  • What causes this issue?

    You want to assign a document to the task list at operation level and
    save the assignment. However, the document with visualized spare parts
    has document type &V1&, whose documents can be assigned to the task list
    at operation level, but not to the maintenance order at operation level.

    System Response

    Since it is allowed to assign this document with document type &V1& to
    the task list, the system assigns the document at operation level. As
    long as you do not release the task list, this message is issued as an
    information or warning message. However, you cannot release the task
    list with this document assignment or include it in a maintenance order
    because due to the missing Customizing settings, you would not be able
    to open the assigned document in the maintenance order.

    How to fix this error?

    Check your settings for this document type in Customizing for <ZK>
    Cross-Application Components</> under <ZK>Document Management</> -> <ZK>
    Visual Enterprise Generator</> -> <DS:SIMG.DMS_VEG_SRCH_SEQ>Define
    Search Sequence for Viewable File</>.
    If you want to allow documents with document type &V1& to be assigned to
    the maintenance order at operation level, assign this document type to
    the SAP object <LB>PMAFVC</> (<ZK>Maintenance Operat.</>), to the
    viewing application <LB>Spare Parts</> (for document type <LB>SP</>) or
    <LB>Visual Instructions</> (for document type <LB>VI</>), and to the
    workstation application <LB>RH</> for the usage <LB>PM</>.
