Work Order Operation Duplicated on Operation/Activity Number

I had a coworker duplicated his activity number on a operation. He hit save after he had changed the operation number. Now it is giving an error "Inconsistent data: Order 20066826 02/11/2008, duplicate entry U 0125. This had only happened once before and I tecoed/business completed the work order. Then told them to create a new order. But this one, has important information in it, so I was asked to save this order.
Any way to renumber the operation or delete it, or just get in the work order itself? I get this error in change or display.
Thanks

What you describe should not have happened, and in 11 years of consulting on SAP Plant Maintenance I can only recall having seen this kind of problem once previously. It's not a very easy problem to resolve. There are a couple of suggestions I can make, neither of which are particularly easy or straighforward:
1. Raise an OSS message with help.sap.com to see if they are aware of the problem and have an ABAP that you can download that will correct or delete the database entries. I have done this successfully previously but whether they have an off the shelf solution for this will depend on which version you are on and which tables have corrupted entries in them.
2. Get an ABAPer to look at the problem and produce an ABAP program to correct the entries internally. It wouldn't need to be a particularly complex program, only a few lines, but some analysis would be needed to ensure that all of the affected table entries are corrected as the work order operations are split across several tables.
Sorry but there is not really an easy answer to this one.

Single work order to release 2 operation from Task list 1 month and 6 month

Hello,
We have a maintenance plan for an equipment. It has a task list with 2 operation: Operation 0010 is 1 month interval and Operation 0020 is 6 month intervals.
Currently when the preventive maintenance plan is release, 2 work order are created for every 6 months.
Is it possible to combine the One month interval and 6 month interval task to a single Work Order?
Thanks.

For 1 month freq, orders will be created every month. In 6th month, order will be created with one month & 6th month operation together.
If you want to suppress one month operation while order is getting created with 6th month operation, mention higher hierarchy for 6 month freq in strategy. This means, mention hierarchy 1 for 1 month freq & 2 for 6 months freq. While both the operations are due, operation with higher hierarchy only will be taken over to the order.
I guess, this what you expect. Please confirm.

Work Order Header Short Text & Operation Short Text Issue

Hi All,
There is one issue while creating the work Order through IW31. When I put the Header Short Text same short text is transpose in to the First Operation short text as per STD SAP behaviour but if I change First Operation short text in creation(IW31) and save and come back in IW32 or IW33 it is showing the same Header Short Text but not changed one.
Why it is so???
I Want to Edit the First Operation short text in IW31 only not in IW32.
If anybody have explaination on this please let me know.Its SAP BUG????

Work Order Cost/Planned data by Activity Type

Does anyone know the cube that would contain planned and actual cost for work orders using the work order activity type (AUFK-ILART)
Will reward points as always.

Hi Ashish Jain,
I have planned activity type/price with the transaction KP26, but the system doesn't return any value in planned costs of WBE.
Why?
Thanks

When Creating a Work Order Import Standard Operations

A client is requesting the following functionality when creating a Work Order: Create the first nine operations with different work centers and number operations 0001 u2013 0009. For operation ten continue numbering with 0010 and increase by 10, ie, 0020, 0030, etcu2026 . And operation 0010 would default header data.
Can this be accomplished through standards configuration or would this entail a user exit?
Thanks in advance!!
JAM

It can be possible, depending on how you create the Work Order. If these operations are used often and are in a task list, you can create a work order and import the task list operations by using the menu "extras -> task List selections" inside the work order. If it is part of a preventative maintenance plan, you can configure that your task list is automatically copied to the notification/work order when generated by your maintenance plan. Of course in the task list you could save all the increments and work centers as you want. But this would never be a dynamic check to your header data, it would only be as accurate as your task list.

Using a hierarchy but also showing work orders that are not in hierarchy

good morning bi people,
i have a requirement to show data from a hierarchy which includes Operation and Maintenance information. for example it has an account broken into labour/material/trucking and below this is the pm acivity type and secondary cost element (concatenated). this hierarchy is a manually created hierarchy that is uploaded to BW and is not in ECC. The users do not want to see the concatenated field at the end of the hierarchy, but instead, want to see the Work Orders that have the PM activity types.
At the present time, we have the report using the hierarchy but we need the work orders to replace the pm activity type/secondary cost element concatenated field. the work order field is a free characteristic and when we drag in the work order in analyzer, it works correctly.
1) is this possible to use the hierarchy and somehow map the work order field to the end of the hierarchy within crystal?
2) do you have a suggestion to change the hierarchy, without being a manual nightmare?
all conversations are welcome.
Erik

Good Day Ingo,
i have created a word document with screen shots of the hierarchy from BW, a screen shot of the BEx showing the free characteristic of Maintenance Order and a screen shot of the crystal report with the PM Activity type concatenated to the Cost Element. Once again, we do not wish to see the concatenated field, but rather see the Maintenance orders that have a PM Activity type the same as the concatenated field.
here is the link.

Different service costs in work order and purchase order

When I add a service in a works order and later on add the vendor I get an incorrect planned cost in the order. A recalculation is not performed based on vendor price. A manual recalculation is possible but it should be done automatically on order save. Anybody familiair with his problem, and more importantly: Anybody got a solution for this?

