Introduction

This page details of the Work Order Operations Page.

Business and SAP Context

The Technical Object assigned to the Order Operation will be automatically added to the Orders object list - conditional that the assignment of Objects at the Operational Level is controlled by SAP setting for the Work Order Type and, where not applicable, the field is hidden. See IMG - PM & CS - Maintenance & Service Processing - Maintenance & Service Order - Functions & Settings - Define Notification & Order Integration | Assignment of  Operations to Objects List Entries Inactive.


Where Operational Account Assignment is active then any new Operations will be assigned the default settlement rule. To determine if Operational Account Assignment is active, the switch LOG_EAM_OLC must be active and the operation Plant and Work Center must allow account assignment. See IMG - PM & CS - Maintenance & Service Processing - Maintenance & Service Order - Functions & Settings - Costs at Operation Level - Define Cost Settings.
