Capitalization of spare parts

Hi,
Spare parts are acquired via logistic workflow. At reception, they are entered in inventory. Accounting department verifies on monthly basis the list of spare parts but has to identify which one has to be capitalized.
How could you send spare parts sitting in inventory to asset register? If the spare part is capitalized but need to be replaced/ repaired, how could we change the value of the asset? How could we track the spare part if they are capitalized? How could we follow the spare part as soon as it is capitalized?
Any recommendation on the capitalization of spare parts?
Thanks
Sabine

Hi Anna,
Thanks for your answer. In fact, we try to see if we need to capitalize or not spare parts. I know that you suggested to keep them in inventory .
Here, they try to decide at the beginning of the process if they need to capitalize or not the spare part. There are 2 cases:
case 1: spare part bought at the same time as main asset to which there are related to (= critical spare part) and brought into use at the same time as main asset.
case 2: spare part bought for repair or replacement
I guess that we should capitalize the spare part in the first case. But if we capitalize the spare part, we could not do anymore an inventory management and follow the spare part. This is not very convenient.
In the second case, we need to decide if we are dealing with major spare parts and define some criteria to identify what "major" means (e.g. useful life higher than 1 year)... but this is very difficult to identify.
In the last case, it is more complicate because we probably go through the maintenance order but how do we capitalize then? If the costs are in stock then they can't be also in asset. Does this mean that we need to do some financial adjustments?
Any idea?
Thanks
Sabine

Spare part -- Fixed asset ???

Experts
We have spare parts as inventory in our plant. If we want to capitalize the spare part,
1. Can SAP handle this process?
2. If so, what is the steps need to be taken?
Thanks

Use Asset Accounting Module

Need field and table for spare part material and price for a given material

Hi,
      In need to create a report with following fields:-
       Customer           Material          spare part material            spare part description             price                   currency.
From which table and field I can get all this information.Please guide me.
Hint. cl30n transaction for material managemant.
         vk13 transaction for price maintenace.
Regards.

CL30N is a general transaction that can be used for any classification, but material master maintenance is usually MM01/MM02 or MM41/MM42
Material description can be taken from table MAKT
customer from table KNA1
The question is what you are going to analyse? where do material and customer tie together? do you do the analysis on sales orders VBAK and VBAP ? or invoices VBRK and VBRP? or customer material info record KNMT?
or do you capture this info in classification? then you get the values from AUSP

Decimal conversion of Sales Tax in 'SPARE PARTS SALE INVOICE' ( smart form)

Hello,
I am displaying a the value of the Sales Taxc in 'SPARE PARTS SALE INVOICE'. (in Smart Form)
The field(which holds the Sales Tax value is 'KWERT' -LBBIL_INVOICE-IT_KOND ), with datatype 'CURR', reference table 'KOMK' and reference field 'WAERK'.
In my smart form,i have declared a variable 'SALES_VALUE' of datatype 'KWERT' and reference field 'IT_PRICE-WAERK' (LBBIL_INVOICE-IT_PRICE), where 'WAERK' is the SD document currency.
Now when i display the field 'SALES_VALUE' i get 735.00 , whereas the original value in the field is 73.5
how to correct this and where am i wrong ?
Thankyou for yur time and really appreciate the help.
Shehryar

You are using currency fields that reference a currency code. Most currencies in SAP have two decimal places. Dividing by 100 will work in most cases. Ideally you should get the CURRDEC value in table TCURX for the currency you are working with... then divide by 10 that number of times.
example-
USD, 2 decimals, divide by 10 twice.
There is a function module that will do this for you. Can't think of the name...???

What is best practice for dealing with Engineering Spare Parts?

Hello All,
I am after some advice regarding the process for handling engineering spare parts in PM. (We run ECC 5)
Our current process is as follows:
All materials are set up as HIBE's
Each material is batch managed
The Batch field is used for the Bin location
We are now looking to role out PM to a site that has in excess of 50,000 spare parts and want to make sure we use best practice for handling the spare parts. We are now considering using a basic WM setup to handle the movement of parts.
Please can you provide me with some feedback on what you feel the best practice is for dealing with these parts?
We are looking to set up a solution that will us to generate pick lists etc and implment a scanning solution to move parts in and out of stores.
Regards
Chris

Hi,
I hope all the 50000 spare parts are maintained as stock items.
1. Based on the usage of those spare parts, try to define safety stock & define MRP as "Reorder Point Planning". By this, you can avoid petty cash purchase.
2. By keeping the spare parts (atleast critical components) in stock, Planned Maintenance as well as unplanned maintenance will not get delayed.
3. By doing GI based on reservation, qty can be tracked against the order & equipment.
As this question is MM & WM related, they can give better clarity on this.

Maheswaran.

I lost the grey, round shaped rubber placed under the magic trackpad to support clicking. the rubber detached from the trackpad and lost. Where can i find the thing as i am not sure whether apple sell small spare part like this?

i had lost the grey, round shaped rubber placed under my magic trackpad. i think it detached from the trackpad body and lost. where can i get this small spare part as i couldn't find this small spare part in apple store?

