PM order: operation short text mandatory for active operations only?

[former_member254486]

Hi experts,

a quick question regarding operation short texts in the PM order:

I would like to make short texts in PM order operations mandatory.

When I set the short text to "mandatory" in the "operation list customizing" field selection (Tcode OIOPL), all of the operations in the order shown in the operation list (standard 0010 to 0170) get the short text field marked as mandatory.

This means that a short text is expected even for operations which are not used/active, which is a pain if I only want to use operations 0010 and 0020...

Does anyone know of an OSS note that fixes this?

Or is there some other customizing that needs to be done?

Thanks a lot!

Andreas

Hi,

There is no fix for this as its not an error as such. The screen processing does not distinguish between active and non-active operation lines. So if short text is mandatory it will be required on every operation line. OIOPL is not suitable for marking fields mandatory for that reason - ok for hiding fields or making display only.

Consider the exit as suggested.

Andreas,

You can certainly check it when saving an order via user-exit IWO10009.

It may also be possible via BADI IWO1_SCREEN_MODIFY.
