One of the users wants to have an equipment class automatically default to the equipment master during the create stage.

The user also requires that when the equipment is either in display or change to display an information warning message prompting the user to review the classification and its associated characteristics.

I have checked the configuration for Classification and PM and haven’t found anything that would satisfy the client’s requirements. This appears be a custom change to the code.

How do I fulfill all the user requirements?

You could create equipment with reference to another (say dummy master equipment).

Then utilize user-exit IEQM0003 (Additional checks before equipment update) to pop-up your warning message.

You could further investigate the following:

Use IEQM0003 to kick-off a batch program or workflow to re-enter the equipment (after initial save) and add data.

Create new event/method for business object EQUI (TCode SWO1).
