CATS--- How it is transferred to plant Maintenance module

Hello HCM Guys,
Currently we are confirming Manhours using IW41 against the reservations of the respective manhours made in the Maint work order.After confirmation , the cost of the manhours is accumulated on the work order which is settled on the sender Cost Center maintained in the Work center master data. After TECO of the work order, Settlement of the maint work order is done in Controlling module thru KO88/KO8G(mass) and the cost transferred from the sender to the receiver cost center maintained in the CO during month end closure activity before period end close. Also standard Activity re-evaluation is done for consecutive month activity price update thru the link of activity type---Cost center assignment. This is the standard process of confirmation of manhours in SAP.
Now since the business needs indiviual employee manhours confirmation(Internal and external employees(Contractors), I understand it can be achieved by the CATS component of HR module. I understand that in this process of CATS we do the daily attendance/absence/overtime thru the standard data entry profile maintained in CATS by HR team. After the employee has entered his daily time sheet and released, it is approved by Time administrator of HR dept which finally goes to Manager-HR for his approval. The approved time sheet manhours are then  transferred to respective module like PS, PM, CS modules. As we have never used this before I wnat to know how the transfer of costs happen when transfer to Plant Maintennace module is done. How the cost gets booked. How the cost is charged and transferred to payroll in PM...Does this happen against Maint Orders or CO Internal orders?Please explain me the detail procedure after transfer of manhours to Plant maintenance module and the cost transfer to respective receivers from sender objects....
Thanks
Murad Shaikh

usually there is one step approval in CATS, You can do so via cats_appr_lite in backend
Transfer to other components is done via CAT6
Refer help.sap.com on various target components CATS can do transfer. you need to define the correct attributes

  • Fund management in plant maintenance module

    Hi.
    can anyone explain how fund management works in plant maintenance module. Actually to say we have implemented FM. We make FM entries in orders in GOTO -> assignment -> Fund Management.
    The question is, when we make entries in PM orders, it creates auto reservation No. for the materials (components) which are added in component tab of order. though in PM order we have made FM entries it is not carried by the system in auto generated reservation no. Plz advice.

  • How to read the configuration for SAP GUI elements in Plant Maintenance module from SPRO and leverage the same in NWBC for HTML.

    Dear Members,
    Greetings for the day!
    I am working on NWBC for HTML in Plant Maintenance module.
    We have configured some changes in SPRO for customizing the UI elements( like visibility, mandatory ) like tabs and fields in transactions like IW21( Create Notification).
    As of now separate parallel configuration needs to be carried out in NWBC for HTML in PM module to achieve the same UI features for creating notifications and this is time consuming.
    Is there any way to read the configuration done in SPRO for the SAP GUI's and leverage the same in NWBC for HTML.
    Appreciate your time in responding to this.
    Thanks & Regards,

    This configuration is weird little bit. There is MatchExpression /app1 and MatchExpression /app2 and at the same time two <Location /weblogic> sections. Are you sure you understand what that configuration stands for?
    Try something like this ...
    <Location /app1>
    SetHandler weblogic-handler
    WebLogicCluster 127.0.0.1:7003,127.0.0.1:7005,127.0.0.1:7007,127.0.0.1:7103,127.0.0.1:7104

    where /app1 and /app2 are contexts of your weblogic applications.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Cancellation of backflushing in plant maintenance module

    Hi all,
    Can we stop the backflushing in plant maintenance module? i have not activated backflushing in the material and also in the work center. Still, when i give the materials in the order while confirming it, the materials are issued from the stores. how to stop this background process?

    Hi Reddy,
    It is in the PM orders. Actually for simplifying their work they are doing the maintenance order confirmation using TCode "IW42 - overall completion confirmation". since the materials are entered in the operations they come in the confirmation screen and hence gets confirmed.
    Should i do the process of time confirmation and material issues through goods issue for order?
    thanks

    hi,
    please explain me SAP Enterprise  Structure for Plant maintenance (PM) module.

