How to Track Work Order Closing Dates in SAP

Question:

Looking to create a report in SAP that provides information on the closing dates of work orders? While IW38 does not offer the option to include the "malfunction end date," there are other ways to track this information. Thank you.

When looking for the end date of a malfunction, remember that the Malfunction End Date is a Notification field, not an Order field. To view this field, you must run a report that includes notifications, such as IW28. If you are in search of work order details, you may need to refer to the Actual Order Finish Date (the date of final confirmation) or the Reference Date. These details can be accessed through transaction IW38 reports.

Prometheus Group offers a KPI Report tool that can be customized to extract the specific information you need and display charts in SAP-PM. This tool from www.prometheusgroup.us is a valuable asset for tracking key performance indicators efficiently.

You might want to consider using SAP's IW39 transaction. It provides a wide array of filtering options for work orders including planned dates, release dates, and finish dates, which could help you track your order's closing date. Also, remember you have the choice to customize or even create new reports using QuickViewer, Query, and ABAP report, if you have a bit of programming knowledge.

You might want to look into using SAP's IW39 to view the complete list of work orders, where I believe you may be able to add custom filters or columns. I'd suggest experimenting with this along with linking certain fields with your associated closing dates. Making the right connections should provide you with the sought-after closing dates.

Have you considered using the transaction code IW39 instead? It allows you to pull more detailed work order data, and you could also look into customizing your report using ABAP if the standard reports don’t quite meet your needs. Additionally, checking out the use of function modules or even creating a SAP query might provide the flexibility you need to include the malfunction end date.

Have you considered using a custom report in SAP Query or ABAP? You can pull in data from the tables like IWERK and AFVC to get that malfunction end date and any other relevant fields you need. Additionally, you might want to explore the use of transaction IW49, which allows for displaying collective time confirmations and might get you closer to the details you're looking for.

Have you considered using a custom query in SAP Query or building an ABAP report? These methods can give you more flexibility in pulling the specific fields you need, like the malfunction end date alongside work order closing dates. Another option could be using the PM module reports or even exploring the use of BI tools to pull data from SAP for more comprehensive insights. It might take a bit of setup, but the payoff in tailored data could be really worth it!
