Problems with Permit/Classification for... Chuck Frank 147 Frank 147 posts since May 29, 2009 Problems with Permit/Classification for Auto Determination May

29, 2009 6:06 PM I'm trying to setup the automatic Permit Determination function and its not working. I feel that I have done so much to set it up, but that there may be something that I'm overlooking. Would appriciate help greatly.

Characteristic "PMACTIVITYTYPE" -Under "Addnl data" tab: --Table Name: CSEVPERMIT --Field Name: ILART --Not Ready for Input - Checked (later unchecked, same result) -Under "Restrictions": --Added 049, later took it out (same result) -Under "Values": --left blank (same result - could not change in IMPD) --clicked on "additional values" (unclicked also, did not work) --Added values (they would show up as selections, but could not save values) --where I clicked "default" that of course would show up, but could not be changed. -Under "Basic data": --Description defaulted, Chars Group, Released Status --Data Type defaulted, No of chars defaulted, --Left at single value --clicked and unclicked "Entry Required" (both did not work) --did not add any dependencies

Pardon me for not entering in the text in a clearer way - this is my first time posting and there is a lot of information that I want to show; basically that I did all the basics.

hi First create characteristic as X with in the additional data specify CSEVPERMIT with field label ILART. with character format Then create class which you specified in the Permit class IMG ,and assign the create characteristic . While creating the permit in IPMD press the classification button and specify the values should be used for automatic determination.The traffic light should be in green colour. Specify the values of permit as Error:Unless order will not released. then while creating the order it will be automatically determined regards thyagarajan


29, 2009 6:42 PM

Thanks thyagarajan, I did exactly that but I still cannot make any changes to the classification when I am in IPMD

hi what is problem you are facing ,kindly specify ,whether the traffic light is green regards thyagarajan


29, 2009 6:49 PM

traffic light is green when I am in IPMD, in the permit, I click on "classification" - that opens up - I try to specify the value - but it never saves when I go back in - plus, the permit is never called up when I test


29, 2009 7:50 PM

I re-formatted this (Please disregard first post, this one is more readable):

Created:

CT04
1.) Characteristic "PMACTIVITYTYPE"
-Under "Addnl data" tab:
--Table Name: CSEVPERMIT
--Field Name: ILART
--Not Ready for Input - Checked (later unchecked, same result)

-Under "Restrictions":
--Added 049, later took it out (same result)

-Under "Values":
--left blank (same result - could not change in IMPD)
--clicked on "additional values" (unclicked also, did not work)
--Added values (they would show up as selections, but could not save values)
--where I clicked "default" that of course would show up, but could not be changed.



-Under "Basic data":
--Description defaulted, Chars Group, Released Status
--Data Type defaulted, No of chars defaulted,
--Left at single value
--clicked and unclicked "Entry Required" (both did not work)
--did not add any dependencies

CL02
2.) Class "Permits"
-class Type - 049
-Status - Released
-Added Characteristic "PMActivityType" (it returned a message [green check] saying the following,

in SPRO:

Tried it

IPMD - Created Several Permits with several scenarios, and could not specify desired activity type - it would not "save".

in all those cases, tried to create work orders with several different activity types, did not issue permits.

You have done all things right. Please do following steps after that: --Give order release as you want --Specify the ILART in classification and press enter then back button it will save your entry. --Do one thing please do not specify any thing in Restricted use field. Leave it blank and save the permit.I hope your problem will get solved. --Go to order specify that ILART in order then call permit you will find that permit in permit field.

Thanks Crishi,

I have done exactly as you suggested, the following happened:

specifed the Maintenance Activity Type
clicked enter
clicked on back button



did not specify anything in restricted field

it did not save

tested anyways, did not save - I should not call it up, it should call up automatically when I go to release (specified setting "2")

any idea why this is happening?

PMPSMM Is the permit available for manual assignment? PeteA

Hello PeteA, yes it is available

Are you getting any messages when you classifiy the permit in IPMD? PeteA


1, 2009 7:38 PM

no messages, I just click on the classification button, attempt to add values, hit the back button, save (it says "already saved"). But when I get out of IPMD, then return, the change(s) are not saved.


2, 2009 9:10 AM

I've just tried the same thing in my ECC6 system and it worked OK. Try deleting and re-creating the permit.

2, 2009 2:54 PM

I did, and it still does not work :S


2, 2009 5:04 PM

can you do screen-dumps of the class, characterisitic and permit into a word document, then link it to this post?


2, 2009 7:30 PM

sure, how do we upload to this forum? (if you don't mind me asking) - is there a help section on how to?

Hi, I don't spot anything obviously wrong with configuration but I have not looked too close as basic problem appears to be saving the characteristic value in IPMD.

no messages, I just click on the classification button, attempt to add values, hit the back button, save (it says "already saved"). But when I get out of IPMD, then return, the change(s) are not saved.

When you open up the classification screen to adjust the value - then press

back there

is an automatic save.

You do not need to press save. After pressing back there should be a message 'Data was saved'. Does this appears for you or not? If that message does not appear, it looks like the program does not recognise that a value was changed and therefore does not do the save. I would suggest trying to update this value with transaction CL24N. Enter your class (PERMITS_529) and class type 049. You should then get a list of assignments including the permit. Select this and choose details - 'values for assignment' icon. You can now adjust the characteristic value. Does this save ? or maybe more information visable as to why it does not save. -Paul


4, 2009 3:42 PM

Hi Paul:

The 'Data was saved' message does not appear. Nothing appears at all, so I just tried clicking on Save in hopes of something happening.

In addition, I tried Transaction CL24N and got the following Message:



"No allocations found for this class
Message no. CL 408

Diagnosis
No allocations were found for the class you entered.

System Response
The system checks the allocations that are effective according to the data you entered.

