Capacity Leveling vs. Plant Maintenance

What is the difference between Capacity Leveling Planning Tables (CM21, 22, 27,28,31,23) and Plant Maintenance Planning Tables (CM33, 34, 30, 24)?
In what type of scenario would I want to use either one? What would the end result of utilizing these tables be?

Hi
Mark the control key for generating capacity requirement.
Give the formula SAP008 in Work Center Capacity Tab.
Use CM01 to check Capacity Planning
Use CM22 for Capcity Levelling.
Explore these options

Reg. Capacity levelling for the maintenance order

Hi all,
I am using SAP R3 ECC6.0.
I have created a maintenance order with order type PM01(Internal).In this order i have assigned Work Center 1 with the Work center category as Labour.And i have assigned 2 operations for this Work center in the maintenance order with the total hours of 60 HRS. and i saved this order & made the status to release.
Then i went to Tcode CM33 and there i inputed the Work center name and executed it.It opens a Graphical View.But in that view my order no is not displayed .Previous order no. which is there already for that Work center is shown there.
What could be the Reason.
As an alternate checking i went to T code CM31 order view.There i Inputed my order no. and executed it but it throws a message
"No Capacity requirements were found in the evaluation period"
"No work centers or orders were found"
What could be the reason.
Tell me how to overcome this issue.
More over i want to make dispatch in the capacity levelling.
Thanks in advance,
M.Badrinarain.

hi badri,
are you checking in the same period ? and next check ur overall profile and time profile assigned to ur overall profile .... u will find order no , operation no .... and once u dispatch operation status gets DSPT .

Doubts in plant maintenance

what are the business process in plant maintenance.
what are oraganisational level inside sap-pm.

From a broad stroke, the business processes in plant maintenance are as follows:
Maintenance Processing - This includes corrective and breakdown maintenance
Preventive Maintenance - This is where you set up the system to generate a maintenance order, notification or service entry sheet at a set schedule so that regular routine maintenance may be performed.
The organizations levels in plant maintenance are as follows:
Maintenance Planning Plants: This is where the maintenance work is planned my the maintenance planners for the work centers in the maintenance plants.
Maintenance Plants: Where maintenance work is performed in/out of... These are tied in IMG Configuration to the Maintenance Plants. A maintenance plant can have only one planning plant assigned to it but a planning plant can be assigned to more than one Maintenance Plant.
Maintenance Planner group: Also assigned to the planning plants in configuration. These are the people who plan the work... also called maintenance managers, supervisors, foremen, etc. in the various industries.
Maintenance Work Center: These are the people that actually perform the maintenance work. This is master data and they are created in relationship to a maintenance plant.
I hope this helps clarify some doubt.

Automatic release of plant maintenance order at Plant level

Dear All
I would like to release plant maintenance order automatically and would like to enable only for a specific plant.
Could you please suggest different options for this
Thanks in advance
Regards
Yogesh +48 500287949

Hi ,
There is no tcode for automatic release of Maintenance order . You have the below options :
1. Activate the user exit IWO10009 PM Order: Customer Check for 'Save' Event which checks for specific plant and status of order is not released then it would release automatically ..
2. Create a programme which runs as a batch job and this programme checks for PM Order and filters specific to plant and then filters the orders which are not released and then auto releases....The proramme should be set up as a batch job which runs at every 30min or etc..
this would give you some idea ..

Work schedule display in capacity leveling cm25

Hello,
In our company we have created a work schedule (tcode OP4A) and have associated to a work center (tcode IR02).
However, capacity leveling (tcode CM25) doesn't display the work schedule associated to our workers in the graphical planning table.
Do you have any idea how to solve this problem?
Thank you very much,
Óscar

It could be issue with your over all profile..
Use - Over all profile SAPPM_G001
Overall prof: SAPPM_G001           PM: Ind.cap/tab/day/avail.lab./norm.schd
       Select.profile:                     SAPPM_S001      PM: Tab/work center/lab/

Plant Maintenance Rollout

Dear PM Gurus,
for one my client going to rollout, how we have to do the plant maintenance module and what parameters have to be consider, how to assign the different number ranges? for example he using 1000 plant its already implemented and now he going to do the rollout of plant 2000,3000,4000,5000. how i have to define equipment categories and number ranges, measuring point categories and number ranges, measurement documents number ranges, notification number ranges, notification types, order types, order number ranges, maintenance plans, maintenance plan category, task list number ranges is it any plant level customization or client level customization? please help me i am in critical situation.
i am requesting you all of the Plant maintenance experts. please give the reply as soon as possible.
regards
jalu

Hi,
This is not PM (Plant Maintenance) Platform.
Actually I also got confused and doubly checked whether I had clicked on wrong link or not. No I had not. Please please create your threads on PM specific link.
Just it looks like that for your requirement - Plant specific customization and other data are required. You can take reference from Plant 1000 while copying to other Plants.
Hope this will make sense.

