Person Responsible for Work Center

[Former Member]

Hi PM Gurus,

My client wants responsible person field in work order to fill in automatically from a work center.

For example Work center is MECH - and i assigned 5 people with HRMS connection. They want 1 of them is responsible person in this work center and he should fill in responsible person area in order automatically, by no manual selection.

Is this possible or do you have any other solution?

Hakan,

You'll start getting replies when forum begins to understand the process you are trying to explain, before you reach the point of who is that Responsible person among 5, and the automation thereafter. For this I suggest you to explain the same in steps unto the you reach the query point, preferably with pictures.

sorry for the misunderstanding.

for example i assigned 5 people to MECH work center with HRMS connection to be able to make time confirmations.

Client want to see one of them as responsible for this work center in order screen, responsible person area. And they want to see this personnel number to fill in automatically in that area.

To me I am able to understand the part which says  that Client wants something to be filled automatically in the Person Responsible field. Not before. Hope better help flows to you at this level of communication.

i don't know how can i be more explanatory. You can check this work center in belove image. there 2 people and 1 position assigned. And on other image you can see 'Person Resp' field under Work center field.

i ask is it possible to fill in this 'Responsible Pers.' field in order automatically from any of these 2 people or position? or is there any other way to fill in responsible person field by default?

Hakan Ceroglu,

I understand your requirement perfectly..

But what I don't understand is which one of the two people should be assigned to the order header?

There are some options in the IMG (Assign Partner Determination Procedure to Order, TCode OIOM) using the Split options, but this doesn't set the order header value from memory.

You will probably need to develop a solution.

ok, thanks for the reply, it makes sense now, so it is not possible to fill in this field by this way.

do you have any suggestions for my need? I only need an area in order screen to fill in by default, with work center connection.

Right from the beginning there was no doubt that It would be none other than development.

Your repeated 'Is it possible' question could be answered 'Yes'. But for this you should be able to explain your requirement clearly to your ABAPer so that he would translate this into code.

Next question remains identifying and Enhancement for this.

Summary

1. It is not impossible for an expert ABAPer

2. Identify a User-Exit or BADI for this purpose.

3. Develop code and implement.

This space can help in point no.2 (But seems difficult) . For technical help for this (point2) and beyond, ABAP space may be contacted.

Hakan Ceroglu,

There is no specific user-exit for defaulting data into IW31, however I have mis-used IWO10005 (determination of profit ctr) before for this purpose.

In this user-exit you can use function module CO_IH_SET_HEADER to update the data.

Talk to your ABAP Team who should be able to help.

Thanks everyone for the replies, i understand it's not possible without developing.

Person / Position responsible in Work Center & Person Responsible in Order Header / Operations general data tab are totally different.

Person / Position Responsible in Work Center will be derived from Configuration whereas Person Responsible in Order header / Operations general data will be derived from HRMS assignment to Work center. HRMS assignment would be done using Employee master.

Both are in completely different source. As you have assigned 5 people through HRMS, what would be your logic to define the Person Responsible in Order header / Operations??

May be, based on Personnel designation in Employee Master, you can define the Person in Order Header / Operations. If same designation applies more than one person at a specific point of time, what would be your logic??

Even with development, it would be fuzzy logic but code may look simple. Its advisable to go for manual selection of Person at Order header / Operations / even at Confirmations.

Hakan,

How can you automatically default ONE responsible person in the order header, if thee are 5 HR personnel assigned to the work centre??

Hi,

It's a right question, but i think i have to assign 5 people to make time confirmations.

i think maybe i can use 'Position' assignments to Work Center, but is it possible to fill in Responsible person field in order automatically by that way?