    Hi,
        As SAP PM enterprise structure comprises of Company, Maintenance Planning plant & Maintenance Plant. Company will be defined in Financial Accounting. Production plant will be the maintenance plant. Seperate plant would be created as Maintenance Planning Plant. All the plants (Maintenance Planning plant & Maintenance Plant) should be assigned to the company. All the maintenance plants should be assigned to Maintenance Planning Plant. For all the Maintenance Plants, technical objects would be created.
    Company --> Maintenance Planning Plant --> Maintenance Plant.
    Relation between Maintenance Planning Plant & Maintenance Plant will be 1:1 or 1:n or n:1.

    Hello Deepak,
    IBASE -> A collection of function modules used for VC or Hierarchcal structures.
    Fleet   -> Is used for example if you have to maintain many vehicals i. e. car park etc.
    this is the easiest way to describe the use of both elements.
    Hope that this helps

  • Reg Plant Maintenance Module

    There is a smartform developed for my client instead of SAPSCRIPT for program RIPCT00(i.e TCODE - IW32).  In smartform client wants to have 2 fields.
    1 - How many Maintenance order created of the eqiupment
    2 - Last Maintenance order of selected equipment.
    But for both fileds they have mentioned as Max of AFIH-AUFNR.
    Experts can you please suggest me what will be the solution.
    Ex: if there are 2 records with AUFNR as 21 and 22.
    My guess is for 1 is by calculating no of records in AFIH. i.e 21 and 22 so value is 2.
    My guess is for  2 should i take 21 or 22 as Last maintenance order.
    Is my guess is in right direction because i am new to PM module. Please give me your valuable suggestions.

    Hi,
    1 - How many Maintenance order created of the eqiupment
    general logic will be to count the total number of AUFNR in the table
    2. Last maint order of selec equipment.
    This you have to check on the below logics
    Based on Created date.
    Based on Order start date.
    based on Order number.
    So for this you need to discuss with the business owner and document them in the FS correctly.

    Dear experts,
    Can anyone guide me if i want to put certain restrictions like :
    1. other Department will not be able to create Order using other dptt. Maintenance work center, equipment etc.
    2. user should not be able to cancel TECO status of order, or not allowed to to put deletion flag on order or notification.
    3. Order Release retriction.
    4. Should not be able to release/operate other dptt order.
    How can i find Object where i can restrict or user exits related to all this.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    1--You can use field exit for checking and validate the workcenter and equipment, but abaper only can do that.
    This user exit also u can use "IWO10009 Maintenance order: Customer check for "Saving""
    2--please test below user exit can use "IWO10026 User check when setting status "Do not perform""
    3-- Use below user exit for validate before release order.
    IWO10002 Maintenance order: Customer check for order release

  • Regarding Production Resource Tools in Plant Maintenance Module

    Dear All,
    In our client group we have 3 maintenance companies PM1, PM2 and PM3. Presently we are implementing SAP PM in PM1.
    My issue is like this...we have lubricants which is used for maintenance work in PM1.
    This material is brought from PM2 at free of cost, so we(PM1) no need to pay any amount to PM2.
    As if now we have created lubricants as material and getting the material with free of cost in PO. Now when I bring this material for free the price is zero.
    when we use this material in our maintenance order, we need the cost of the lubricants used for maintenance.
    After searching few forums, i came to know that lubricants can be used as PRT tools.
    If anyone has any idea about this...please tell me how to solve this...
    thanks in advance,
    Nagesh

    This is wrong. To fix the first wrong thing you should not do a second wrong thing. If a transaction happens between two company codes it should be seen from several angles. Please ensure that MM and FI have agreed for this. Also, using lubricants as PRTs is very odd. PRTs don't get consumed. Components do. The stock goes down when u issue them to the order. U don't return the lube oil cans after you complete the order!
    My suggestion is that you sit with the MM and FI consultants and together come to a conclusion. This can't be done in isolation.
    thanks
