Draw spares from MB21 and link to Maintenance order

Hello Guys,
The users of site work they draw spares without delay, they find mb21 a quick way of doing so. Whether there is a way of linking items reserved/drawn through mb21 to a maintenance order at a later stage such that the costing is correctly reflected in the order.
Can some one guide me on the above scenerio.
Regards
Suman

Suman,
Its a two step process..
1) Do a reversal into stock for the item or cancel the original Material document using MBST if this is the only item on the material document.
2) Do a goods isue against the right order for the same material.
If the user (BA or Store personnel) are reluctant to do a two step process have a developer write a custom program that does this.Basically design a screen that receives the information and then post two material documents on the save of the transaction.

Budget Process (Linked the maintenance Order into Internal Order) in EAM

Dear Experts,
Scenario for Repair & Maintenance with only MM & FICO module live w.e.f. 2007 (PM not live)
Process Managed thru Internal Order (Order Type: RPMT)
Budget managed through Investment Management (IM); Budget is directly entered against the IO using transaction IM52
Scenario for Repair & Maintenance with only MM, FICO & PM module live (PM went live in 2010)
It was proposed to assign budget against each Maintenance Order. Since the number of maintenance orders being used is very high, it was decided to link the MO & IO so that budget will be assigned to the IO and when the MO is settled against the IO, the budget in IO can be deducted accordingly. The proposed process to assign budget in Internal Order against each Maintenance Order are given below-:
1.)     In EAM process one can plan/procure material and External Services only when the Maintenance Order is created & released but practically it has to be planned long before any Maintenance Activity (Maintenance Order to be linked with the estimate so that PO can be created against the estimate).
2.)     The no. of Maintenance Order generated in EAM Module is very large as Maintenance order is created for almost each and every maintenance activity. It is cumbersome to allocate the budget to each and every maintenance order. There should be a single estimate for maintenance activity (as in MM module) and that should be linked to maintenance order so that the actual cost of Indent/Service Entry Sheet can be deducted automatically from the estimate (Maintenance Order is to be linked with estimate).
3.)      While doing return Indent the cost of return material is not being added to the maintenance order automatically (Maintenance Order is to be linked with estimate).
4.)      If Material & External Services not planned in the maintenance order (estimate), the user must be able to do that through Internal Order (estimate), hence the Internal Order must be link to the Maintenance Order. They should able to record the planned & actual cost in the maintenance Order.
Process followed:
1.) Created Internal Order in KO01 for Repair & Maintenance Order Type
     Assigned budget to Internal Order thru IM52
2.) Created PM order and assigned Internal order against Settlement Order in tab
     u2018Locationu2019 and in Settlement Rule with 100%. In this Section attach the Internal
     Order with selection type u2018ORDu2019.
3.) Released both orders and issue the Material for particular Operation and then
     determine the Cost for material .After that performed MIGO for consumption of
     materials.
4.) Settled the PM order in KO88.
     Settlement process was successfully saved.
Problem faced:
After posting the goods movement (against each Maintenance Order) and settlement of the maintenance order against IO, we still find the budget assigned to the IO is not consumed/deducted.
1. Actual cost of maintenance is not reflected in the internal order
    immediately. We have to run cost settlement (t-code KO88) for the
    maintenance order each time the actual cost is incurred in the maintenance order.
2. Also in the case of return indent, the value of returned material is not directly
    added to the available budget of internal order.
3. When the material is issued from store through the reservation generated by
    maintenance order, system does not check for budget in the internal
    order/maintenance order while issuing material from the store.
4. It must not be allowed to create reservation from the internal order of order type
     RPMT.
5. In case of external service in the maintenance order, the unit of
     measure in the requisition is set to u201CD (days)u201D by default. System does not allow
     changing the unit of measure in the requisition (it should allow to change the unit
     of measure or set the unit of measure u201CJOBu201D).
6.) When the material is issued from the store through reservation generated in
     maintenance order, system does not check for budget in Internal Order
     (estimate)/Maintenance Order while issuing material from store.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
1. Actual cost of maintenance is not reflected in the internal order
immediately. We have to run cost settlement (t-code KO88) for the
maintenance order each time the actual cost is incurred in the maintenance order.
As per the standard system budgeting is done against the actual cost only. And until you settle your order the actual cost from
maint order are not getting transfered to IO. Once they are transfered system is checking for the budget.
2. Also in the case of return indent, the value of returned material is not directly added to the available budget of internal order.
This is similar to first point, when you return goods there will be negative cost on the order, this has to be settled until that system will not compare the IO budget with maintenance order actual cost.
3. When the material is issued from store through the reservation generated by maintenance order, system does not check for budget in the internal order/maintenance order while issuing material from the store.
The budget you have assigned is at IO, how can system will check the budget while issueing goods for maintenance order. We may have to develop or use some user exit over here. Which will trigger checking of budget from the settlement receiver IO for that maintenance order.
I think you may have to go for development. These are my observations from my experience.

