PM order Material availability check after adding a new material

[u32211002]

Hi All

Below is the business requirement.

After releasing the PM order, components can be added. The availability check automatically runs, and the logs are updated when saving.

The customer wants to send an error message when saving the order (after release) if the added component has 0 (zero) available stocks in the storage location.

Has anyone come across a solution for this?

Appreciate your inputs.

Hello u32211002,

Populating error message is not possible in standard SAP. You need to do an enhancement in maintenance order screen. But there is a workaround which you can try. Please read further 😆

Here is workaround:

1. When you save order and order is already released then system status of order is set as MSPT - Material shortage if there is no material availalbe in storage location.
2. Now you can run the report IW38 with system status MSPT and creation date and time on selection screen. SAVE the variant. This will show only those orders where there is a shortage of materials.
3. Afterwards, run this report in background and send the result of background job to the desired email.
4. Schedule the background job in every 5 minutes and put the selection entries in such a way that no repetitive orders are reported.
