Hi Kapil,
Thanks for the reply,,
Its external customer so do we have to create everytime new customer whenver we get the repair request.Actually the equipment is not belong to the client and an external customer comes for repair of his equipment.so ther is no master data maintained for external customer and equipment. can i create dummy equipment and dummy customer.

Material componenet assignment for external repairing

hi experts,
i've problem for material component assignment in external order,
i've created order (PM02) for external repairing,with external workcenter & control key PM03,
in which manual service is assigned with cost element,
sometimes component is given to vendor from plant,for repairing
i am assigning material component in this order,and when i save this order, system gives ABAP Runtime Errors
Runtime Errors RAISE_EXCEPTION

order can't be saved and session is terminated,
if i save order without assigning material components
orders are saved,
please guide me to trace the root of problem,
thanks in advance

hi pravin,
1. Create all your materials being used for [Vendor in external services ]as non-valuated stock in MM and use them in MO .... for external services with PM03 cntrlkey .... you can run the MO external service cycle .... but component cost does not get involved in MO ... but issue is to remove material cost from services .... ? .... you can plan all such createria while creating services and cost in MM ...

External repair of customer equipments

Hello Folks,
Need help on following scenario:
Customer returns equipment for repair. Repair has to be done by external vendor.
We create a CS-order. Equipment get posted on sales-order-stock.
How does the process work to create a purchase order for repair at the external vendor out of CS-order.
There is no movement type to bring equipments from sales-order-stock to subcontracting stock. Any ideas for a simple workaround?
At the moment we have to post customer equipment first from sales-order-stock to unrestricted stock, create a PO for repair, post 541(unrest.--> subcontr. stock). After repair we do MIGO for PO and post 542(subcontr. stock --> unrest.) and unrestr. back to sales-order-stock.This is bloody annoying.
Is there not a simple way to bring the equipment from the CS-order directly to a vendor for repair and back to CS-order?
Many thanks for any ideas.
Sincerely
Mario

The customer sends the goods directly to Sales Org B, in another country.
Thanks

I have a question recently that sounds something like yours. Did some research and here is what i gathers.
You have to look at what is need. Do you want to monitor the status and location of the faulty equipment out of your company? If all you need is to track the repair cost, you can do it directly from the original maintenance order. just create a PR, convert to PO. Receive the service and its done. This is pretty simple process to begin with.
If you want to monitor the equipment out of your company then you can do it the refurbishment (subcontracting) way. In this method, you treat the refurbishment work like a subcontracting job where you buy the repair service while providing the faulty equipment as material. If you are doing this, there are some pre-req:
1. ideally your material should have split valuation to reflect the different valuation at different condition.
2. Your material is serialized.
3. i am no MM expert but if your material need to be marked as sub-con material (if there is any MM expert here, pls help to explain this).
4. you use a normal work order and not a refurbishment order.
The process would be:
1. Create a normal work order with external activity (of type PM02). PR will be created.
2. Create PO from the PR.
3. GI the faulty part to the vendor against the PO.
4. GR the refurbished part.
5. Close the order (the usual TECO, settlement + Biz close).
With this subcontracting method, you can monitor the faulty eq. status via the subcon monitor (Tcode ADSUBCON).
The reason why you don't use a refurbishment order is with a refurbishment order, you GI the faulty parts to the refurbishment order. You can't monitor the status via ADSUBCON.
There are also a simpler way to go around this. You can use a refurbishment order. Fellow forumer Pete suggest that we can update user status of the equipment master. Pick up an un-use field to enter the vendor who is repairing.
Hope this helps.

Gate pass for External repairing

Hi,
please guide me for this ,
damaged equipments are sent out side the company for a repairing ,and store people issue gate pass for the same while handing over to vendor,
i understand that this processing can be done using control key,
but how the gate pass in the system will be created ,is ther any provision for that in PM area,
or it has to be develpoed?
Thanks in Advance

Hai Dear
There is no sap functionality about this. But in another hand we could generate the Custom T code. Like Dialogue just keep the material document in header (refer only 541 movmenet). Thro Internal table generate the fields like vechile, transporter, remarks..Once you entered the docuemnt the line items, Qty sud appeare in t code line items.
there you can put the RGP, NRGP also. While saving the no has to generate , i mean gate pass no. Reconsilaion , reporting custom code also possible
The entire thing is work in SAP. talk with your abaper

Best practise for external service when amount is not sure

Hi friends ,
What could be the best practise from the PM side when we want to send an equipment for external repair
and the service cost is not sure .
Also if we will create only service PR and not PO then there could be some legal problems while sending the equipment outside.
What I am thinking is to create a service PR -> PO and then setting the actual cost while invoicing .
Is it fine ?
We would prefer if we can take some print out of the external service mentioning following data through standard SAP :
1) Vendor Name
2) Our Co name .
3) Address from where the equipment is dispatched
4) Address where equipment is to be sent .
5) Contact No .
6) some Dates
Any suggestions.
Regards
AM
Edited by: Amehra on Jul 7, 2011 1:53 PM

