Creative Spare Parts availability

Midas Touch!!!...Brand new Inspire GigaWorks turned to Trash!!!!...well and its NOT Creative fault...but my super energetic Labrador...who felt what a nioce bone to checw....namely the Vol/Rem Control Unit...it was chewed to oblivion...and I made the best effort to procure a spare(am willing to pay cause its understandably not covered under warranty... I mean my dog's behavior)...NO AVAIL...dealer, service centre, distributor, Creative Tech support(suspect the replies are computer generated!!).."please get the original part(i even took my dog along to explemplify the futility of my efforts in that direction) and we will gladly replace it free for you....purchase ...NNOOOOOO!!!...wow i suppose it may be something to do with IPR....and i thought i was just another customer trying to get his 30 grand boombox to work...i explained to the local manager that it would make sense to keep spares in the inventory...so that OOW(Out of warranty-paid repairs can happen)..mean the 2 month non extendable service.... I even divulged some of the secrets of my own company (ie Dell Inc.)...and how we focus on CE...the guy was impressed by the OOW thingi and said he would push my stuff to his seniors!!!!while the Giga whatever makes a good decor in the family room....Am actually using it to practice my Zen routine....focussin on the sense on hearing...and what a frivolous waste of my life resources to satisfy that sense door and desire...think Buddha is a cool dude afer all...though he did not have creative in his time!!!!

  • 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,

    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

  • SAP PM-MM Linkage for spare parts planning

    Hi
    I need to know the linkages between SAP PM-MM for the spare material... do any one came across this concept ?
    - Pithan

    1.If you create PR for spare part from Maintenance order , when goods receipt comes to stores automatically notification gets created ,this setting is done in Material Master record.
    2.You create Equipment BOM & attach it to equipment , for easy way of putting this into order during planning.
    3.You can check Material Availability in Maintenance Order.
    4.You can define the scope of Check in "Availability Check for Material" , in Spro Customize , you define check should include Material in PR , PO or Quality inspection & other.
    5.From Task list which you have planned , you can check how much quantity is currently available or when to procure.
    6.You can define default external profile settings for external mat in SPRO settings

  • Mapping Spare part kit planning in SAP

    Hi,
    We have below requirement in Spare part Kitting process
    1)
    Client  makes compressors, which obviously have a lot of components, where one of the prime part is valve.
    2)
    Valve Kit is a finished product having components which are used in regular unit production also, where MRP Type can be VV or PD.
    3)
    This valve kit sold as a spare part.Customers buy these kits and typical assembly time is 1 day.
    4)
    This kit is not kept in stock and is assembled after receiving an order.
    5)
    To be ready for customer orders, client forecasts these kits (about 10000) and drives the demand for lower level components.
    6)
    When customer places an order, legacy system promises the dates based on availability of components. Date is promised to the customer based on the availability of the components. Also the requirement is passed on to the floor to assemble and shipped the same day.
    7)
    To meet above requirement, we proposed to use Forecast based planning, where system will create planned order for Kit assembly & component can be planned.Knowing there is a back drop i.e. planned order created thru forecast can be converted into production order.
    8)
    Then demonstrated “ATO – Assemble to Order” functionality in SAP. This uses strategy group 81 for the kit material XX-XXXX-XX. When a sales order is created for a material with strategy group 81, system immediately creates a planned order and as per component availability, proposes the next available date of the assembly.
    9)
    Since ATO is an MTO process, Planned order is tied to Sales Order and when production order goods receipt is done, stock is received into Sales Order stock. Hence Sales Orders do not consume the forecast.
    10)
    Question here is how to consume the forecast? When sales order is shipped system is not updating consumption data? This is important as today they use the consumption values to execute the forecast.
    If any one has come across similar requirement, please give other options keeping below points in view
    1. We should be able to plan valve kits may be thru forecasting or PIR's. This to start procuring components.
    2. When sales order is created, system should do availability check at component level.
    3. Consumption data should be updated if we use forecasting to plan kit or if we use PIR's, sales order should consume the demand. Consumption of forecasting requirement is also required.
    Thanks in advance.
    Hari

