APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
In the current architecture you need rights to create a new work order to create task. Client believes that you should be able to create task without this option. I escalated the PMR for review and L3 suggested a new APAR. Steps - Remove user rights to create a new work order (from the security group application). Go to a existing WO and try to create a task. You will get an error - BMXAA0024E - The action ADD is not allowed on object WOACTIVITY. If you give the user rights to create a new work order the error does not display.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * Maximo users who use the work order tracking application. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * User could not add new tasks when they do not have the New * * Work Orders security authorization. Per the development * * manager and the product designer, tasks are components of a * * work order. User should be able to add tasks. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * None * **************************************************************** We found a previous apar IV30384 which restricted the Add of new work orders if user does not have the New Work Orders right. This fix also restricted the add of tasks because the task work orders are stored in the WORKORDER table.The designer said: The fact that they are all stored in the workorder table is more the technical solution, not the business process. Therefore, this new apar is to allow the tasks to be created when the user does not have the New Work Order right.