Hi,
it is not necessary to enter the exact amount for external service in PM order ,
exact amount must be confirmed during service entry sheet ml81n
or it also be adjusted during miro ( invoicing )
and for prininting , most of the part as u said are covered in standard printing of Maintenance order, PR and PO
otherwise there must be customized PO printing in ur organisation that can be change if ur requirements does not meet

Aperture Library Repair fail

Hello,
I have Aperture 3, a 250GB Aperture Library and it faqiled to load this evening, just hung. I reapired permissions, tried to clean up the database and rebuild the database, none of which would run.I can find the library, look inside and see that the files are there in the folders. Aperture wont load it as the repair failed and was interrupted. Tried repair but the program bombs out.
Am scratching my head what to do?
Is there an external repair program that i can run over it? Aperture crashes out.
Bummed
martyn

I too am having difficulty with Aperture permissions. This permission problem has plagued me for the last year. Permissions will not verify using disk utility (Version 13) and disk utility fails to complete the repair after 7 minutes. Now my Aperture drive with all my libraries will not mount. The error message says to copy all files and reformat. How do you do this if disk utility will not mount the drive?
Here is the error log (or part of it).

Some data in ... could not be read or written. (Error code -36).

Hello.
I just got a Lacie 512mb disk, and thought it would be ideal for running my iTunes library off of. Got the disk, ran it through its paces, hooked it up to my Mac mini, and I can't seem to copy hardly any files over. Here's one error (but you can replace "iTunes Library" with any song and it's the same thing)...
'The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "iTunes Library" could not be read or written. (Error code -36).'
So, I think there's disk or file damage, etc. I boot off an external and run Disk Utility, DiskWarrior and TechToolPro against it - everything checks out fine.
But I can't copy files from the mini's internal to my external Repair Boot disk or the Lacie 512. Always that same -36.
So, at first I think it's the mini, then I think it's the Lacie, because it's new, so I reformat it: same issue. And that coupled with it won't copy to my Repair Boot, makes me think the mini again.
But, I've got a g1 iPod mini hooked up (formatted in hfsj+), and I can copy this file to the iPod mini, but no where else. I not sure what this makes me think.
And, I can duplicate the file on the Mac mini. In fact, if it's a song file that won't copy (none of them will), I can play it just fine.
Thanks.
Mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I experienced a problem in a familiar way.
After a recording session I tried to copy the complete folder with session and sound files to another disk (original and target disk both LaCie d2 250 FW800).
Somehow the proces stopped prompting an -36 error over some files.
When I look up these files in the Finder, it seems to have an iTunes audio-file icon instead of a ProTools audio-file icon (and so other standard app to open with). All the other files will copy fine. The files will play with quicktime in the preview window.
Any-one a solution?
Almost seems like some kind of copy protection, like implied earlier in this thread. I hope it's not. These are the originals...

Nokia 5610 with dead(?) screen

Hey guys I seem to have a problem!
I was uploading some mp3 to my newly bought Nokia 5610,
I got it 3 weeks ago. I installed the latest software etc etc. Now here we go: I was uploading the mp3's and at some point I had to go to college, and I thought it be alright if I just left my phone on the desk so it could upload the songs while I was gone, and it'd be done by the time I would get back.
Then I thought that maby the battery would be empty soon if it was uploading all the time, so I got my charger, and I plugged it in the mobile... and then suddenly the screen went black. I was like... euh? O.o what was that.
So I start looking at what could be wrong (no i didnt open the device exept of taking out the SIM card and battery and back in again so my warrenty is still intact) Its pretty weird, the screen is black, but when I put it 'on' it vibrates 1 time as normal, I see black letters "Nokia" apear on a dark grey screen. And then nothing happends. The only thing noticable is that the screen goes from total black to dark grey for 2 seconds, it does this 3 times and then it stays black. And then I can push 'on' again and the exact same happends again.
So I thought, maby the battery went dead? I put in the charger again, and this time it kept on going from black to grey untill I unplug the charger. Also when I connect the USB to my computer, the pc finds the 'new device' and then immediatly it disconnects again. This happends everytime the 'cycle' starts again (going black to grey 3 times and then black). So it seems like it is going On, and then after the screen goes black for the last time it is turned Off again.
Its the only thing I see, nothing apears on the screen exept "nokia' (in a weird place aswell, at the middle-bottom instead of the middle where it normally apears).
I'm bashed... I bought this mobile 3 weeks ago, never dropped it or anything. Nothing seems to be damaged either, from the outside at least.
It was all fine untill this morning. Now im not sure wether it was because of uploading the mp3's, or because I plugged in the charger, or combination of either.
Again its about the Nokia 5610 Xpress Music, Has anyone encountered this problem or has suggestions? Else I'm afraid I will just have to get it back to a repair center in Amsterdam (after I told al my friends my new number and said that they could delete my old 1 :/)
Any help is appreaciated!