    Hi ,
    Looks like problem is due to
    - Need to do ATP at componnent level  which is only possible with Planning  strategy 81,82. You cannot use planning strategy 40( 40 considers forecast , sales order & consumption)
    - 81 ,82 planning strategy doesn't consume forecast for End item(Sales order entry material)
    You could use Sales order BOM function. It is provided for selling Kits. BOM is exploded in sales order & kit items are put as seperate sales order items ( 20... 30... 40 ) Here are steps.
    -  Create BOM with usage 5- Sales order relevancy of bom components is Ticked
    - Create Sales order with item which is BOM header. System will explode BOM & all items will be part of sales order as item.
    - You can configure Sale Price at End FG level, Inventory management( DO issue) at item /components level .
    - Forecast will be consumed at end item level.Need configuration
    - ATP check can be performed at componenet level
    Only thing is you will not have Plan order for doing assembly & there is no cost captured for assembly . Kitting donot involve much labor time.
    Hope it helps

  • How to manage spare parts and production parts seperately

    Hello,
    I want to keep some spare parts for services only ,though some of them also used in production .
    then how can I implement this in SAP system,how the stock of spare parts not influence the forecast of the production( means these parts only can be used in services)
    how to separate these parts in Warehouse in system and physically.
    Thanks,
    Helai

    Helai,
    If it were MY company, I would
    1.  Put the spares into a diff storage locn
    2.  Enter Safety stock for the quantity I want kept in 'spares' inventory
    3.  Use an availability check in which Safety stock is not relevant for ATP for these parts.
    However, this does not meet all of YOUR stated business requirements.  For this, you have to use MRP areas, and have the 'spares' storage location assigned to a different MRP area.  You can then plan them completely separately from your production parts.
    [MRP Area|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/EN/c4/106956ae8a11d1a6720000e83235d4/frameset.htm]

  • Spare parts for powerbook G3

    The screen of my powerbook G3 is severely damaged by accident. So I contacted my nearest Apple reseller to find out that there are no spare parts any more for this "old" machine. I just would like to know if this a local problem or are the new G3 parts sold out worldwide ?

    New parts are no longer available.
    But there are folks who have discovered the "large chunks" you can quickly separate a computer into are worth more as parts than as complete systems. Complete screen unit for powerBook G3 is a commonly-available part. There are three different ones for the WallStreet PowerBook alone.
    eBay is one place where some of those parts are available. Tested parts with a modest warranty are available from online sellers and repairers of iBooks and Powerbooks with their own web sites. Full repair service with warranty is also available.

  • Converting Damaged Finished Goods to Spare Parts

    Dear Experts,
    Our customer deals in water heaters.
    They have a process of taking the damaged water heaters from customer as receipt. post the receipt if it can be repaired it will be repaired and given back to the customer or if it cannot be repaired then they see if it is with in warranty then they replace the product and if it is not within warranty then ask the ask the customer to buy a new one.
    If the damaged water heater cannot be repaired then they un-assemble the water heater and take whatever the good spare parts and take the spare parts into inventory.
    Now what is the best way to map this process in SAP. That is how to convert the FG water heater to spares parts. Is there any movement type available for this ?
    Regards,
    Sohan

    Hi Sohan,
    This scenario is a Sales After market scenario. Please check with SAP SD consultant to address this scenario.
    In case if you want to address through MM Route,  Please check following prerequisite:-
    Payment must be processed to Customers/Vendors upon receipt of the Water Heaters.
    Water Heaters must be loaded to Valuated inventory stock upon receipt.
    Checking warranty can not be incorporated in SAP MM.
    Decision of Repair and Warranty could not be captured in MM.
    Reg the process of repair, you can have it via a Sub Contracting Scenario.
    Thanks

  • Spare part Planning for Breakdown maintenance

    Hi... Gurus ,
    how we maintain the minimum or maximum spare inventory in stores Dept. for Maintenance Purpose in SAP ?
    so the breakdown will not be delay due to spare not available in the stores.
    or i need one other storage location for kept that critical spares in it.
    Please suggest the correct way to do ....

    In Spare Parts Material Master, under MRP view, you can maintain the planning details like Safety Stock, Reorder Point, MRP type (Manual Reorder Point Planning), etc.,
    By running MRP on some periodical basis, system will create PR for the required items for which stock goes below the Reorder Point.
    By this, spare parts stock can be maintained properly without affecting Breakdown Maintenance.

