Editing of scheduled dates in Process Order Operations

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a requirement, in which the client would like to change the Scheduled dates in the operation details of a process order.

In the header screen of a process order, if we change the basic start / finish dates (depending on forward or backward scheduling), and reschedule the process order, the process order is rescheduled, with the new dates.

The client's requirement is, they should be able to change the Scheduled dates in the tab "Operation - Dates", of the "Operation overview" screen, in a process order. Normally the field is not editable, and the system calculates the dates, based on the start / finish dates, entered in the process order header.

I would like to know, what is the way out, to meet this requirement.

Thanks.

Hi,

We used the transaction CM21, and the user was satisfied, with the solution.

Thanks.

Hi,

As every body else is explaining it is not possible for standard SAP , as of normal business or any business scenario why would a client want to change the operation dates from Production order ( still not understood.....)

There are two options to do that:

1) Copy the whole transaction ( programmes ) into some Z - transaction and in the programme you can change the object ( CO_VG_OPR_*) from being grayed out.

This will alllow you to change the dates.

2) you can go for enhancement with the following FM

BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN

I suggest you to clear these things with client.These things require more of ABAP work.

And as said changing the standard behaviour of the system can cause performance issues.

Please close the thread if satisfied.

Normally, operation dates are linked to the header dates and thru the operation relationships, so there is no enough place to go.

Try using some capacity leveling transaction, such as CM21; so, you can change the start date of each operation and make this kind of movements.

Good luck

Hi,

In the scheduling parameters of Process order ( Tcode opuz) there is

check box for From Production dates under scheduling control for detailed

scheduling .Enable the box.

Now you can change the scheduled dates in the process order header

and then again scheduled it.

Hello Nanda,

Thanks for your response.

But I am not looking at changing the dates in the header of a process order.

I am looking at changing the dates the operation details level, in the process order.

Dear,

In STD SAP as I know it may not be possible.

It should not be done as whatever changes you are doing may not change the header dates.

Please let us iunderstand the business case where you need to do this. Requirement is strange and as a consultant you should not allow to do this as there will be conflicts between header dates and operation dates.
