Work Order Print Manager User Manual

Introduction
This file can be downloaded as a PDF in this location: http://prometheusgroup.us/manuals/wopm/
WOPM.pdf.
The Work Order Print Manager (WOPM) streamlines the work order printing process by displaying all
documents related to a work order into a single screen. Work Order Print Manager gathers
documents on the work order itself, shop papers, functional location, equipment, materials, and
operations' document PRT's. The documents may be attached via object services or SAP DMS.
Documents are printed sequentially using a Windows executable file that sits on the end user's
desktop. This is our solution to one of the biggest problems with printing in standard SAP. Since SAP
uses asynchronous processing, smaller documents tend to be printed before larger documents without
regard to sequence. Print manager solves this issue by using Microsoft Windows to direct printing
traffic.
Also, note that no external servers are necessary to use print manager. The ABAP portion is delivered
as an SAP transport and an executable is installed on the user's computer.

Hardware and Software Requirements


Prometheus Group's software will work on your work station if the standard SAP front end is installed.
We enhance standard SAP by delivering a large amount content in a way, which is easy to use and
understand. While hardware is not a requirement, meeting these hardware specifications will greatly
enhance the overall user experience.
2009 Prometheus Group, Inc.

Hardware and Software Requirements

Recommended Hardware:
Screen resolution of 1280x1024 or better.
Work Order Print Manager is comprised of 2 software components. The ABAP component gathers,
previews, and displays the documents in a pop up screen. The ABAP programming also sends the
documents to local machine. The actual printing is handled with executable component. The
executable written in a programming language called C# . C# requires that Microsoft .NET Framework
2.0 is installed on any computer that will be running WOPM.
Required Software:
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
Windows 2000 or Windows XP with the latest service packs.

Functional Documentation
Using Work Order Print Manager is simple. There are two ways to call WOPM. The first way is to call
WOPM from a user exit on the work order header; the second way is selecting orders from a list edit
and pressing the print icon. From WOPM users may print, preview, and save selections for printing.
Note: Each installation may vary slightly. (i.e. the button text may be different, WOPM may be
attached to customer-specific transactions, etc).
To call Work Order Print Manager from IW32, click on the "Enhancement" tab and press the Work
Order Print Manager button.

To call Work Order Print Manager from a list edit, select the order(s) you wish to print and press the
print icon.

2009 Prometheus Group, Inc.

Work Order Print Manager User Manual

After calling Work Order Print Manager you will see a pop-up. The pop up is in a tree format.
The top level of the tree expands into work orders.
o Work orders expand down into objects:
Shop papers
PRT documents
Equipment documents
Functional location documents
Material documents
Work order documents
Each object expands into individual documents for the object.
All work orders will at least have a shop paper folder. If a work order does not have any documents for
an object, the object folder is not displayed (see order 814400 below).

type.

Version 2.00: The preview column now shows the actual location of the document for documents
saved as URL's. Any document that are generated or saved inside the SAP database (i.e. shop
papers and object service attachments) are listed as "Stored in SAP".
Version 2.00: Documents can also be previewed by double-clicking on the paper icon to the left of the
document.

Version 2.00: WOPM now validates URL's. If a bad URL exist the the checkbox and preview

Selecting Printers
The printers used in WOPM come from the list of printers installed on each user's computer. The
default printer from the user's front end machine is used to fill the printer column in Work Order Print
Manager. To change the printer for a particular document, click on the printer name to the right of the
document and select a printer from the list of printers. The document will now output to the selected
printer.
When starting WOPM, all documents are set to output to the user's Windows default printer.

Clicking on a printer from the printer column pop us a list of printers to select from. Making a selection
from the printer list will divert the document to the selected printer.

Work Order Print Manager is a function module that can accept a list of SAP PM work orders for
printing. The function module may be called from any order or operation list edit. It may also be called
from IW32 with a single order number. The following section will cover how to integrate Work Order
Print Manager with IW32 using user exits and work order list edits. The section "Setting Up Shop
Papers" covers code modifications for SAPscript and Smart Form shop papers.

1. Save the file "saplcoih.e3000.txt" to a shared network drive. If you do not have this file please
contact your Prometheus Group representative to obtain it.
2. Activate GuiXT.

4.4

Installing the executable


WOPM uses an executable file to collate and send documents to networked printers. The reason and
executable is used is because SAP prints with asynchronously processing thus smaller documents
tend to get printed before larger documents. In WOPM, documents are printed in the ordered they are
displayed.
Another advantage is WOPM uses printer's attached to the computer's front end instead SAP printers,
which are often difficult to set up.
Steps to installing the WOPM executable file.
1. Prometheus Group will provide you with a file called "installPrintDiversion.exe"
2. copy this file into the directory that should hold the print manager executable (default is "C:\temp\",
but alternate locations can be defined in configuration.)
3. Run the executable file "installPrintDiversion.exe". The installation process will take 10-15 minutes.
When the program finishes installing you will see this popup message.

following instructions guide you on how to set up your shop papers to work with print manager.
Sapscript and Smart forms are handled a little bit differently, the sections below outline the process for
each.

4.6.1

WOPM set up for SAPscripts


This document details how to set up SAPscript shop paper for print manger.
1. Determine all shop paper programs that need to be converted. A list of shop
papers for SAP PM can be found using from transaction OIDF (you will need
SPRO authorizations to use OIDF).

3. Open the output program in se38.
4. Find include that hold the form/endform for OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM.
The include that usually hold this information is RIPRIF01.
5. In this include insert the highlighted code for global declarations