The service master / activity 123 has a specific price of 25,- For vendor XYZ the service master /activity has a price of 20,- When I create a work order and add service master / activity 123 first the price of 25,- appears. When I add the vendor XYZ in the work order and create a purchase requisition I presume the price of the vendor xyz (20,-) will appear in the PR. When I create a purchase order from the PR the price is still 25,- instead of 20,-. I get the same result when I manually change the price of the service master / activity. The price in the PR stays the same (20,-).

Wrong Operation number(Activity Number) showing in Production Order

Friends
I have created a production order.
Wrong Operation number(Activity Number - RESBD-VORNR) is showing for some of the Production Order components(all are phantom components only) where as the activity number in its Routing components (RCM01-VORNR) is different. So we need to change the activity to correct activity manually in change production order screen(CO02)
I found one SAP Note 104322 - Error in reallocating phantom (When reallocating phantom components in a production order to another operation, different errors can occur:
-- not all dependent components are allocated to the correct operation). We are on ECC 5.0 . This note already exists in our system
This issue happened only with one BOM . Many other BOMs ( similar type) donot have this issue.
Can some one from the group help me to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance
Please let me know if you guys need more details
Thanks

Hi MVSSAI,
I am just a bit confused if you are talking about wrong operation nos. or wrong activity nos. If I am correct, it should be wrong operation nos. which fetches the activities that are defined in that work center.
If wrong operation nos. is getting selected then
Please check if the system is configured with alternative sequence under T.Code: CA01 for a particular group & group counter (just in case you are using nos. of routings for the single material).
If yes, then check if you have defined priority of the sequence i.e. in which order it has to taken.
If yes, further check if you have aligned automatic routing selection depending upon the B.O.M. alternatives in routing itself.
Just in case you have maintained any of these the routing will get automatically selected depending upon the priority that is given to work center and hence different operation nos.

Work order operation number in Production Scheduling

Hi,
We are using production scheduling for scheduling the discrete jobs. In production pegging view, the work order operation is shown in number "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" not the name of the operation. Is there any setup required to display operation name? Any patch required?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have face similar issue in deleting PO line items.
Even though I delete items, system check budget for deleted qty with the currency conversion + value & gives budget exceed error.
In some cases we have asked user to deactivated AVAC asked to do the transaction, which is not recommended.
You can try running CJBN & CJBV in sequence for affected WBS.
Thanks & reg,

How to delete line item in a Work Order (only a line created in operation)

Hi,
I have created a refurbishment order to refurbish a mechanical seal at external parties. In the work order operation tab, I have created one line items for this purpose and a Purchase Requisition is generated. Suddenly, operation decided to cancel this request and I have problem to delete the Work Order and Purchase Requisition. I have tried to delete the operation line item but failed. This is the message when try to delete the line item " The last active operation cannot be deleted". Appreciate help on how to delete this Work Order and Purchase Requisition.
Edited by: Zahari Yusof on Apr 4, 2008 3:20 AM

hi
In Standard SAP while creating an order the short text you are specifying will automatically appear in the first operation,also in order system will ask you to enter atleast single operation ,hence it is not possible to delete the operation line ,
what you can do this either TECO the order which will clear any open PR for this
or create another operation with control key for internal activities say dummy with operation no 20 and save,then go in to order in change mode and try to delete the operation line 10 ,i think system will allow you to do that

How to regenerate COSS table for work order operation planning hours

Hello,
I am looking for a SAP report or a custom solution to update the table COSS table from work order operation hours. Several work orders incorrectly updated in the table COSS with result the cost is incorrect.
For example: In the work order opertions, I have planned 2.5 hrs and in the table COSS it is 1.5.
Much appreciate for your help
Bill

It is quite simple actually.
As soon as your array exceeds SDU (defaults to 2048), sqlnet will fragment the packet. (see: sqlnet more data to client messages in your trace file)
As soon as the packet is bigger than your NICs MTU, the NIC will fragment the packet.
So, depending on the number of bytes for 1 record, high array size make sense or don't make sense.
And ideally SDU should be a multiple of MTU.
So do high arraysizes make sense? Usually not.

Rules for defining operations in Work Orders

What is the best practice for defining work order operations for better knowledge retention. How we can distinguish multiple operations in work order?
Our maintenance stuff is defined single operation like replacement of bearing in work order which is of no use for knowledge retention. What measures/guidelines should be taken in this regard?
Regards,
Tehsin

Hi Tehsin
Technically every one has answered correctly, however I would like to add few points
1. I completely agree with Shri Maheswaran that operations shall be created on broad heads & only differentiated basd on diffrent activity type(for different wage grp) or Performing work center or according different broad activity (functional) which has specific relevance.
2. As a best practice we have created standard maintenance practice (SMP) which contains details of activity for say replacement of motor which normally do not changeover period & attach this document to technical object in DMS. Further we have standardised operations using standard text key e.g. Replace motor type xxx, xxkW / Maintain motor type xxx/ Maintain panel etc.
At most we have included the broad sub activities as operations or in long text as per requirement but not how parts because how part will always remains same (untill & unless objct changes or there is any revision of the document). If you want the status of completion of your broad activities as mailestones then also you shall create it as operation or sub operation. If you put it in long text you will not get separate status.

Shakti