Difference between Maint workcenter and workcenter in Maintenance order

Dear PM Guru's,
i am little bit confusing regard the follow work center descriptions in maintenance order. In Maintenance order header data One Maint work center is there, and one more in Operation tab one more work center is there. Is these two work centers are maintenance related work centers or not? if these maintenance work centers how we can define these two separately? in which situation we can use these work centers? In general how we can define the work centers in plant maintenance ? for my client i created based on group of people, for maintenance people one work center and electrical people one work center , these two are i am using at Maint work center field. But i am not understand workcenter in Operation tab? please guide me , yours suggestions help me to overcome the mistakes if i did any thing wrong. i like to know the impact of the these two work centers use also? if user wants each work center for individual work center how i can map where i can assign this work center?
thanks & regards

Hi
from SAP help
The Main Work Center
The main work center usually represents one person or a department, responsible for ensuring that the maintenance work in an order is executed by the work centers performing the individual operations.
The Performing Work Center
The performing work center usually represents one person or a group of people who perform the maintenance work in the operations of an order.
Use
The Main Work Center
The main work center must be entered in the order header, whereupon its master data is copied into the order as a default.
During internal processing, the main work center is also used as a default for the performing work center.
In addition to the main work center, you can create a specific employee, who has been represented in the Human Resources (HR) component with their own master record, as Person responsible.
The Performing Work Center
In addition to the main work center, you can create a specific employee, who has been represented in the Human Resources (HR) component with their own master record, as Person responsible. You can also assign other employees to an operation in the Requirement assignment.
The performing work center is managed in the operation data for the order. It is proposed as a performing work center for the operations in the order. Since capacities are assigned to the performing work center and costs assigned using the activity type, the performing work center is required primarily for capacity planning, scheduling and cost determination.
It is also possible to create operations without entering a performing work center. A control key, which is not linked to a cost center or an activity type, must then be assigned to these operations. It may be that the operations are simply used for documentation purposes, for example, operations that only contain safety instructions or specifications for the production/resources tools to be used. Operations without a specified performing work center are also used in external processing.

Upload file and link to sales order in SAP via rfc (C#)

Hello all,
In my company we have the possibility to attach files to sales orders, e.g. pdf files with the printing details.
These files are added by the GUI user, this works fine.
Now we have an extra order creation stream in which a pdf file has to be added to the SO without user interaction.
In a previous question I had a little question about the linking, that has been solved, I will post the test program later.
I now can link front end files (pdf's in this case) to the sales orders and it works fine.
Now we are developing a frontend in C# (build by a third party) which creates a sales order via a RFC. We also want that RFC to include the PDF file and link it to the created order.
In the interface of the RFC I included a table with 255 char lines. That is the same as in the example program. the problem is that our partner is yet unable to fill the interface in exact the same way as the example program does, so the linked pdf file is corrupted.
Does anyone have hints how C# should fill the interface table, or how I can change the interface?
code snippid table declaration for pdf table:
IT_PDF     LIKE     ZETEX_TAB_PDF
and
structure ZETEX_TAB_PDF consists of

Generation of k type PR and service through maintenance order

dear all,
i require help from all of you , how i can book service and k type purchase requition cost on the maitntenance order.
raghav

Hi,
You can buy non stock material of Item Category N via MO , PR will get generated and u can create PO for that PR and receive the material ..
If the Non stock material does not have a material master record, In Component Tab - you can still enter description , quantity -units of purchase , purchasing details with vendor and generate PR accordingly ..
If the Non stock material has material master record you can enter that manually , else create an eqpt BOM or material BOM - mention this non stock material in that and use the BOM [ going to component Tab -selecting List option at bottom] while creating Maintenance Order on tht eqpt ..
We can maintain only PR of one type for Maintenance Order ..we generally use PR NB Type as per config settings spro ->PM->Maintenance and service orders ->General data ->Define Account Assignment and document type for PRs ..
If u want to have separate PR type for non stock component procurement then u can try via user exit COZF0002 Change purchase req. for externally procured component..i am not sure wht u mean by part code here ..

Profit Center to be picked from Equipment Cost center in Maintenance Order

Hi All
We are not maintianing any costcenter in work center and only maintaning the cost center in equipment master.
So when i create the maintenance order, profit center is not picked up in Additional Data Tab from Cost center maintained in equipment master.
Please provide your valuable sugesstions.
Regards
Praveen

Hi,
The profit center is derived from the cost center of the responsible work center when the order is first created. If a cost center is not available then I expect the profit center cannot be automatically filled on the order. The user can manually enter a value.
The exit IWO10005 is frequently used to determine the profit center. You may want to look at implementing some custom logic there.

Standard Value and Activity at maintenance order

Dear All
I have created a standard value and attached a parameter of unit meter cube with the work center, however when i create maintenance order of same work center (by using IW31) system is not showing standard value parameter i attached on work center. It only shows activity type to select and operation duration in HRs.
Kindly respond on you earliest.
Thanks

Dear Narasimhan
In this process operation we are consuming natural gas that i want to take as an input that how much gas has been consumed during maintenance. I have created a standard value key and then attached that with workcenter. now i want to take that gas consumption value during confirmation.

