Plant Maintenance Reorganisation

Is it possible to reorganise a plant maintenance structure after it has been used in production? I would like to consolidate 5 maintenance plants into 1 maintenance plant. Or alternatively, assign the 5 maintenance plants to one planning plant (right now they are assigned 1 to 1 - we have 5 planning plants).
Thanks

Hi,
There are 2 broad aspects to carry out this change.
1. System configuration changes like assignment of plants to planning plant,order type related settings,tasl list and work centre relatedf etc
2. Master data changes like work centre,maintenance plans,task lists etc.
3.History of transactional data like standard reports.Inprocess or open transactions.

Intercompany Stock Transfer starting from Plant Maintenance

Dear SAP Experts,
We are planning to implement Intercompany Stock Transfer Process starting from Plant Maintenance side.
We would like to be able to order for maintenance work order material which belongs to different plant.
After adding such material to work order system should automatically create purchase requisition with Item Category U – Stock Transfer.
Such purchase requisition will be then converted to P.O. Then standard MM process will follow meaning on supplying plant side Delivery & Goods Issue will take place. And on receiving plant side Goods Receipt against P.O.
Can you please let me know whether there is standard process which covers what was described above especially part on Plant Maintenance side?
If there is no standard process can you please advise (propose some best practices) how we can realized such request?
Many thanks in advance.
Grzegorz

From memory, with intercompany trading you need to create a PO/PR on Company A and a corresponding Sales Order on Company B.
This can be automated via MM
I would suggest you ask the question in the MM Forum..

Pur Req via Plant maintenance order

Hi,
When Non stock item is assigned to a Plant Maintenance order, A purchase requisition is created automatically for that item.
During the creation of purchase requision it is required to enter goods recipient and unloading point( few fields are made mandatory)
Issue: At this stage we are giving planne delivery time and GR processing time.
But when we check the Purchase req for that item, Only GR processing time is considered not Planned delivery time.
Please provide your suggestion, why planned delivery time is not considered for scheduling of purchase req.
Thanks and regards,
Nataraj

Hi!,
I think you should check the operation control key you are using. Whether that key allows 1. Externally processed opearation 2. allows the scheduling of externally processed operation. If both are true then it will take the standard values defined for that opearation for scheduling. if 2nd is not true then it will schedule as per planned delivery time.
I think this will solve your problem.

Settings for costing data in order types for plant maintenance

i want to know the purpose of settings for costing data in order types for plant maintenance. do we need to do it for sure i mean are those settings mandatory to analyze the costs on work order

Yes you need to maintain those settings, as the plant maintenance orders are also considered as cost objects and in order for you to post any cost, you need to have a cost object. Unless you maintain these settings, the cost you posted cannot be settled to a cost center.
Assign points as a way to say thanks.

Urgent Issue in Plant Maintenance Module

Dear Experts,
We have requirement as described below, please give us your solutions / comments on this.
We have GTC company which is having around 800 trucks for transporting the products. I n this company we have implemented SAP Plant Maintenance Module, as we have the maintenance activities done for vehicles.
Under the same group of companies, we have PM1,PM2,PM3 companies which provide maintenance to GTC. These companies are not external to the group.
When I raise a maintenance order for a vehicle then I will mention hours of work and material that need to be used in the activity. This maintenance work / labour is provided by PM1/PM2/PM3 company.
In plant maintenance we have external service management, but that is for external vendors who provide service to GTC.
But how to handle the same with internal vendors like PM1/PM2/PM3.
Please tell me how to handle this kind of scenario.
Thanks in advance.
Nagesh

Hi,
this is a major topic and cannot be covered in a blog. Even if it can it will take a lot of time to clarify. So, first do your checks within your module. Check if u really need to treat the services from the other company as external services. You might as well create workcenters in the plants of the other companies. And make a single maintenance planning plant for all the plants in these companies. This will make a better solution technically. But think also from the perspective of the cost of this solution. Meaning, is it worth doing all the jobs such as maintaining activity prices, work centers in the other plants etc..
In general, my suggestion is include the FI and CO consultants at least in the discussion. It will b good if u can have the MM consultant also during the discussion.

Origin Object Type for Plant Maintenance Orders in Profit Center Accounting

Hi,
I want to make a selection for plant maintenance orders in transaction KE5Z, report for line items in Profit Center Accounting. When checking possible input options for the selection field <b></b>Origing Object Type<b></b> the system shows value 15 for Maintenance Orders. However I discovered in our system the maintenance orders are reported as Origing Object Type 03, which is Overhead Orders according to the selection list. So I cannot distinguish between overhead orders and maintenance orders in this report.
What is the cause our maintenance orders are assigned to Origin Object Type 03 in stead of 15 and what is the customizing transaction to correct this ?

Looks like, this is no longer supported. Refer to note 168004 and 102434.
Cause and prerequisites
These functions were not programmed to meet the above requirements.
As of Release 4.0, the object type is transferred directly.
Solution
Once you have implemented the advance correction. the origin object type 'Overhead cost order' (03) is assigned irrespective of what is the SCOPE for orders.
As a result of implementing this note or as of Release 4.6B, the order category distinguishes between overhead cost orders and production orders in the origin object type. In this case, the following origin object types result (as described above in 1.):
Order category 04 to 10, 40 => 04 (production order)
All other order categories => 03 (overhead cost order)
The logic that the origin object type was set depending on the object class (as described above in 2.) is no longer supported. The object class can be evaluated separately in Reporting. -
The corrections of this note refer in Release 4.0B to the corrections from Note 102434.

This is an interesting requirement - I've never seen a process to cover insurance using the PM module.
You could follow the warranty process to claim insurance.
Alternatively, talk to you Finance team to see what they recommend.

Warranty for materials in Plant Maintenance

Hi Experts
I am trying to explore how warranty could be used for spare parts in PM. I did following and seems that it works the same way as it works for equipment . meaning that it shows a dialog box when creating Notif and order.
Step1: Create Material Master
Step 2: Create Material Serial Number (Equipment master is created in background)
Step 3: Add warranty information in equipment
Step 4: Create Notification or work order, the warranty information is displayed
My Questions is on Goods movement and benefit by using serial number. I have created 03 serial numbers (1,2 and 3) by using TX IQ01. I have two cases:
Case1: what are the benefits of serial numbers created above without activating serial numbers in Inventory management. How it helps in Plant maintenance
Case2; Assming we activate serial number mgmt in IM ( by assigning serial no profile in material master). How does the serial numbers created above (1,2 and 3 by using IQ01) tie to Inventory management serial numbers. When I receive material for a purchase order how the serial numbers are assigned and tie to serial numbers created by IQ01.
Appreciate your help. Let me know if I am not clear.
Thanks
Gaurav
