Shop order custom-data field not showing

[Former Member]

Hi,

For a shop order maintenance we are trying to populate data in a custom field. XSLT mapping has been done as per below.

                                        <sch:CustomField>

                                          <sch:Attribute>AUFNR</sch:Attribute>

                                            <sch:Value><xsl:value-of select="IDOC/E1AFKOL/AUFNR"/></sch:Value>

                                       </sch:CustomField>

In the response document the value is being retrieved properly. But the field "ECC Production Order No" is not populated under Custom Data tab.

Custom field section in the response XML is below.

Any idea... Please share.

Check ERP Field Maintenance (Shop Order category) and make sure there's a rule for customFieldList.

Dear Konstantin,

Thanks for your reply.

But I couldn't find any field, name ERP Field Maintenance. Can you please give some deatsils regarding this field.

Hi,

Assuming you are running 6.0.4 or 6.1 you should have ERP Field Maintenance activity in activity manager. If it's not there - try to make it visible to your usergroup in User Group Maint. and relogin.

Hello,

Are you referring the activity"data field maintenance"? We are trying to show the data of AUFNR in the custom field for shop floor, and AUFNR is already available in data field maintenance. Should I need to add anything here? Plz correct me if I am thinking in a wrong way.

No, there is an activity called ERP Field Maintenance. Make sure such row exists there:

Hi Konstantin,

I believe this is an version issue as we couldn't find any field like this. We are using the version 6.0.4.0

Please share which one you are using, we may need to upgrade into that.

[former_member182330]

As I recall this activity should be available starting from SP04. I beliebe you upgraded to SP04 but did not run any upgrade/migration procedures (at least Reload Initial Data in Site Maint. must be run, besides DB must be updated as some tables/columns were added). Please check Component Upgrade guide.

Konstantin

Hello Sushabha,

Sorry for misleading, for some reason I was sure this activity was also implemented in 6.0. I've checked with Product Management and unfortunately ERP Field Maint. was not backported to 6.0 as were some other new features. Thus there's no way to control how ERP WS work.

When existing production order is re-sent from ERP to ME where the only change is custom data - ME declines the update as key fields like BOM or Routing are not changed, thus entire process stops at this point. That's ERP WS design and we can't change it. If new order comes into ME along with custom data - custom fields should be populated.

If update is required, standard ProductionOrder WS can be utilized - /manufacturing-services/ProductionOrderService.

Konstantin