  • UltraNav enabled keyboards spare parts in Australia - please reconsider

    I recently took delivery of an x61s, complete with ultranav keyboard (fantastic idea).  However, a user is not able to type on the notebook keypad when the computer is docked (not so flash!) so a keyboard is a requirement.....
    The ultranav availability on the keyboard is an important user requirement to make this situation manageable, particularly if a user is not required to change their work style to an external mouse arrangement when docked...... not something I have done for 10+ years.
    The problem:  The notebook came with an ultranav enabled keyboard (that  unfortunately broke within 10 days of delivery - user error!!) but when a replacement was sought they were not being imported to Australia anymore. This situation made the the docking station (and DVD/CD/RW) redundant due to my dependence on the ultranav device.   
    They are available in many other countries, but not Australia.   Do the spare parts teams not talk to the product / design teams?  The x61s system configuration (particularly docking stn & CD R/W) require a keyboard.......and surely Lenovo would want to promote the continued use of the efficient ultranav 'mouse' system. 
    If you want to continue to promote the ultanav devices, please continue to import the ultanav keyboard, like so many other countries seem to be doing.....
    Regards

  • Spare Parts For iPOD 60 GB

    I want to know about +*ALL THE SPARE PARTS*+ that are available for the iPOD 60 GB ...
    Like for example a battery is replacable ... can we also replace the upper surface of the iPOD ... because mine is all scratched now and you can hardly watch videos with ease.

    For a source of replaceable parts, PDASmart http://www.pdasmart.com/ipodpartscenter.htm is a good start - including a few parts you didn't think were replaceable. Of course, much depends on the model of iPod.
    But because you're dealing with the screen, I'll suggest a second option. I've had fine results with InvisibleShield http://www.invisibleshield.com/ipod/. By correctly applying this thin, tough, removable film, used by the U.S. military to protect the leading edges of helicopters, the scratches seem to disappear. It's functionally what you require, and has a lifetime guarantee against wear. Mine is invisible and nearly undetectable - just follow the video instructions carefully.

  • Spare Parts / Screen Goes Black

    Hi guys,
    Anybody know a trustable source of getting spare parts of iMac in Europe? (better in Spain, but the UK will be fine)
    A couple of days ago my iMac just died. The screen turned off but i could hear the iMac running. I restarted in safe mode to check if that could be a Software problem and the it lasted on for a couple of minutes and it turned off completely. It never turned on again.
    I talked to the repair service and they said the most common cause could be
    1 - The Internal Power Source (around 200 euros of repair cost)
    2 - The Inverter (around 500 euros of repair cost)
    For a 3 years old iMac, paying 500 euros y NOT an option. I am a bit **** out about the reliability of Mac now.
    Anyhow, i have to resolve the problem or use it as a fairly big paper holder. I might buy the piece and ask a friend of mine who is an electronic engineer to help me out. I checked the iFix guides and also parts in the US and the cost of the Power Source or Inverter in never more than 100 euros.
    By the way, by reading on the Internet about this turn off monitor problem most of the people say the the usual causes are the Display Power Source or the Inverter, but it could be that the memory went bad too.
    Thanks for any help,

    HI,
    It sure wouldn't hurt to try and boot from your install disc.
    Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    *(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space
    Try Resetting the SMC
    Try Resetting the PRAM

  • Spare part for HP HDX X18

    Hi guys,
    I'd like to know where and how i can get this plastic spare parts for HP HDX X18 ? don't have to be only this part can be all this side plastic cover too... 

    You will need to completely identify your HDX noteboook with its product name.
    Lets start with you helping us by identifying your notebook completely.
    HP has produced and brought to market more than a thousand different models of notebooks and desktop PCs over the years. It is difficult to help you if we don't know which specific model you own..
    Method #1: If the notebook will boot into Windows, you can retrieve your Product Number by pressing Fn + Esc key.
    Method #2:
    Remove the battery and look in the compartment where the battery was installed. You should see a Service tag with printed part number and a product name. Please post the p/n (with all alphanumeric characters) here. If you live outside of North America, it helps us if you post the country of purchase. Also post the installed CPU type. (AMD or Intel)
    Don't forget to post the name of the installed operating system if you haven't already done that.
    Use the Maintenence & Service Guide to see exactly which parts you need. Once you identify the notebook I will be able to edit this post and provide a link to the pdf file for you.
