Notification print disabled...

[former_member205463]

Dear Experts

Pls help me to resolve the issue of notification print in T-Code IW23. System status changed to NOPT which is main cause i analyse so far. But we can't change the same. Also when dowload the print it gives message notification downloaded.

Notification is downloaded on saving

Message no. IM312

Below are screen capture for your ref.

Thanks

Hi Ashif,

When you try to download the Notification using Print - Download, system will set the status as NOPT.

This is a standard behavior.

NOPT status is updated after you clicked Print - Download and Saved the notification.

Hi Ashif,

Print option will be enabled, if order is not assigned to Notification.

SAP does not allow notification to be printed after it is closed. If you have an order assigned, then try print through the order (order should not be TECO). This is the only work around.

Hi Maria,

Through Order also it does not allow print. There should be workaround to get print.

Thanks

Hi Ashif,

If your work order is not CLSD, then you will be able to print notification along with Work order, based on the smart form you have kept in place.

Additionally, there is a new business function available to print the work order when it is create or completed. Whether there is any cheat available to print the notification along with work order.

hey Ashif,

Please print using the CHANGE transaction codes IW22 for notification and IW32 for orders. For orders you can also use IW3D.

Thanks

But issue is not resolved. Even tried changing the notification and order. Tried using IW3D t-code.

Sorry if I'm not understanding your query.

Are you trying to print a notification via IW23? If so you can't as far as I can see. You need to open it up in Change transaction code to print - IW22.

Please provide additional information / screenshots and the scenario.

Cheers,

Hi Ashif,

Just to summarize the standard behaviour.

1. Completed Notification can be printed via IW22 / IW23 if Order is not assigned

2. If order is assigned, then only way is to take print via Order. If Order is in REL or TECO, when doing the Print system will propose Notification also in the Shop paper selection.

If your case is not either of the following then, you cannot print the closed Notification.

If you want to do this, then you need to go for a custom enhancement.

Thanks Maria and Khayyam,

To aviod the scenario i'm building Z transaction to print the notification outside the IW23/IW22.

The system behavior is explained in note 167432, which is already included in our system:

"As of Release 4.5, the printing [of notifications] is permitted in the display mode in general. Exception: PM and CS notifications with an order assigned cannot be printed in the display mode."

In transaction IW33 (display orders) printing has never been allowed. Notifications assigned to orders cannot be printed in IW23 (display notifications) as any user could then print order papers directly via IW23 which is not the desired behavior.

SAP suggested to core mode

LIQS0F20, Form EXCLUDING_FCODE.

  ...

* Auftrag *

  IF VIQMEL-AUFNR IS INITIAL.

    MOVE FCODE_WOAZ TO IFCODE-FCODE.

    APPEND IFCODE.

* Im Anzeigen wird das Drucken von Meldungen mit zugeordnetem

* Auftrag nicht erlaubt

* ELSEIF T365-AKTYP = YAKTYPA. "modification delete

*   MOVE FCODE_PRNT TO IFCODE-FCODE. "modification delete

*   APPEND IFCODE. "modification delete

*   MOVE FCODE_PRPS TO IFCODE-FCODE. "modification delete

*   APPEND IFCODE. "modification delete

*   MOVE FCODE_PRND TO IFCODE-FCODE. "modification delete

*   APPEND IFCODE. "modification delete

  ENDIF.

  ...

1. Endform.

My recommendation is do an enhancement in beginning of EXCLUDING_FCODE

to clear out T365-AKTYP so it doesn't execute the modification delete section.  This will enable to print.
