IZ74630: WPMATERIAL REQUESTNUM IS CHANGING DURING STATUS CHANGE OF WORK ORDER FROM APPR TO INPRG.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The following issue was tested against Maximo 7.1.1.5 with IBM
  Maximo for Utilities 7.1.0.0 Build 20081212-0732 DB Build
  V7110-172 and Transportation 7.1.0.0-20091118-0739 Build
  20081211-1448 DB Build V7110-504.
  
  With Utilities 7.1.0.0 and hot fix build 003 installed the
  Requestnum is being updated when the Work Order Status is
  changed from APPR to INPRG. This issue happens from both the
  core Work Order tracking application and the Utilities Work
  Order tracking appliction.
  
  Here are steps to reproduce the issue from either one of the two
  applications, The core
  
  1. Go to the work order tracking application and create a new
  work order, add an asset and save the work order.
  
  2. Now on the plans tab add a stocked item and approve the work
  order. Run this query
  
  Select REQUESTNUM from WPMATERIAL where WONUM = 'ENTER WORK
  ORDER NUMBER'
  
  Note what the request number is.
  
  3. Now changed the status of the Work Order to INPRG from APPR,
  now run the above query again. You now see that the REQUESTNUM
  has updated when it should not have.
  
  Tested this on an out of the box install of 7.1.1.5 with just
  core applications and this worked as needed. Seems to be only
  broken with T&D (Utilities) installed on it.

  ORDER FROM APPR TO INPRG.
  

Problem conclusion

• When changing the status to INPRG, ActStart is modified and
  it's action method is called. This method resets all the
  warranty situations. The warranty process is always called in
  the save method of the app bean and before the change of the
  status. The old piece of code was intended to call again the
  warranty validation after the change of status but it caused an
  extra call of setValue in WPMATERIAL. Because of that, a new
  generation of REQUESTNUM field was done - the reason of the
  APAR.
