OK Anand,

It's sufficient from your side. Prima-facie does not look an easy one. Also does not look like user-exit, because no such user-exit is there in this area. May be some BADI applied or some implicit enhancement is in place.

Is it for one type of Notification or for all types ?

Dear Sir,

It is for all type of notification.

To define the Partner Function:

There are many predefined Partner Functions available. If you want to add anything new, you can copy from existing one by clicking Copy icon.

Partner Determination Procedure:

Click on Partner Determination Procedure icon as shown below screen shot.

Make new entries as per the wish. Partner determination procedure can be different for Master data, notifications & orders. Even, different Partner Determination procedure can be created based on Technical object categories, Notification types & Order types.

Once after defining Partner Determination Procedure, Partner functions should be assigned to Partner Determination Procedure.

Select the appropriate Partner Determination procedure & click on Functions in Determination Procedure.

Assign the Partner Functions created newly or available in Standard.

There are 4 options against each Partner Function.

1.      No Change Possible – Once you assign the Partner & save the document, you can’t edit that anymore in that document

2.      Partner Mandatory – If you want to make specific Partner in document to be maintained compulsorily, then you can make use this option

3.      Unique – If you want to maintain some partner function only one time in a document, then you can use this option. By having this, you can’t have same Partner function again in the same document

4.      Appointments – If you want to update the Calendar of that employee (this is more of sales perspective), then you can use this option.

Partner Determination Procedure Assignment to Technical Object Category:

To Equipment:

Menu Path	IMG – Plant Maintenance and Customer Service – Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service – Technical Object – Equipment – Assign Partner Determination Procedure to Equipment category
Transaction Code	OIEV

Assign the Partner Determination Procedure to Equipment category.

To Functional Location:

Transaction Code	SPRO

Assignment of Partner Determination Procedure to Notifications:

Menu Path	IMG – Plant Maintenance and Customer Service – Maintenance and Service Processing – Maintenance and Service Notifications – Notification Creation – Partners – Define Partner Determination Procedure and Partner Function

There are 3 options.

1.      Define Partner Determination Procedure – New Partner Determination Procedures can be defined here as we saw before

2.      Assign Partner Determination Procedure to Notification Type

3.      Assign Partner Functions to Notification Type

Assignment of Partner Determination Procedure to Order types:

By having appropriate View Profiles in Technical Objects & Notification types, Partners tab can be brought to the Technical object screen / Notification screen. But for PM order, only by assigning Partner Determination Procedure to Order type itself will bring the Partner tab to order screen.

Hi Anand,

if i am rightly understood ur issue, pls try this.

You want to create a nitification without enter the person responsible field right?.

GOTO Tcode: OIAL.

AT here you can find the field and check is it marked as mandatory.

change to "input option" and save and now you try to create the notification without entering the field.

i think now you can do the testing.

let me know if any further things needed.

[Former Member]

Dear Shiva,

In this  t code no option of making mandatory field for person responsible.

Regards

Anand

[jogeswararao_kavala]

There is no such provision in OIAL. He made a guess work. BTW you have responded very lately and still not responded to others who were trying to help you.

Hi Anand,

Check in VOP2 for the partner function assigned to your notification type.

There you can set Partner as mandatory

Regards

Anand

[jogeswararao_kavala]

Please post the picture of this mandatory message to make-out the source of this trigger. Also post VOP2 screen.

[MTerence]

Hi Anand,

If you try to save the data, what kind of error message it gives ? What is the message number ?

Regards

Terence

[former_member223579]

Hi anand,

and one more thing,

my suggestion is,

Why you want to make the field as "Not mandatory", thr is some purpose thats y they have mentioned as mandatory field.

try to create some person responsible and fill the field by using that person responsible name.

GOTO : PA30 fill the relevant details and use that in notification.
