IV92470: BMXAA2634E - MISMATCHES BETWEEN LABOR, CRAFT, SKILL LEVEL, VENDOR AND CONTRACT ARE NOT ALLOWED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When you set Maximo escalation to run as an user that does not
  have a default insert site agains the LABTRANS table, you will
  get the error message :
  
  BMXAA2634E - Mismatches between labor, craft, skill level,
  vendor and
  contract are not allowed. Use the Select Value lookup to see a
  list of
  valid choices.
  
  Steps to replicate :
  
  1- Open Maximo as maxadmin
  2- Go to Organizations app and make sure that in Labor Options
  for EAGLENA, the following options are NOT checked.
  
  Automatically Approve Inside Labor Transactions?
  Automatically Approve Outside Labor Transactions?
  Allow Mismatched Craft and Labor When Reporting Actual Labor
  
  3- Save and ensure that in Profile link, there is not a default
  insert site for that user.
  4- After that, create a workorder in Work Order Tracking app,
  and on Plans tab, add some labor line.  (you can use BALL)
  5- Create an action in Actions app like this :
  Action=  1029   (you can use any ID)
  Object = LABTRANS
  Type = Set Value
  Value = 1
  Parameter/Attribute = genapprservreceipt
  Accessible from = ALL
  
  6- Save action and go to Escalations app
  7- Create an escalation with the following Condition :
  LABORCODE = 'BALL' AND REFWO = '3150'      (change your REFWO
  by the WONUM you used)
  
  8- Make sure there is an escalation point, it only needs to
  exist.
  9- Associate the action you created above with the Actions tab
  of this escalation.
  10- Ensure the escalation is active and that it is scheduled to
  run in a few moments from now.
  11- After some time, after the escalation has run, go to your
  SQL tool and run this query :
  
  SELECT * FROM ESCSTATUS;
  
  ...and then you will see your escalation with the error
  information of this :
  
  BMXAA2634E - Mismatches between labor, craft, skill level,
  vendor and
  contract are not allowed. Use the Select Value lookup to see a
  list of
  valid choices.
  
  Important : Customer has a business requirement about having
  MAXADMIN
  user with no Default Insert Site in the environment. So,
  MAXADMIN user does NOT have any
  default insert site associated.
  
  Error seems to be happening because MAXADMIN is the Run as User
  for the
  escalation and it was configured not to have default insert
  site.
  For user with default insert site, the escalation runs fine.
  
  If the crontask Run as User has a default insert site, this
  works fine.
  
  But the customer has a business requirement about having
  MAXADMIN user
  with no Default Insert Site in the environment. So, MAXADMIN
  user does NOT have any
  default insert site associated.
  
  When escalations mapped to WORKORDER, PO, PURCHIVEW can work
  with run as
  user as MAXADMIN then why not LABTRANS?
  

Local fix

• Use a default site for users running escalations.
