2433206 - Service Technician is Defaulted For Every Item Added to The Ticket after assigning a demand to Technician

  16. Return to ticket XYZ.

Service technician DEF is defaulted for this Item.

Cause

Once an Item in a Tickets gets assigned to a service technician, the technician is automatically taken over to the ticket on header level. This is visible in the Service Technician field in the section Additional Information in the facet Service and Repair.

The same system behaviour is shown, when maintaining a service technician on header level in the section Additional Information. For every newly added item, the service technician will be defaulted.

The service technician is not defaulted for new items, when the service technician gets assigned manually on item level, because it won't be taken over on header level automatically.

Resolution

This is the expected behavior. If you need any changes in this functionality, you may contact your implementation manager to help with such request or post your requirement in SAP Customer Influencer Site  https://influence.sap.com/SAPCloudforCustomer.
