Confirmation of operation in MO

[Former Member]

Dear PM Guys,

During confirmation of operation through IW41 or IW42,my client wants the time

like lunch,tea,shift change also to me entered for a particular operation.

My suggestion is enter the correct time spent for work in ACTUAL WORK and enter the time taken from start to end in ACTUAL DURATION(ACTUAL WORK+TIME SPENT DUE TO LUNCH,TEA ETC).

Eg operation-1 Actual Work=30 hours

Actual duration=34 hours

(4hours for lunch,tea,change of shift etc)

Is it correct or any other Good Option is there.

Moreover in the same screen(IW41or IW42),if I enter Work starts on and Work Ends on fields why the total hours between this is not automatically appearing in the Actual Duration field.

Pl guide me.

Regards

What is the purpose behind recording these? Are you asking for analyzing these confirmations later? Or is it for work scheduling?

If you need to perform analysis then create activity types for each of these breaks also. And book time under them. But explain to the customer the extra data entry they will have 2 do. So let them do this only if the advantage is much more compared to the effort and cost of maintaining this data even if IW42 is used for confirming the times. Also, if you increase the number of activity types then u might also as well have one called creating confirmations!

hi iswari

for achieving this you should set the scheduling parameters as Scheduling with breaks in IMG menu and while creating the capacity for workcenter you have to specify the breaks .then the order will be scheduled with breaks

in SAP while confirmation you have to enter the duration ,system will not calculate the duration based on the time specified .IF anyone has other options please guide us
