Use

This IMG activity describes the settings you have to make to be able to enter shift notes for a work center. Shift notes are comments on persons, work centers, or special events that cannot be entered elsewhere in the system. You will find the transactions for entering shift notes in the SAP Easy Access Menu under Logistics --> Central Functions --> Shift Notes and Shift Reports.

You will find the IMG activities necessary for the shift notes below this IMG activity.

Requirements

Standard settings

In the standard system, no separate notification type is supplied for shift notes. For this reason, you must define your own notification type for the shift notes. You must then make further settings for this shift note type. You can carry out these Customizing activities manually, as described below, or have some of these steps performed by the system by activating the BC set COCF_BCS_SN_CUST.

Activities

  1. In the IMG activity Define Notification Types below, create a new notification type for shift notes, such as notification type SN.

    In the Notification Origin field, choose the option General Notification.

    You must assign a profile in the Catalog Profile field. You can choose the setting 000000001 (General Catalog Profile), for example.

    The remaining fields stay empty.

  2. In the IMG activity Define Number Ranges, assign the new notification type to any desired number range. You can use the number range that is assigned to the notification type G0 in the standard system, for example.
  3. In the IMG activity Define Screen Templates, proceed as follows:
    • Choose the entry Define Screen Areas and Tabs.
      • The Display Notification Types: Overview screen appears.
      Here you choose the new notification type and double-click on Notification Header and Screen Areas.
      The Notification Header: Change Screen Areas screen appears.
      In the Screen Type Header field, choose the entry O700 General Notification and save.
    • Double-click on Simplified View: Screen Areas.
      • The Simple View: Change Screen Areas screen appears.
      Choose New Entries.
      On the detail screen, enter 2 in the Tab Page Allocatn field, 130 (shift note) in the Screen Area 1 field, and 131 (shift note attachments) in the Screen Area 2 field. Save your input.
      Note
      If you want to use further screens, you must note the following:
      If you have entered the screen 130, you cannot enter more than the maximum value of 3 in the Tab Page Allocatn field. If you specify a value greater than 3 or the value 0, this may cause representational problems on the shift note screen.
    • Double-click on Extended View: Tabstrips and Screen Areas.
      • The Extended View: Change Tabstrips and Screen Areas screen appears.
      In the Tab field, chose the option 10\TAB01.
      In the Tab Header field, enter shift note.
      Set the Tab indicator.
      Enter 2 in the Tab Page Allocatn field.
      Enter 130 (shift note) in the Screen Area 1 field and 131 (shift note attachments) in the Screen Area 2 field.
      Choose Save.
  4. In the IMG activity Define Priorities, choose the entry Priority Type for Notification Type.

    The Change Priority Type per Notification Type screen appears. Select the new notification type and choose Details.

    On the detail screen, assign the notification type a priority type (such as priority type G0 Priority Gen. Notification).

  5. In the IMG activity Make Settings for Printing of Shift Notes, check the standard settings and assign the notification type you want to use for the shift notes. You can use the standard PDF form COCF_SN_PDF for the shift notes. You can adjust this form to suit your requirements using transaction SFP by copying it and changing it accordingly. You must then create a new shop floor paper and assign the new form here.
  6. In the IMG activity Make Settings for Shift Note Type, create the new notification type as an entry and make the detailed settings for the shift note type. To be able to use the transactions for processing shift notes (SHN1, SHN2, and SHN3), you must set the Independent Shift Note indicator in the Usage area.
  7. If you want to find shift notes in the system using a full-text search function, you must make the settings for full-text search.
  8. In work center processing, you enter the shift note type on the Basic Data tab page in the Shift Note Type field. You are now able to enter shift notes for the work center.

    You can also assign the shift note type to a hierarchy. Then you can enter shift notes for the hierarchy.

    If there is just a single work center or you only have authorization for a work center (authorization object C_COCF_SRA), when you enter a shift note, the initial screen is skipped and you are taken directly to the entry screen. The same applies to the hierarchy (Authorization Object C_COCF_SRH).