Wish I could be more positive but as far as I can see, the solution is to make something for yourself and tape it on. It appears they do not supply a proper replacement and Ifixit, the usual people say they don't have them.
Here is a company that supply rubber feet. It may be worth contacting them and asking if they have something that will do the job.

Unable to view Spare Part Components in SAP CRM Service Order

Hello All,
We are implementing CRM 7.0 Ehp 2.0
As per the following video it is now possible to integrate the spare part components in the CRM Service Order, using the BOM replication and Product Proposal functionality in SAP CRM
SAP CRM 7.0 - Integration of ERP BOM Information in the CRM Product Proposal
However in our case we are not able to achieve the desired results.
Following configurations are done
1) The BOM is replicated from ECC to CRM the same can be viewed in commpr01
Material 4561 is the main product and 4562 is the component
2) The item category for the main product is YRVS where the customization for structure scope is done
3) For the Product Proposal customization's, I have created a new method schema
4) The transaction type and the sales org are assigned to the method schema
5) However now when I am creating the service order, I enter the sold to party, the product id
6) Next I go to the line item to click on product proposal.
7) The system issues the below message
Please advice if I am missing on any configurations.
Kind Regards
Atul

Hi Raghavendra,
Thanks for your reply, appreciate the same, I have now added the relationship objects as per your post above in comm_hierarchy for the particular category
Now in the product master , I am now able to view the tabs(screen shot attached)
Next I create my BOM in ECC with BOM Usage 5 and save the same
Next I run the initial download for the adaptor object BOM in SAP CRM
When I check in commpr01 for the material 4561 the component and the main material have not come.
Can you please advice further.
Kind Regards

How to define alternate items for Spare Parts

Hi SAP Gurus,
My Client wants to implement Alternate items for Spare Parts. It is not a Manufacturing unit.
Actually Client wants their Service Partners to know that
ex., Material A is an alternate item to Material B and can be used for servicing without ordering for Material A.
Whether there is any Possibility to define alternate item in the Material Master.
Off course I have gone through the thread and document of Alternate items in BOM.
I would appreciate for providing Clarity on the subject.
Best Regards,
R.Velmurugan

Hi Velmurugan,
As per your requirement i think you can achieve alternate item group functionality ( as your client is not manufacturing)
You can maintain alternate material in MRP 4 view followup material field or basic data 1 old material Field than develop a ZReport extract the same as of client not manufacturing any thing.
Otherwise refer this document if you to go to Follow up material Functionality.
Concept of Discontinuation Data - Material Master and BOM
If you have any other query kindly revert back otherwise close the thread.
Thanks & Regards

CRM Service - ECC Logisitcs Integration (Spare Parts in a Service Order)

Hi Experts,
We have been trying to configure a scenario for CRM Service Orders with SAP ECC logistics integration in CRM 7.0 EHP1.
We are aware of the standard configuration wherein we assign one logistics scenario ( Purchase Requisition or Purchase Order or Reservation) for a specific service organization & Item Category for spare parts in service order.
Our first query : Is it standard that the spare part will be automatically reserved if it is in stock (after ECC availability check from service order) and purchase requisition or purchase order is created only if it is not in stock?
We also understand that while a reservation happens during Service order creation, the goods issue or material withdrawal happens only on service confirmation. If this the case, how will the physical delivery happen to customer? This is our second query.
Please note that we are raising this query only for spare part items in service order and not for sales item in service order.
It would be great if you could help us with this issue.
Responses will be suitably rewarded.
Thanks,
Prish

Hi Pritesh,
Thank you for your prompt reply and help, appreciate the same, we would be going for the scenario where the service order in sap crm has saleable parts, the service order would get replicated to ecc as a sales order and the costs would get booked when the post goods issue is performed after creating the delivery in SAP ECC.
Following are the configurations done
1) Service Order type ZRVW is created in SAP CRM
2) The same service order ZRVW is mapped in SAP ECC
3) The service order in SAP CRM has the following number range and the same is kept internal
4) The same number range is marked as external in SAP ECC in vn01 tcode
5) The number range is assigned to the document type ZRVW in SAP ECC
6) Item category determinations are done in SAP CRM, standard SRVS(Sales items are copied to YRVS)
7) The same item category determination is also set in SAP ECC for Item category group NORM
8) Item category determination is also set for ERLA as item category group in ECC
9) The item category YRVS is set to delivery relevant in SAP ECC
10) The standard schedule line is determined which is CP is relevant for delivery
11) The sales area is also assigned to the document type ZRVW.
12) In SAP CRM, the status profile YCONT is assigned, having the business transaction to be distributed, the status of the same is set to allowed for completed status
13) The status profile has been assigned to the transaction type ZRVW
14) Pricing configurations are also done in sap crm and sap ecc
15) Now I am creating the service order ZRVW in SAP CRM, having saleable parts, customer's and material's exist in both systems having the same sales area, the status is set to completed at item and header level
16) The system is throwing an error when I click on edit
17) When checked In sap ecc the system says that the document does not exist
18 I did open the error in SAP CRM and it says that there are some settings required for billing
Since there is no billing relevance to this scenario in the item category the billing relevance is set to no billing
Please advice further
Kind Regards
