I have created a maintenance plan using IP41, and have it set to call 12/27/2022. How can I add long text into maint plan to generate the correct PM notification text? I do not have a order number yet.

Unfortunately, the IP41 system does not support the ability to add long text into maintenance plans. However, you can create a custom notification text in the maintenance plan settings, which will allow you to specify the exact text that will be used in the PM notification. To do this, select the maintenance plan, and then select the “Notification” tab. In the “Description” field, you can enter any text that you would like to be included in the PM notification.

In order to add long text to a maintenance plan in SAP Enhanced Maintenance and Service Planning, you will need to use the IP31 transaction. On the initial screen of IP31, enter the maintenance plan and select the "Long Text" button. This will bring up a text editor window that you can use to add the desired long text to the maintenance plan. Once you have added the desired text, hit the "Save" button and the long text will be attached to the maintenance plan.

When in IP31, it does not give me an option for long text. I can only see in PM, but cannot edit or change it.
