Skip the Creation of Maintenance Notification

I would like to know the effect if i will skip or remove the process of creation of Maintenance notification in SAP PM. The process will start with the creation of Order, if there's an external service required the Maintenance Order will be converted into PO if no external service or material will close the Order.
Since the Creation of Maintenance Order will generate Notification, we were thinking that creation of Notification is redundant if the system allows to create order and notification in one transaction.
What would be the effect of this, thanks and God bless.

Greetings Peach,
As the experts, who had already answered observed, this is purely a business process consideration. If your (Client's) organization supports a "streamlined" process in which direct Order creation is beneficial you can go for it.
As you've written "Since the Creation of Maintenance Order will generate Notification, we were thinking that creation of Notification is redundant if the system allows to create order and notification in one transaction." I assume you are still using Notification and Order integration. But as Yogesh Dhokne mentioned, this is optional as well.
If you choose to create a Notification in the background, you can still register breakdown times for MTTF/MTBF calculations, Catalog Codes for tracking and any additional information once the Orders are created.
But consider this: How is work requested, released for execution and reported? If you only create Orders, you have only Orders to go on. Therefore, you might require more verbose User Status management, and you may find yourself with Orders that are being created unnecessarily and have to be closed, Orders being released prematurely... You have to have a very "flat" process around this immediate Order creation.
On the other hand, consider that having Notifications created prior means a more "deep" process and more overhead, but you can have a step to filter works to be released on the Notification level before Orders are created, if you have more than one Notification  for the same work, you can assign it to a single Order, and you have more options when designing roles and authorizations, since you can separate access and business transactions for Notifications and Orders for your Operations and Maintenance users, if necessary.
Please ask further questions if you have any!

  • Problem in creation of Maintenance Notification.

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to create a maintenance notification through BAPI. When I tried to create it by bapi  'BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE' , I am having one issue.
    Whenever we create a notification by T-code 'IW21' there is one flag for 'Put in Progress' which changes the phase of notification from 'Outstanding' to 'In Progress'. But whenever I am creating with the help of BAPI this notification is deirectly going to 'In progress' Phase. I have checked all the parameters of this BAPI but didn't found any such flag.
    So If anybody have solution like how to create initially notification in Outstanding phase and later if we need to change it how to change it, please help me out.
    Thanks in Advanced.

    Deepak,
    Can you please elaborate your query.
    What all fields are you passing in this BAPI and what the program you are using this BAPI.

  • Creation of maintenance order from notification

    Hi experts,
    Is there any standard settings available by which I can block to create maintenance order from a notification until & unless it's system status is "NOPR"?i.e when the system status of notification is OSNO ,system should not allow to create maintenance order.
    Also in notification front page under TAB 10\TAB01(Notification1), I want to populate activites under screen area 015(item+cause) like object part,damage, cause code as my users do not want to enter the activities under tab 10\Tab12(Activities) due to the complexity it containes.
    Would appreaciate of any suggestion pl

    Hi Rajib,
    First one:
    Create a user status profile for the notification . In the initial status make it forbidden for the create of order. So as soon as you create the notification system will set to the initial status and will make it forbidden to create order at OSNO.
    You have to assign this status profile to the notification type you want to do. Further you can make status profile in auhtorization control also.
    refer the config path: Maintenance and Service Processing ->>Notification Processing>>User Status for Notifications>>Define Status Profile.
    Second one:
    In the config path
    Maintenance and Service Processing>>Maintenance and Service Notifications>>Overview of Notification Type
    select the notification type you want to include the activity code in the header data. click on Screen Structure for Extended View >> selec the 10\TAB01 add the 045 in the screen area , most possible it will be at 10\TAB01
    Hope this will meet your requirement.

  • Generating Purchase Req. / Purchase Ord. from Maintenance Notification

    Hi all,
    Is there any way we can create a purchase requisition(PR) or purchase order(PO) from a Maintenance Notification? I know we can create PR/PO from Maintenance Order but our client doesn't want to take that route.
    To add more info, the piece of equipment for which the notification will be raised, is created with a link to a material in MM (Serial Data tab in equipment master). We also have a vendor partner attached to the equipment as well as notification. We need to generate PR/PO from the maintenance notification which is raised for this piece of equipment.
    Any help / pointers / suggestions are welcome.