Procedure
There may be allocations to the class that are effective under different conditions (date effectivity or parameter effectivity).

For this reason, try again with different effectivity parameters."


5, 2009 10:32 PM

Hi, I'm not sure what is wrong. One setting I do notice is that on Addnl Data tab in CT04, here the flag 'not ready for input' should be unselected. Maybe try this and see what happens. -Paul


8, 2009 3:09 PM

Hi Paul, unfortunately that didn't work either


8, 2009 3:38 PM

I'm running out of suggestions too.. Try recreating a whole new set of data (class, characteristic, permit) and try again. This may sound stupid but rename your class from PERMITS_529 to CSEVPERMITS... PeteA




8, 2009 4:35 PM

Hello Pete, I tried it as well, unfortunately, same result


8, 2009 4:45 PM

Hi, It might be worthwhile trying to use a different field for testing, just in case there is something strange with the ILART field. Maybe try one of the cost fields. -Paul

I tried that earlier, (Planned Cost) added >600 as the value in $'s - same result

I did not make any settings regarding user exits

Maybe not, but has anyone else??? See Tcode SMOD PeteA

Re: Problems with Permit/Classification for Auto Determination Jun

8, 2009 6:06 PM

got your point

I checked SMOD, and based on my limited knowledge of this function, it does not appear to have been changed. Here is what I found:

Extension - IWO10007
Short Text - Maint.order: Customer enhancement - permits in the order
Administrative Data:
Development Class - IWO1
Original Language - DE
Created by - SAP - No Date in the date field
Last Changed - SAP - No Date in the date field


8, 2009 6:22 PM

Do this: 1. Go to SMOD and enter IWO10007 2. Click the Components radio button, then Display button 3. Double-click on EXIT_SAPLCOIH_007 4. Double-click on ZXWOC05 If this user-exit has any code, then you will see it. If it doesn't have any code, then you will get a wanting message which will be something like: "Program name ZX.......". Simply cancel out of this. PeteA

OK, so there's no user-exit code.. Do an SU53 trace to see if its an authorisation issue. PeteA


9, 2009 4:50 PM

Checked it, and Authorization is ok


9, 2009 5:14 PM

Get another user to create it all again just to ensure its not something to do with your user ID. Have you tried it with different order types and different system-statuses. Are there any active user-statuses ?


9, 2009 5:25 PM

I tried saving a value in IPMD with another user account - same result

I tried it with various order types, but if I can't save the value, it shouldn't matter, right?

hi just try ,enter the value in the classifcation and save .Then display the permit to see the value .if there is no value then do the same process for several times (say 10 times).kindly check regards thyagarajan


9, 2009 6:28 PM

I tried it and it didn't work

Also, one thing to note, in IPMD, if you click on "Variable List", there is one column for "Classification". This field is blank for all of my failed permits. I'm assuming that this field should have an "X" in it, right?


9, 2009 6:49 PM

Get your ABAPers to put a break-point in function module PERMIT_PROPOSAL_BY_CLASS and debug the program. Note: the permits are only assigned when: - You press the PERMIT button - After saving PeteA


9, 2009 9:02 PM

in the process of it..

quick question, not sure what you mean by Permit Button, where exactly in IPDM?


10, 2009 10:03 AM

Sorry PMPSMM , Note: the permits are only assigned when: - You press the PERMIT button in IW31/32 - After saving IW31/32



Found [OSS Note 331093|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/ index2.htm?numm=331093] which describes how to set up these types of permit. You might need to change you class status... PeteA


10, 2009 2:28 PM

so the permits will not be generated automatically? Thx for the note, i'll check it out.


10, 2009 2:37 PM

They are assigned automatically in a PM/CS order when you enter/change the technical object at the point when: - Press the PERMIT button in IW31/32 - Press the save button in IW31/32 Have you tried this? When did you expect the permits to be added to the order?

PeteA


10, 2009 8:06 PM

Note 331093 did the trick, our ABAP guy actually discovered it around the same time you posted it - you guys must be literally on the same wave length :)

Pete, I think I misunderstood you - It worked exactly as I had hoped. Created a WO (either with the activity type there, or changed it). The Permit was brought up automatically upon Save, and would not let me Release unless the Permit was issued

Thank you everyone for participating!


11, 2009 9:25 AM

PMPSMM, Great news - and one of the longest posts I've been on...



You can buy me a beer if ever we meet... PeteA


11, 2009 3:10 PM

and it was my 1st post also -

for sure the first one is on me


11, 2009 4:03 PM

Can you make your second post an easy one - my head hurts after this one...

Hi Peter, Just discovered this post, I am facing the same issue as chuck. I read through all the replies here. Does this mean that, automatic permit assignment to work it is necessary to be in tcode IW31/IW32 and click on permit button. How to proceed if I want automatic permit assignment based on maintenance plan or maintenance item as maintained in structure CSEVPERMITS. Because scheduled orders will be created in background and it is not possible to click on permit button during the creation. ** This is working for me only if I assign characteristic 'Maintenance order type' and manually create the order. But not in case if I have used 'Maintenance plan or Maintenance item' and create order using IP10 or IP30.

Your response is highly appreciated.

First of all, this is very old post which has been closed long back. You should not have used this to post your query.



To answer query, Permits can be assigned automatically based on some criteria like equipment, functional location, order cost, or combination of certain field values in PM order. Check the fields available in CSEVPERMIT table. Using that combination, you can define the permit functionality. If permit is required for specific equipment or functional location always, then you can assign that permit in that master data. Usage of Permits in SAP Plant Maintenance


10, 2009 7:48 PM

Hi, Have you solved the issue with saving a value for the characteristic in IPMD ? Does this entry now contain a maintenance activity type value that matches the order in which you want to assign the permit? -Paul
