Printing Shop Papers for Completed Notifications

Hello,
This issue has been brought up on this forum before, but I have not managed to find an actual solution that was implemented by an organization.
We are basically trying to print Shop Papers for completed (NOCO) Notifications that have Orders assigned but that have been completed and TECOu2019d. The thread Need to REPRINT the Service Notification explains that it is not possible to print such shop papers. Is there some way to create a work around using user exits or a custom program to enable such shop papers to be printed? I've already checked with SAP and was told that no SAP note fulfills this requirement on ECC 6.0. I would much appreciate any insight on a solution you may have implemented.
Thanks in advance,
Tarun

PeteA is right you will need to have some custom code to by-pass the status checks that SAP has implemented.
Prometheus Group has a program called the Work Order Print Manager that can do this for work orders. I am a developer for this solution.
The program gathers all document related to the work order (services for objects, DMS, sapscripts/smartforms, equipment doc, functional location docs, material docs, etc) and puts them into a nice GUI for printing.
Specifically for work order you cannot print them from standard SAP if the order is in created status because the menu is greyed out). However we can put a button in a user exit to call the program. The sapscripts appear along with the other documents and can be printed.
Additionally we can add watermarks and/or to the document to let the users know they are trying to print a work order in the incorrect status. We/ I can demonstrate the work order solution to you and prototype a IW52 solution after a short discussion to help us understand your issue in particular.

if you are interested in a demo email them to set up a demonstration with me.

Printing Shop Papers from Maintenance Order Urgent !!!

Hi All,
I am in need of Printing Shop papers from Maintenance order , i know that the configuration of this thing is done through SPRO
Plant Maintenance and customer service ->
Maintenance and Service Processing -> Maintenance and Service Orders -> Print Control -> Define Shop Papers, Forms and Output Programs
, but i want that when we give Print command through Maintenance order a smartfrom should trigger which i have developmed.
My problem is that i am not able to configure the Print control for SMARTFORMS.
What to do , Please suggest.
Regards,
Rachit Khanna

Amol,
Standard config doesnt provide the functionality to set the default selection dependant on PLANT. You will have to get the help of developer to do an implicit enhancement (Only If you are in ECC 6.0) to accomplish the same.

Printing shop paper for Service Order

Hi,
I can see for service orders (IW31) shop papers are used to print documents. And shop papers are basically written in sapscript. They are configured in SPRO for each order type along with their program name and subroutine name and form name.
But my requirement is I want to show a document currently stored in Business Document Service(OAER) when order print button is clicked. I have a program which currently shows a document stored in BDS in a screen upon executing it. But if I configure that program name in SPRO I get a runtime dump.
Could anybody please help me on that.

Mainak

OK...try this:
in OIDB (notification) remove the selection check for all generic entries - this determines what is shown when you try to print. For example, if you have a setting for doc.type = * and it is checked for selection, each of those will appear when you print. By removing this selection check for doc type = *, it won't appear for yours. You should put a line there for your doc type with the selection checked. If you put a second line there for your doc type without the 'selection' checked - it will show, but be optional when you do a print.
In OIDG (work order), follow the same logic. Once you print the order, it will propose to print the notification as well (either selected or just available). Also, i think you should link the notification and order types in work order config.
This works when you are printing a work order, but i'm not sure if you can print the work order from the notification. I just tried this in my system and did get the notifications to print while printing the work order using the settings i've mentioned.

Print Shop Papers in Smartforms

I've got a task to print Shop Paper in Smartform. The SAP standard form was PM_JOB_TICKET and print driver was RIPRJT01. The transaction to print (in Sapscript format) Shop Paper is IW3D. I'm an ABAPer so I know how to convert form from Sapscript into Smartform. But I don't know how to make transaction IW3D to print my Smartform. I tried to change Output program, Form routine & Form name under transaction OIDF but it seems I cann't link a Smartform name with this transaction. Can you please help urgently?

Rohit,
I have just read your response. Thanks for that, can l just get some clarification on a couple of things.
1. Are you saying that you did get SMARTFORMS working for PM ?
2. If so, did you do this by getting the SAP Script to call the SMARTFORMS ??
Thanks in advance

Print out Format Modification for Orders & Notifications

Dear All,
I need to create new Print out format for Order & Notification.
Can any body suggest what will be the necesary config settings need to be done after creation of new Print out form & how i can achieve it?
Regards
Dhiren

Dhiren,
After creating a new form,please follow the below steps..
1) Use transaction OIDF to create a New shop paper by copying a existing shop paper (Which suits your needs). Replace the SAP Script form with your new form and try to keep the same standard program. 2) Use transaction OIDG to assign the shop paper to order type.
Use transaction OIDA and OIDB to do the same two steps for the Notification.

Shop Paper for Notification and Order

Hi All,
I have assigned shop paper for both Notification and Order. Now when I am trying to print the Order or Notification via Maintenance Order or Notification respectively, both the outputs are in the selectable mode since order is created from notification.
But user wants that when he is trying to print Order only shop paper for Order should be in selectable mode and same for Notification. I checked the configuration settings for this but could not find anything.
Are there any settings where we can achieve this.
Thanks in advance

Shobha

CN22 - Print Shop Floor Papers for Network Orders

Hi All,
We are printing shop floor papers for network orders - the printers are setup, configuration is working fine.
However, there is a sporadic error: when we select "Print" and then "Save" in CN22, the system pops up a window with the list of all network activities. However, for some reason, the first time this is done, only a few network activities appear on the list. If we close the pop up, then select "Print" and then "Save" again, the whole list appears. Has anyone encountered this before? I looked through OSS, but couldn't tell if any of the notes would be applicable to resolve the issue.

Hi,
I just went through the same problem. Don't know if it is still open.
In customizing under "Project System"->"Structures"->"Operative Structures"->"Network"->"Printing in Networks" you will find entry "Recommendations for printing and print control". There it is stated that the number of time tickets or number of confirmation slips entered for the activity is greater than zero.
Check in transaction OPS0 if you have set the number of prints greater than zero in menu point "List control for transactions (double clic on the entry).
