Text of Std. Text Key in Routing operation

[former_member218164]

Hi friends,

I am facing a problem in the operation in Routing.

I have defined a standard text key in CA10. If I assign the standard key in the Default tab in Work center and select the Work center in routing against the particular operation, the std. text key is coming automatically BUT the text in the std. text key is not getting displayed in the Description section against the operation.

But if I do not assign the std. text key in the work center and manually select the std. text key in the operation..... the text maintained in the std. text key, is getting displayed in the Description section against the operation.

I failed to make out the reason for this difference. If the std. text key maintained in the WC is getting picked up along with the WC in the opration then why the text is not getting dispalyed in the DESCRIPTION section ?

secondly, There is no where, where the text of the Work Center ( name of the WC) is getting reflected against the operation.

Is there any report where we can get the description of the WC or that of the Std. text key against the operation ?

Kindly help.

Hi,

Have you maintained reference checkbox against the standard text key in work center default view?

you have to remove the refernce check box and amke it balnk. Now when you create arouting operation automatically standard text key will be defaulted . Mind you existing operations are not affceted by this change and its valid for new changes only.

Its a simple problem you have maintained the standard text key and its description, but not the long text. All that you need to do is in CA10 transaction enter the standard text key and click the pencil like Icon for change, then in the next screen which appears like a word pad maintain the text which you want to appear in the operation description when used.

Example:

Standard Text Key:

XXXXXXX - Turning Operation

Turning operation using CNC Machine.

Hope this helps....

Hi,

About your second problem it is not possible in stanrd sap. You can utilize the user fileds( use one of the text fields) to popluate the work center text in operation overview. you need to activate the user fileds in customization and miantin them in routing ooefrations. they can not be populated automatically unless you serch for a enhancement.
