Define Field Selection - PM Order

Question

Hi,
We have Order types PM01 and PM02, processing for Planning Plants 1000,2000, 3000 and 4000.
Here for Planning Plant 1000,we have set up Equipment field, as mandatory for both Order type PM01 and PM02. This was set up through, Field Selection for Order Header Data, through Influencing Order type PM01 and PM02 and made Equipment as a mandatory field.
As this influencing field as made as per Order type PM01 and PM02, for Equipment as mandatory this is applicable for all Plants 1000,2000, 3000 and 4000.
Now we no need this Equipment as mandatory field in Order type PM01 and PM02 for Plant 4000. For only this requirement, can we make the influencing field for both Order type PM01 and PM02, for only Planning Plant 4000, not  Equipment as a mandatory field.
This must not disturb the existing Equipment mandatory field for Order types PM01 and PM02 for other Plants 1000, 2000 and 3000.
Kindly provide your suggestions.
Raja.

Kutti Raja,
If you want to do this for all the order Types for Planning Plant 4000, you may achieve this by following Steps:
1. Go to Field Selection for Order Header Data and Reference Object (Plant Maintenance and Customer Service --> Maintenance and Service Processing --> Maintenance and Service Orders --> Define Field Selection for Order Header Data (PM))
2. Click on Influencing button and Double click on "Planning Plant".
3. Enter "4000" in Contents Fields and Select Radio Button "Input" instead of "Required" next to Equipment field.
For Rest of the Planning Plants Equipment will remain to be mandatory but for 4000 and all order Types, it will be an input field but not as Mandatory.
Hope this helps.
