Postpone All Planned Orders

[Arthur Wang]

Question:

Can we postpone all planned orders for a specified period of time?

It means whenever the plant is under shutdown for 30 Days, major work in that duration will not be generated.

Answer:

You may use revisions for rescheduling the orders. I am not aware of any method to “stop” the planned orders getting generated.

Assuming that you are talking about orders generated from maintenance plans, here’s what you can do to resolve the problem:

1. Skip the relevant calls via T-Code IP10.

2. Alternatively investigate user-exit IPRM0002 (Determine planned date info for maintenance plan).

3. By ip02 you can lock the order and when you require the service again, you can unlock the same.

To unlock, do the following:

1. Go to IP02 —> maintenance plan —-> function —-> active
/inactive —> deactivate.

2. Check the schedule. You will find the schedule locked.

Hence you will not get any order for your specified time.

Until you un-lock the plan, IP30 will then try to create the back-logged orders.

Deactivating a maintenance plan is not the same as locking an order.