'Log Book' in plant maintenance (SAP PM module)

Dear Experts
I want to know about 'Log Book' in plant maintenance (SAP PM module). How to work on LOG BOOK & what are the configuration settings available in SAP PM for Log Book?
Basically, the concept of logbook is to update shift activities & measures during Plant Maintenance without SAP. but in SAP, What i know about the Log book in SAP PM is : It is an industry specific feature, before it was only used in (IS- Aeronautical). but now it is available in ECC 6.0 also. To activate this node, we need to update the patch 2.0 in ECC 6.0
Thanx,
PMGURU

Dear,
The Logbook is an easy-to-use tool that supports the controlling and execution of daily maintenance tasks for assets in operation. This tool provides personnel, who are operating the assets, with the functions to log defects and operational data. It provides maintenance personnel, such as maintenance engineers and technicians, with functions that ensure the timely and reliable execution of their maintenance tasks.
Logbook is easy to use and provides functionality that is seamlessly integrated with follow-on processes of the mySAP for Aerospace & Defense solution for Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO). For example, operational data captured in the Logbook updates measurement points that, in turn, trigger preventive maintenance events. Maintenance work steps created in the Logbook generate material and resource requirements in materials and capacity planning. Material exchanges update the asset structure and automatically generate the required goods movements.
An important business example for using the Logbook is to control the daily line maintenance tasks for aircrafts.
The logbook helps you record defects encountered during aircraft flights and the actions taken to correct them. The log may also include the space to record additional flight data, such as the names of the crew members, flight parameters, payload data, fueling data, flight hours, and cycles operated.

Rakesh

WORK FLOW & PROCEDURE FOR FOR SNP CAPACITY LEVELLING HEURISTICS RUN

Dear Sir / Madam,
Currently, we are taking only SNP Heuristics Run and the output viz. planned stock transfer requisitions are being passed to PPDS as such. But now we feel, SNP capacity leveling can play a vital role in getting more fine tuned results from PPDS. So, We wants to start using the SNP Capacity leveling run. We shall like to know the work flow / procedure for taking the SNP capacity level run i.e. what inputs should be properly reviewed before taking the SNP capacity level run and what shall be its output..? Kindly let us know the procedure / work flow for taking the SNP Capacity Levelling Run.
Your early reply in this regard shall be really appreciable.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Sanjeev Chugh

Hi Sanjeev,
as in any other module, correct master will play a key role in getting effective results in capacity levelling. you will need to check the following master data while setting the system for capacity levelling :
Consistency in BOM in R/3 and PPM/PDS
Consistency in Routing in R/3 and PPM/PDS - the actual through put on the shop floor should be the same as that in the routing and in the PPM/PDS. unless this is in sync, no amount of levelling can return good results.
Maintenance of shift - again as present in the shop floor.
you can provide the dump of the above master data and ask the shop floor engineers to validate the data as it exists in the ssytem. you can do the consistency check between R/3 and APO yourself using queries. Once they have validated this master data and the the actual master data reflects in your system, i think, the job is more than 50 % complete.
also you need to check the lot sizes, rounding profiles, and period factor, becasue all three combined play a major role in giving good or better results after levelling.
you may also check at what level you want to run the levelling. whther the bottleneck is at the finished component level, or 2nd level, etc. you may check whther you have discrete manufacuring or REM and if you really want to levelling on REM order.
then you need to analyse, what is the lengh of horizon you want to run the capacity leveling on. sometimes it makes no sense to run on the entire horizon because if capcities are already overlaoded, you will not achieve the desired results.
hence depending upon the level of your understanding and comfort of the planner (who will be using this result), the horizon can be increased grdually.
if you are starting to implemement capcity levelling, you can sumulate runs and show the results to the planner and check if the standard capacity heursitics satisfies their requirement. else you can go for custom requirement.
you will also have to decide on the stratagies, priorities,etc based on the business requirement.
i think the above should give some starting direction to implement capcaity levelling in your system.
award points if you find this useful.
Rgds, Sandeep

Capacity Leveling of Work Center

Hi all,
I have a problem with Capacity of Work center (WC).
I have a Internal Activity, and i assigned a WC for this Internal Activity. WC's capacity is 100H/day for 1 number of element.
Work of this WC is 250H, duration 5 days, number of element 1. Default capacity of this WC is distributed by Distribution Key define in Activity. . And they are divided equally between factory days in 5 day. That is capacity requirement is 50H/Day
So, i want to edit this WC's capacity following value:
Day 1: 100H/day
Day 2: 50H/day
day 3: 0H/day
day 4: 0H/day
day 5: 100H/day
How can i do it?? I try to use Dispatch Manually but i cant solve this problem.
Please help me for this case.
Thank all.