Classification and characteristics for maintenance orders/notifications

Has anyone had any success in extending classification to maintenance orders and/or operations and notications? If so, can you offer any advice.

Paul,
I've heard of people doing it via IWO10018 (enhancement tab)... but not by any other method.
So if anyone else has managed to do this another way, then I'd be very interested..
You could use the same method in notifications (QQMA0001)

Repeating XML content from db and linked images

I'm using XML to flow content from a database into an ID CS2 pub. There will be an .ai file associated with each record which will be placed into a tagged inline frame in each repeating element. I would like to store the .ai files in their own directory and have a field in the database that references the path to each specific file for each particular record.
So...do I simply need to put a placeholder image in the layout and tag the path to the link with the same name as the db field referencing the image path? How do I tag the path to the linked image?
On a related note, I would also to include a symbol with certain records (there's a field in the db that's a "yes-no" checkbox--if this box is checked for any record, I would like the symbol to appear on the page with that record).
Hope I'm being clear here.
Thanks for the help.

Hello bshannon,
Thanks for your answer, I tried your suggestion but when I use URLDataSource I get the error message http 500 (in my original post I said that using URLDataSource the mail was sent but without the image... my mistake, I was getting this same error). I traced the error and I found that it is caused by a null pointer exception... let me explain
This is the code for the jsp that returns the image:
4        <jsp:useBean id="coverImage" class="com.mqm.struts.getImageAction" scope="session" />
5       <%
6           // Desired size of the image to return
7           int heigth = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("heigth"));
8          int width = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("width"));
9
10          // Each item can have up to 6 images (ordered by id), this indicates wich of one we have to return
11            int imageIndex = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("imageIndex"));
12        byte[] imgData = coverImage.getItemImageAction(request.getParameter("itemId"), request,heigth, width, imageIndex );
13        response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
14        OutputStream o = response.getOutputStream();
15         o.write(imgData);
16         o.flush();
17         out.clearBuffer();
18         o.close();
        %> getImageAction is my DAO class that actually reads the image data from the DB, when I use this 'getImage.jsp' inside any other jsp in the app it works, but when used as described in the first post the request parameter in the line 12 doesn't have the session info, apparently creates a new session or something and since I use information in the session to create the DAO factory I can't connect to the DB and get this error..
pls tell me if I explained my self or I'm just talking non sense

Responsible Cost Center and Profit Center in a Maintenance Order

Dears,
I would like to know what's the real influence that responsible cost center and profit center located in the
"add. data" tab in maintenance order has when I confirm a labor (through the IW41) and settlement an maintenance order.
Best Regards,
D. Quint.

D Quintal,
When you perform a confirmation (IW41) the cost centre assigned to the work centre is credited, and the order debited.
This work centre cost centre may be the same cost centre as the responsible cost centre in the order...

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Deepak1103,
Well, obviously you will have to settle the costs incurred at the maintenance order. The internal order should be mentioned in the settlement order field in the location tab of the maintenance order. What you can do is to ask your ABAP person to activate this enhancement IWO10004: Maintenance order: Customer check for order completion, use the CAUFVD structure to get the internal order number, then use the BAPI BAPI_INTERNALORDER_GETDETAIL and pass the details to the function module BBPG_BUDGET_CHECK and check the actual cost against the required budget. In case of a conflict raise an error other wise run the function module CK_F_IH_ORDER_SETTLE to settle the costs of the maintenance order to the internal order. Budget would also be consumed and you can verify the same in S_ALR_87013019.

How to calculate work in process for maintenance order

how to calculate work in process for maintenance order i.e raw materials not used

Hi,
Generally, when u create PR from maintenance order, account assignment category should be F. Cost of services first settles on the order when u create service entry sheet. Further it got settled onto settlement receiver given in order.
If you want to change the category from F to K for maintenance orders then follow the IMG menu path as given below.

Hello Mihir,
Unfortunately, this is not possible. The long text of the error message that you are getting already offers some information about this:
"Manual reservation for order category & not allowed.
Cause:
You entered an order whose category only permits automatic reservations.
The following order categories do not allow manual reservations:
.- 10 PP production order
.- 20 network
.- 30 maintenance order <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< This applies to your case.
.- 40 batch order (process manufacturing)
.- 50 inspection lot
System response:
The system does not accept your specification.
What to do:
Enter a different account assignment, or cancel the processing.
If required, check whether any reservations for the specified account assignment   already exist."
An explanation to this fact is the following one:
"The manual creation of material reservations in this scenario is not supported by the system. Every material allocation has to be assigned to the order operation. We have to keep a tight integration between the reservation and the order because of rescheduling, costing, material requirement planning etc. You cannot split some of the functions. Planning of material consumption has to be carried out via the order.
There are no plans to change it in the future."
Sorry, but there is no option!
Best regards,
Esther.