Well mate, the only experience i have with this phone (I have the same as yours) is that you should bring it back to a nokia care centre (for locations see posts above) and tell them what the problem is, then they should update/flash the software. In the worst case they will send it to external repairs, which will cost a few weeks (2-4). That is what is happening to my mobile as I'm typing...
Just ask them if they cant do it right in the store, they should be able to. Try to avoid that it is send to external repair as that will cost alot of time. It will help you to understand if you read the a/discussions/board/message?board.id=phones&message.id=34235

Return from Vendor in Refurbishment Process

Hi
Need help in understanding the below Steps Refurbishment Scenario u2013
We want to send the defective Material to a external Vendor for Repair, we can Issue the Material under valuation class u201CDEFECTu201D Thro MB1B Mvt Type 541 . However while taking back thro Mvt type 542 it is not possible to take it in valuation class u201CREFURu201D .
Kindly guide how to map the process.

Sameer

Hi
Thanks for providing the links for subcontracting process .
I have two Queries pls guide -
1) Is standard SAP PM Refurbishment Process is not supporting the process of external repair of spares ( Which is a common industry practise ) . Due to this we need to have two processes for repair one for internal repair Refurbishment Process & another for external repair Subcontracting Process.
2) As this "Subcontracting indicator " in PM Order Process is available for ECC6 - EHP4 --- we are not in that so how we can map the process of external repair in SAP PM .

Refurbishment order _Planned and Actual Costs

Dear Experts,
What are the controlling relevant setting to be done for a refurbishment order . Can we do it without costing sheet ? We have 2 scenarios . 1.Refurbishment of spares in-house 2. Refurbishment of spares externally.
Please explain the costing relevant settings and also give a example how the cost is calculated and how to trace the cost incurred for repairing a spare part.
Regards,
Ram

Using both your scenarios you can create same refurbishment order, for reporting purpose you can use PM activity type within the maintenance order, that this order is for internal workshop and the other one is for external repair. now cost will be calculated as for the usual maintenance order means if you are taking external services just proceed with it, if you are issuing material from warehouse you can issue material and so on all the setting remain same for costing purpose.

AMC Mapping for Equipment

Hi,
I have 2 scenario for AMC:
1). Payment as per visit by service provider(Vendor):
      a. Create Service PR by Maintenance Order using control key PM03
      b. Create Service PO referring PR
      c. Create SES referring service PO
      d. MIRO for payment
I am ok with this process. My problem is 2nd scenario
2). Contract is created with vendor for lump sum amount e.g. 50,000 for DG AMC and client pay the amount in advance for 1 year. Now, client can call vendor for n no. of times for services without any payment because he was paid a lump sum amt in advance. Please suggest how to map this process in PM.
Rgds,
DS

Dear Dinesh
Both options you have mentioned is possible
1. We are already using the option 1- i.e. create PR-PO independently of maint order but with account assignment category F. Then when ever you create Service entry, you do it against PO & issue it to maint order(account assignment cat - F-order) & give the order no. In this way you can issue it to maint order for flowing of cost to order. In this case for keeping the job history you need to create a order just before service entry. (No external control key(PM03) is required to be used for triggering PR from it.
If you want to capture the plan cost of external repair in order then also you can assign control key PM03 but at the extreme right side of this line set the reservation/ purchase requision to never so that it wont trigger a PR. Select this operation to assign external services through external service tab given below & select services quantity based on your requirement from the PO you have already created for it. By this you will get the planned cost in order. This operation you need not confirm in Iw41 but only do the SE through ML81N.
2. Other option is to trigger PR from MO & do PO & follow the standard practice of service entry.
For both the cases advance can be given to vendor based on payment terms mentioned in the PO

Refurbishment order

Dear Experts,
Please suggest which route is better for capturing the repair cost of a material send outside for repair.
1. Through external services ( Control key PM03 )
2. Through sub-contracting ( Control key PM02 )
Kindly explain the pros and cons of using the above processes in a refurbishment order.
Regards,

hello,
you can use PM02 or PM03 for external repairs.
The main diffrence between PM02 and PM03 are...
if you use PM02:
Work order>PR>PO>GRN>Invoice
at the time of GRN it will be update the actual cost into the work order.through this way also you would able to capture maintenace expenditure per equipment.
PM03 :
Work order>PRPO>Serv entry sheet>Invoice.
the main diffrence is instead of GRN you r posting SES, you would able to maintain details of servces like....
    Repair deisel engine---
        Changing the injection nozles
        changing gaskets
here also at the time of SES system will update the actual cost to the order, you would able to track the actaul expenditure for equipment in PM.
you can track the details of servicces in PM and MM.
The usage is depends on the business needs.
