Create a maintenance order on holiday(message IW437: Date is not a workday)

[j_madariaga]

Hi, everybody!

We are trying to create a maintenance order (transaction IW31) on a day defined as a holiday in the factory calendar.

We get this message (Message no. IW437)

Date XX.XX.XXXX is not a workday; last workday is XX.XX.XXXX

And we cannot create the order.

Is there any way of changing it to warning in order to be able to create the order?

Or just a way to create an order on a holiday?

We tried to add that message as warning category using:

Plant Maintenance and Customer Service=>Maintenance and Service Processing=>Maintenance and Service Orders=>Message control

But it didn't work.

Any clue?

Thanks in advance

Regards,

J

If you want to create maintenance orders only in holidays, create factory calendar with holidays & assign that factory calendar in work center.

So that, you can create maintenance orders only in holidays.

Greetings Madariaga,

You can't control this message via Message Control; Does it come up as a "red" (error) message? In IW31/IW32 etc. this should normally come up as a "yellow" (warning) message and you should be able to acknowledge it by pressing "Enter", then proceeding or saving the Order.
