Default Standard Text Key or Standard Text to first Operation of Order

[Former Member]

I would like to have a standard text key or standard text defaulted for the first operation of an order created via IW31 of certain order type.

For example we have an order type called CORR for corrective orders. When ever there is a break fix, the user would create a CORR order via IW31. When this order type is used I want the first operation to have a predefined Standard text key defaulted. In this case we was our first operation to have a safety message and precautions listed.

This would work similar to a planned order that calls from a task list and has text in the task list.

I did some review and testing of the "Assign Standard Texts for Short Messages to Order Types", but as I understand it, this only works for sending message and not including text on the operation.

Is what I want to do possible? Or would it make more sense to use an exit like IWO10020, Maintenance order: Automatically include task list . I guess I could create a general task list and use that in this exit for all CORR order types.

Darrell Dorsey,

As indicated above, We have accomplished a similar scenario using the user exit IWO10020, Maintenance order: Automatically include task list.This provides the flexibility to adjust the information as you move forward without doing any additional programming. I would suggest to use this technique to accomplish your needs.

Thanks for the reply, I believe this will be the way to go as well.

Were you able to create a task list that could be used across multiple planning plants?

Am I correct in thinking that this will surely have to be custom programming? Am I correct in thinking that there is no SAP provided config for this sort of function?

For the scenario that you are referring to, i believe this would be the option that would be flexible. Yes, you will have to little bit of custom development for this and i don't see any standard functionality to default the standard text on the first operation for specific order types. You should be able to attach a task list where its planning plant differs with that of the Order plant.

There are much more simpler options available, if you are open to using a different work center(You could default the Standard text key on the work center), if you are open to create a separate transaction for this order type (you could default the Standard text by creating a transaction variant through SHDO), If you are using GuiXT widely in your organization you could write a small simple script to default the Standard text for this order type.
