Order is assigned to a general notification - INCORRECT SAP BEHAVIOR

Has anyone encountered the issue where a work order is assigned to a general notification. This is an incorrect SAP behavior. Only maintenance and service notifications can be linked to a work order.
Here's the steps to replicate the issue:
1. Open a work order via transaction IW32.
2. Go to Objects tab.
3. In the next available line of the Object List table, go to the Notification column. Enter a GENERAL notification. (Here at work, we have a process where operator submit a work/change request. They come in initial as GENERAL notifications. It then goes to an approval process. That's when it gets converted to a Maintenance Notification).
4. After entering the general notification number, hit enter. You will get the error "Transaction not allowed
for notification type G1". G1 is our general notification type. This behavior is correct.
5. Take out the notification number since it is causing an error. Hit enter. This time no more errors show up. Everything is fine.
6. Save the work order.
7. Open table QMEL via transaction SE16.
8. Look for the general notification. You will see that field AUFNR was assigned the work order number. THIS IS NOT CORRECT.
I looked at SAP Notes but didn't find one that will fix the issue. I'm wondering if anyone has encountered this issue before. Thanks.

Well Giscard,
You are definitely right about this. Such an incosistency in one of the tables refers to an incorrect behavior. But one amazing thing is that the Object List table OBJK is not updated with the notification number whereas the Notification table QMEL gets updated with the order number and even the status of the notification is changed to Order Assigned and whenever you would try to link the notification to another order, it would not allow you to do so.
In this case, I suppose you should raise an OSS to SAP regarding such behaviour. I was also searching the marketplace, did find some SAP notes about inconsistencies in the QMEL table like 1345087 but none actually addresses this issue.

MTO Production Order settlement - assignment field filled incorrectly

Dear All
Normally, once our production orders are settled the assignment field in the accounting document that gets generated contains the production order.
However, in the case of our MTO production orders that get automatically created from a sales order, the assignment field is getting populated with the sales order # and item # on the sales order that generates the production order.
This is causing some difficulties for our accounting folks.
I checked the Sort key assigned to the GL account and it is assigned 036 (AUFNR).
Any ideas? Could the MTO functionality override this? Is the sales order and sales order item # being pulled in from somewhere else during the goods movement?
Also, wondering where I can see this in the system and if it's coming off the production order itself, or the material document posted for the production order, or just from the order settlement?
Many Thanks!

We've found an alternative process for this.
Thank you.

Capture the re-assigned value from a notification

Hi All ,
I have a requirement to capture the name of the re-assigned person from a notification sent to a user and redirect the flow to a process after the user's response.
I am facing difficulty in setting the result values . Since re-assign opens up a new page and de-activates the notification. I am not able to set the result value for the notification.
Could you please help me in figuring out how to set the result type and progress the order based on the result value when the user re-assigns ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Thejaswini.

Hi
You will get it all result information in WF_ITEM_ACTIVITY_STATUSES_V table. Check with this table.

Cost centre field in sales order account assignment screen

Hello all,
I am unable to find the settings for cost center field in sales order account assignment tab screen along with profit center and internal order. kindly let me know the path to select cost center.
Thanks in advance
Raju

The Cost Center Determination settings is in OVF3 - but there are some cases where the Cost Center must be exceptionally changed.
If the document category for order type in IMG VOV8 is defined to be "I" which belong to order type FD - Deliv.Free of Charge, then the field cost center is active for input during transaction VA01.
Alternatively, you can specify an order reason and assign a cost center to an order reason.
However the standard SAP works only at the header level though, so it would not work if cost center is needed on the line item.
The cost center are assign for such business transactions as :
- Free deliveries
- Returns
- Deliveries of advertising materials
You can also make cost center allocation dependent on the order reason, for example:
Order reason: Damage in transit
Order reason: Free sample
Both the IMG settings are done in transaction OVF3, either with/without the order reason.

Service Order Settlement - assigned to PSG

Hi,
I need a help regarding Service Order Settlement assigned to Profitability Segment.
Currently, in our system every item of SD Invoice posts revenues and COGS to profitability segment (PSG).
Main characteristic of PSG are: Customer, Product, Division, Profit Center.
We have implemented CS module using in Car maintenance service.
And now in CS module it is not possible to get PA document automatically after an invoice posting so we have to settle Service Order to PSG.
But Settlement rule for Service Order is not on item level (per every material-product separately).
We wants to have the same rules (per Product char.) for Service Order as we had so far in SD.
Is it possible to customize Settlement rule of Service Order on item level?
For instance according to an Invoice items from document flow:
Thanks,
Zoran

Customer order item assignment to WBS

Currently the WBS entry field is not displayed on customer order item - assignment tab.
What do I have to do in customizing to change this and make the WBS element field displayed ?

Well, my earlier response was based on your following requirement,
> Currently the WBS entry field is not displayed on customer order item - assignment tab. What do I have to do in customizing to change this and make the WBS element field displayed ?
whereas, there was no mention of statistical WBS element.
Anyways, to link the sales order in SD with the Project System, assign one or more sales order items to a WBS element (billing element or account assignment element).
The usage of statistical WBS elements as additional account assignment in SD is not supported in the system.
The following three account assignment are available in SD from the point of view of costs controlling/revenue controlling:
      1. Sales order item assigned to profitability segment (CO-PA). This is typically used in serial business where the actual costs do not have to be considered separately for each sales order. When you post the billing, the costs of sales are calculated costing-based from the standard cost estimate and transferred to the profitability analysis together with the actual revenue.
      2. Sales order item with automatically created 'cost collector'. In this case, the sales order item is a normal account assignment object in CO. Actual costs and actual revenues are managed directly in the sales order item.
      3. Sales order item assigned to (nonstatistical) WBS element. In this case, the WBS element manages the actual costs and the actual revenues for the sales order item.
Combination of these procedures in a sales order item are not supported.
For more detail, refer SAP Note 43875 - Sales order + statistical WBS element
Thanks & Regards

Error: The sort order specified for distinct count records is incorrect

When processing a measure group with a distinct count measure in it, i get the following error:
"The sort order specified for distinct count records is incorrect."
I have no idea what this means - any ideas?

I had the same problem and your fix worked. In more detail, the problematic field was contract_no. I added a named calculation to the table in the Data Source View with the formula CHECKSUM(contract_no). Then I created the distinct count measure on that named calculation. And, lo and behold, the errors disappeared!
Thank you to Frank.

Production Order number assignment CO01

Hello,
I'm looking to have the production order number assigned early: on entry into 'Production Order Create: Header' screen. Can this be done in standard SAP or would I need to use an exit and external number range?
Thank you, Mart

Dear Mart,
Check the number range assigned to the order type and check whether check box for external is included in CO82.
Or else you can confirm the same through T Codes,SNUM or SNRO for the object AUFTRAG.
You can enter a number between the from and To no range in CO01 and execute the same.

Re : sales order without assigning document type in OVAZ

Hi
How to create sales order without assigning document type in OVAZ.
Thanks
Mani

Hi Mani,
If all your order types can be used in all the sales orders, you dont need to maintain in OVAZ. If you think ur order type has to be used only in one of the sales area then you need to maintain in OVAZ.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards
