IW38 collective printing of WO (supress the print dialog)

Former Member

Hi,

I have a requirement where user selects more than one PM order on list of IW38 and then selects Order-->Print.

Now the system is showing the print dialog for every order but this is tedious to do when we have more than 100 orders.

Is there a way to supress the print dialog? I browsed through SDN and found that by changing the user setting this could be achieved. But is there any other way (coding/customization) that this could be achieved?

Thanks!

Regards,

K

You should do a custom ABAP program for you to accomplish multiple printing of WO. Recently did this program for a client who was in the same dilemma as you are.

I think I may have to rephrase my question. Sorry about that.

I would like to supress the window where you select the shop paper.

If we select multiple work orders, we will have to select a shop paper each time. This process is tiring if you have multiple WO. I would like to select the list of WOs and select the shop paper to be printed only once. Is there anyway I could achieve this?

Hello,

Check your User-settings (table TPMUS). There is a field TPMUS-PRWIN

(Display Dialog Box from List Editing when Printing).

If you need to update this setting:

-> go to IW31/IW32 and select the option Extras -> Settings -> Default

values -> Disp. PrtDlgBox.

OR

-> go to SE16 and update it for your users.

hi David,

Thanks for you assistance.

I would like to supress the "Select shop paper" window. I tried this setting but it still asks me to select the shop paper for each WO I am trying to print.

Hi David,

Yes, I have tried the changes in IW32 as suggested by you. But I still get the "Select shop paper" window.

I tried to look at the program for IW38 and found that the program calls the transaction IW3D when we print. The transaction is called for each Work Order that is selected for printing. Thats the reson why the user is required to select the shop paper for each WO.

Hello,

The behavior is in a hard coded and so intended, for example:

LCOIHFBJ, form PRINT_ORDER_F55

...

if sy-calld is initial

or sy-tcode ne 'IW3D'.

*... call popup for papers not from IW38 and return PRINT_MODE and RC

PERFORM SET_WORKPAPERS_F55 USING SPACE PRINT_VIEW RCODE.

else.

*-> CALLed over IW38 -> IW3D

PERFORM SET_WORKPAPERS_F55 USING yx PRINT_VIEW RCODE.

endif.

*... Formular-Popup after printview

...

The behavior can be changed only from a modification.

David