    Thanks Pete
    Is there one, or many PRs to a single notification
    There needs to be only one PR for a single notification. The notification pertains to only one piece of equipment, and once the PR -> PO -> GR cycle is completed, the notification will be closed. Next time, if the equipment fails, a new maintenance notification will be created. So, yes, there will be only one PR for a maintenance notification.
    How will you handle missing data e.g. vendor, material, etc
    The material no. for that particular piece of equipment is maintained in the equipment master (material field in the Serial number view). Also, we maintain vendor number under partners for the equipment master data. We should be able to use these while creating PR from notification. At least that's what is our initial thought. Please correct me on this.
    What will be the account assignment for the PR
    I'm not sure about this one though, I'll confirm with the MM consultant and update this reply.
    Will the notification user-status be update on PO creation, GR, IR, etc
    Yes, thanks for bringing this up. The client intends to use this functionality to check the availability of the equipment. So, not only the notification's user status should update based on PO status, but also the piece of equipment's user status should also get updated when the notification is closed and the piece of equipment is available.
    Will the notification be referenced in the PR/PO
    Not exactly, but there should be a report available which will list all the PRs / POs raised for maintenance of a particular piece of equipment. So, if notification is linked to PR/PO, we may  be able to generate this report easily. Again, correct me if I'm wrong on this.
    Do you want to limit who can create the PRs
    Well, if we are talking about auto-creation from notification, then only the person releasing the Notification will be able to generate PR indirectly. If it is manual creation, then yes, we will need to restrict this authority to limited people.
    Please let me know if these responses help you understand my requirement and give any other possible solution.

  • How to block the creation of a Sales Orders without a linked Purchase Order

    Hi. I'm trying to block the creation of a Sales Order that doesn't have a linked Purchase Order. The first thing I did is using the SBO Transaction Notification as follows:
    IF  @transaction_type = 'A' AND @object_type='17'
    BEGIN
         IF (SELECT PoPrss FROM ORDR WHERE DocEntry = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del) = 'N'
         BEGIN
              SET @error = 1
              SET @error_message = 'Purchase Order Missing...'
         END
    END
    This works good. I create the Sales Order, I tick the purchase order field on the logistics tab, I click Add, and then the purchase order window appears...
    Then, the problem begins... If I click the Cancel button, the purchase order is obviously not created, but the Sales Order is created.
    Can someone tell me how to block the creation of the sales order If the user press the cancel button on the purchase order window (and the purchase order is not created)
    As far as I can see, after clicking the add button in the sales order document, the Sales Order is created on the DB. If there's no way of blocking the creation of the Sales Order, can I avoid closing the purchase order window by the SBO_TransactionNotification? (if the purchase order has not been created)
    Thanks...

    Hi Yail,
    I think you can't close the purchase order with the stored procedure.
    Try to catch the Event when the user click on Cancel button.
    So you can list the vents with event logger : https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/ede3be37-0e01-0010-1883-cd1b5293473e
    You can block the cancel button and force the user to create the purchase order.
    Hope i help you
    Best regards

  • Search option in catalog selection in maintenance notification item, object

    Dear Experts,
    I have a problem to search & choose the relevent catalog codes in maintenance notification item,  in catalog selection pop up when F4 done on object part. Is there any setting to find the relevent codes from the cataloge selection screen or any setting for the FIND option availabilty on the catalog selection pop up.
    We are using ECC 5.0.
    Kindly provide the solution.
    Regards,
    Tushar

    Tushar,
    Your emphasis is on Relevant Codes. This means codes relevant to the Technical Object (Equipment or Functional Location)
    For this purpose only SAP has given the functionality Catalog Profile.
    Create a Catalog Profile  (OQN6) in which you mention the codes relevant to the technical object.
    Now mention this Catalog Profile in the Organisation tab of the Technical object. (Equipment or Functional Location).
    After this whenever you create a notification on such Equipments/FLs, you will get only those catalogs which you've mentioned in the Catalog Profile
    Hope this helps you.
    Regards
    Jogeswara Rao
    PS: Creating a catalog Profile is a IMG activity, which you have to do in Client 200> generate a request> and transport this request to the client of your working.
