When generating a sub order through IW36, the Sub Order Basic Start Date is currently set to match the Superior Order's start date. Is there a way to adjust the configuration to have the sub order's basic start date automatically set to the creation date and time? Thank you - Mike (new member to this community).
When creating sub-orders in SAP, it is important to adhere to the list of rules provided by SAP for efficient order management. One key rule is the setting of basic dates, which can be adjusted after the sub-order is created. Integration is seamless, allowing for the creation of sub-orders within sub-orders. The leading orders offer suggestions for the basic dates of lower-level orders. By establishing relationships between orders and sub-orders, they can be prioritized for processing in a specific sequence. Completion of a superior order is dependent on the technical completion of all associated sub-orders.
Thank you for getting back to me, David. I assume that the configuration for setting dates and establishing relationships can be found in the IMG settings. Could you please guide me to the specific section in the IMG where I can make these adjustments? Cheers, Mike.
In the order planning process, the dates on the sub-order are automatically determined by the superior order, without any input from you. Relationships between operations are established on the detail tabs of the operations. Start by creating the first relationship between an operation on the superior order and one on the sub-order. I suggest navigating to the Graphic - Network Structure section to finalize all relationships. It's important to make sure that all operations in orders are part of a relationship. Additionally, the transaction IW70 Scheduling of Overall Network must be completed to schedule these orders efficiently.
Thank you for your response. I have confirmed that the dates are automatically inherited from the higher authority in the system, and this setting cannot be altered through configuration. I will now investigate the connections between the different elements.
Hi Mike, welcome to the community! In SAP, I believe there isn't an out-of-the-box configuration to achieve this. The sub-order inherits the start date from the superior order by default. However, this can be circumvented using the user-exit IWO10009, where you can overwrite the 'work order start date' field with the 'creation date'. I advise taking a close look at the SAP documentation or consulting with your ABAP team.
Hi Mike, welcome to the community! Yes, you can actually adjust the settings in your SAP configuration to change how the Sub Order Basic Start Date is set. You might want to look into the transaction codes related to settings for order management or user exits/BADIs that can customize the behavior when creating sub orders. This way, you can have it automatically reflect the creation date and time instead of the Superior Order's start date. Let me know if you need help finding the right settings!
Hi Mike! Welcome to the community! To have the sub order's basic start date align with the creation date instead of the superior order's date in IW36, you may need to tweak the configuration settings or potentially look into user exit or BAdI implementations that handle date assignments during the sub order generation. This way, you can customize it to meet your needs. If you're comfortable with it, exploring these options can give you the flexibility you're looking for. Good luck, and let us know how it goes!
