can I change all the Sort Artists to nothing i.e. delete the Sort Artist data?

Hi there.
How about, instead of leaving the Sort Artist field blank, entering a name that is identical to the actual Artist field instead and then use the Apply Sort Field > Same Artist option.
You can then go to the iTunes View menu > View Options command and uncheck Sort Artist so that it will no longer appear in your iTunes Library display.
Does that bring you anything in the way of satisfaction?

The sort field is not used when ordering multiple cds in one alumn folder, how do I correct this?

It is using the track number and not the sort order field. The reason I have multiple cds in one alumn is because they are books on cd.

Sorry for the typo my "b" key was not working correctly.
