Automate SAP PM Work Order Generation for IS Tasks

Question:

I am seeking a solution to automate IS work order generation. Currently, the process is manual or batched using IP30. I believe there should be a way to schedule work orders to generate automatically, at least 4 weeks in advance and continuously generate for up to 4 weeks. Despite utilizing scheduling parameters, the system does not automatically generate the work orders.

If you're looking to streamline your order generation process, reaching out to an experienced ABAP Programmer (SAP Programmer) would be your best bet. Utilize transaction IW39 to access all orders and export them to a spreadsheet, ensuring to input the Period and Scheduled Start to filter specific dates. Chris Valencia, SAP Manager at Manila Water Company Inc in the Philippines, suggests seeking the expertise of a programmer familiar with SAP for efficient order automation.

I greatly appreciate the assistance with setting up the Deadline Monitoring Job. After configuring the parameters and creating a variant in IP30, I scheduled it to run in the background. The process has been successful in generating work orders. Thank you for the detailed instructions provided for this setup - they were excellent and very helpful!

You might want to explore using a combination of scheduling tools and setting up triggers to automate this. There are several platforms out there - like Task Scheduler, ZOHO, or even Microsoft Flow - depending on what types of systems you're working with. You should be able to set up a recurring task that auto-generates the work orders based on a timetable determined by you. Make sure, however, that your parameters and triggers are configured correctly, as inconsistencies can lead to unexpected results. Also, consider working with a consultant or IT professional who has experience in this area in case it's a bit more complex.
