Maintenance order settlement

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus;

I would like to know, how can I stop maintenance order to be settled before it is technically completed? I think, it would be more appropriate if order is settled when it is TECOed instead of in 'release status'. If I am wrong can you pls. suggest me the concept?

Points assured.

Thanks & Regards

Hemant,

there are 2 options to restrict settlement process.

1 create the User status "NSET" and configure the Business rules to stop settlement process. When you release the order set the user status to NSET. When the order is complete and ready to be settled , change the USER status.

2 Change the SAP statndar business rule for the System Status REL.

I would recommend you to go for option 1

Hope this Helps you

hi henamt

There is one option make settelement rule has <b>mandatory for completion</b> in customizing field so that when you try to settle error will come has no settlement rule maintained.Then you can technically complete the order then proceed futher.One problem will raise ie when the error occrured user can also go to the order in change mode and specify the settlement rule.(iam not sure) for this you can have user status which will allow the settlement rule tobe created when TECO is performed

Thyagarajan;

My problem is, maintenance department, gives the order list at the end of the month to CO. It might contain orders which are in release mode (though I suggested you filter only orders which have status 'completed'). So to stop CO from settling the orders which are still in process, I want to have TECO as rule, for maintenance order settlement.

Is there any solution on this?

Thanks & Regards

hi hemant

you can change the business tranaction allowed for REL status in BS22 ,but i recommend no to change standard SAP.

Also you mentioned that maintenance department will give the order no the CO ,it is better you filter the maintenance order which have the status TECO and CO can proceed.while using the transaction display/change maintenance order you create an variant and specify the status which cannot be changed by user, so every time they execute the T code they will get the completed order only.
