IJ00209: TPAE 7608-BMXAA4195E- IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO ASSIGN LABOR IN A WORK ORDER WITH A DURATION OTHER THAN 0 OR 1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PROBLEM:
  Seeing a weird bug in the 7.6.0.8 environments where assignment
  manager errors out if the work order you are assigning doesn't
  have a duration of 1 or 0 and there's not a planned
  assignment/labor.  If it has a duration of 0 or 1, you can
  assign any number of labor hours you want.
  If it it has a duration of 2, however, even if you tried to
  change the labor hours to 1 it errors out with the error: A
  value is required for the Assignment Status field on the
  WMASSIGNMENT object.
  
  PERFORMANCE ISSUE: NO
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  1) Go to Assignment Manager Application
  
  2) In the Labor List, click the Modify Availability (far right
  icon) for Labor ADAM (craft ELECT).
  
  3) Add an entry to the Modify Work dates for some date in the
  future with 9 hours and a reason code of WORK (I used 9/29/17
  at 8 AM but time doesn't matter as long as the date is in the
  future)
  
  4) Filter the Work List for WO 1218. Click the checkbox next to
  the 1218 WO with the craft of ELECT in the Work List table and
  the checkbox next to the ADAMS labor (craft ELECT) in the Labor
  List.
  
  5) Click Assign Labor in the Common Actions.
  
  This works correctly, even though the WO 1218 has a duration of
  2.
  
  1) Go to Work Order Tracking
  
  2) Find WO 1013. Change estimated duration from a 0 to a 2.
  
  3) Go to Assignment Manager and filter for WO 1013.
  
  4) Click the checkbox next to 1013 and next to our ADAMS labor
  record (craft ELECT) and click Assign Labor.
  
  Expected: The labor (ADAMS) be assigned to the work order
  
  Actual: A dialog will pop up, click OK.
  You'll receive the BMXAA4195E - A value is required for the
  Assignment Status field on the WMASSIGNMENT object. error,
  which is the issue.
  
  To make it work, you have to modify the Work Order in Work Order
  tracking to have a duration of 1 or 0. If you do that, it'll
  work, but then the work order is incorrect.