Dear
Capacity leveling depends on some of the basic set up of Capacity Requirement Planning .You need to have proper CRP set up frist .
Couple of check points : -
Did you work centre is relevent for finitie scheduling in CR02-Capacity Header and wht is the over laod percentage for work centre ?
Did you have Capacity Requirement Related Set up like Over all profile , time profile , Startegy Profile -OPD0?
Did your Capacity Check -OPJK -Order Control at order level are active for availibilty Check 1 and 2 and assinged Over all Profile ?
Set up :
1.Please assing a operation control key like PP01 where Details Capacity Check and scheduling is active .
2.In CR02-Work centre -Capacity Header -You should have Follow check box marked
1.Releven for Finitie Scheduleing
2.Can be used for multiple Operation
3.
3.OPU3/OPU5 -Define Scheduling paramter -Mark Scheduling and Capcity Check for planned order or production Order
4.In SPRO -Shop Floor Control-Define Production Scheduling Profile -You need to matian the relevent Parameters like
1.Schedueling Automatically 2.Scheduling Log 3.Adjust Scheduling -Basic date , Depedent Requirement date 4.Scheduling Type -Backward etc .
These are all basic level set up beside CRP overall profile and other profile like strategy /time etc which may in place as you are analysing in CM01.
Please find below some of the useful CRP details : Refer this threads which are self explaintory :

How to dispatch operation to do Capacity Leveling at Work Centre Level :
1.Frist Check the over load at work centre . Goto -CM07/CM05-give plant only -then hit the Stnadard view -You will find weekly or daily baiss load ( Requirement , Avaliable Capcity , Overlaod etc )
2.Check the week in which days you are tring to dipatch -if you selet the week check box and double clik it will show u all the dataiul load .Basde on the available capacity in other week-days u need to dipatch in CM22/CM31 or CM25/CM21
While dipatching in CM22/CM31-Select the Stragegy button on the top header -Mark Date entry when dispatching so that when you select the operation of any production order or planned order for certain work centre , it will pop with window having information of Date , Work Centre , Time .Onec you did this you will receive Scheduling log with certain information .
Hope this helps

Help in Plant Maintenance

Hi all,
I am trying to load data into 0PM_OM_OPA_1(Maintanence Orders and Costs Allocations) Business Content Cube without any enhancements.The Datasource corresponding to this cube is 0PM_OM_OPA_1 and 0PM_OM_OPA_2 for which i couldnt find any extract structure in LBWE transaction.
so far,
1)I have activated 0PM_OM_OPA_1 and 0PM_OM_OPA_2 datasources in RSA5.
2)Deleted the set up tables corresponding to PM.
3)Reconstructed the BW structures in OLIIBW.
4)But LIS set up log says that 0 documents are posted.
5)RSA3 extractor checked gives me 240 records.
When i try to execute the infopackage in the BW system, it says Error in Source System..at extractor level.
Are there any Best Practices document for Plant Maintenance cubes in marketplace?
Please help me out...

Concept of capacity levelling

dear gurus,
can any body explains the concept of capacity levelling with t-codes.i already posted the same thread.but i require some more light.if any body explains it will be better for begginers.if anybody is having any doccuments regarding please send to [email protected]
-guna

Hi,
The following points will be useful to understand the concept of Capacity Levelling.
Capacity levelling is only relevant for inhouse manufactured products and the existing capacity over load in work center with in a plant can be overcome by shifting the operation performed on the overloaded work center to a future period where capacity is avialable by using CM22
Example :
1) An order consist of 4 opns let us suppose ( opn 10,20, 30 & 40)
2) Opn 30 is being performed on a work center " WC1"
3) Assume Capcity load on this work center WC1 is 150% (TCode : CM05)
4) Shift some of the orders in the over loaded work center to a future period where capacity is available . When we are shifting Opn30 to a future period say 15th october , this opn date will be taken as reference & for all the preceeding operations backward scheduling carried out (ie for opn 10, 20). For all the succeeding operations (opn 40) Forward scheduling will be carried out.
5) Capacity levelling by shifting the operation can be used for MTS items with out any problem. In the case of MTO we should take in to account the customer requirement date while shifting the opn/orders to a future period.

Ramasamy

Restrict IQ02 to level of Plant

HI, I need restrict teh access to transaction IQ02 (with role) to level of "Plant" (SerData), but this transaction only restrict maintenance plant and planning plant.
1) A new authorization object has been created, for this field name (B_WERK)
2) The IQ02 transaction has been changed for check this new object
3) The rol has been changed and contains this authorization object.
but the transaction doesn't consider this check...I can change the serial number of all plants.
Somebody know how restrict this?
Regards
ClaDiCa

Hi,
when you have created custom auth object,did you link the custom object to transaction
and in transaction did you change the custom auth object to "check maintain" i.e in Su24.
And in the program, ask developer to maintain authority check statement for this custom auth object
And in the role did you add the tcode in menu tab then click on auth tab ->export mode->read old status & merge with new data.
custome object gets pulled into the role.
generate the role do the user comparsion.
Thanks,
Sri
