Definition

You can use this indicator to influence the maintenance processing process. For example, you can prevent that every employee who can complete orders and notifications can also influence the scheduling of maintenance plans through the data.

With this indicator you can:

  • Activate a separate completion for the maintenance plan for the completion of call object notification and order.
  • Activate a dialog for the completion of notifications and orders using list processing.
  • Activate additional functionality for completing the call objects notification and order using a BAdI.

Use

Separate completion for the maintenance plan

If you select the indicator completion date, you can enter a reference time that only applies to the maintenance plan, when you are completing a call object (notification or order) generated from a maintenance plan. To do this, you can also use the maintenance-plan-based fields completion date and completion time when you are completing an order or a notification.

These fields are pre-filled with the original plan date and the current time. If the current system date is displayed, then the original plan date is in the future and is replaced by the system date.

Complete maintenance notification and order using list processing

By activating the indicator completion date, you are offered a dialog window when completing notifications and orders using list processing.

There, on the one hand, you can complete the notification or the order, and, on the other hand, you can specify separate completion dates for the maintenance plan. For this you have the following options:

Orders or notifications

  • Determination using the Customizing settings of the object
    Reference date and reference time are determined according to the Customizing settings of the object using the order type or notification type.
  • Reference date and time
    Reference date and time can be freely defined.

Maintenance plan

  • Plan date of maintenance plan
    The completion date is filled with the original plan date. The time is set with the default "23:59_59".
  • Reference data of the maintenance call object
    The system copies the reference data from the call object.
  • Completion date and time
    Completion date and time can be freely defined.

BAdI IWO1_ORDER_BADI completion data for maintenance plan

Activating the indicator completion data makes the BAdI IWO1_ORDER_BADI available to you when you are completing the call objects notification and order.

You can use the BAdI to prevent the data from being transferred on to the maintenance plan. This can be useful, for example, for a particular maintenance plan category or a particular user circle using customer tables.
