Equipment calibration process

Hi experts,
in equipment calibration process we have created a plan and scheduled.
maintenance order with inspection lot created.Calibration completed and closed.
But for the next calibration due date again we have to save the schedule (IP10)
in order to create maintenace order with inspection lot automatically by the system.
is there any solution for this problem so that we don't have to save the schedule again and again to create maintenance order automatically ? Plz answer.

When you create a maintenance plans for calibration in the third tab you will find sort field, define one sort field specific to calibration in configuration and attach it with your all calibration plans. Now after completing the calibration work don't forget to run the dead line monitoring program. Simple select the sort field and execute it will not take more than a min and all your next planned dates will be adjusted automatically

Error QE503- in QE11 transaction (results acquisition) for Equipment calibration

Hi Gurus
I'm working on QM-PM environment to set-up a Equipment Calibration process.
I've defined a routing for Equipment, and I've linked few Quantitative Inspection characteristics to the PM Order Operation.
When I run IP10 to schedule the Maintenance plan defined for the equipment, the system create fine a Lot Inspection.
When I try to set the inspection result using QA32/QA11 the system isssue the Error "QE503-Enter a valuation for this qualitative characteristic"
rather Inspection charactristics are defined QUANTITATIVE !!
Where is the error ??
Thanks in advance for your help.
Claudio

Hello ,
Whenever you are working in QM/PM environment , your using inspection point as well as define sampling procedure in task list so that inspection lot created w.r.t equipment. Now because you are using inspection point w.r.t equipment i.e. 300 then definitely you check and if not maintained then maintain the inspection point valuation in QM customizing in plant level settings.
Before UD it is required to put the valuation against the inspection point and then post the UD.
goto QM---> Basic setting---> Plant level---> Define inspection point valuation.
Now, as you said this is related to MIC, please provide the screen shot of Error message. If any assignment is there then system will provide you the MIC number for which it is required.
Another, check whether you selected the correct task list or not. i.e. same Grp but different grp counter. it may possible that mistakenly you selected the another grp counter.
Check all master data first, and then go to customizing part for correction.

SAP PM - Equipment calibration

Hi PM Expert,
Good Day , i am PP/QM/PM user but i am new to PM and now my boss ask me to implement PM with QM. So i would like to know equipment calibration process.
I do have the process as below but can any one help to tell me entire flow in sequence.
Thank you.
Inspection Characteristics
QS21-Create Master Inspection Characteristic
PM Order for calibration
IA06-Assign MIC to task list
IE02-Euipment (PRT) status
IW28-Create PM order with Notification List
Result Recording
QE17-Record Result for Inspection lot
QA11-Record Usage Decision for Inspection lot

Hi Kent999
Process :
Equipment Calibration will be planned as a single cycle plan and scheduling will be done using Scheduling Parameters.
Calibration order will be created through dead line monitoring functionality and system will generate Inspection lot. Based on the master inspection characteristic parameters and sampling procedure inspection lot will be processed. Results of the testing will be recorded and valuated. System will provide an indication whether the parameters are with in the acceptable limits and usage decision can be taken for acceptance / rejection of the calibration.
Maintenance order can be confirmed, technically completed.
Steps :
u2022     Create task list with Inspection points & MIC
u2022     Create Single Cycle Plan for Test Equipment -- If applicable
u2022     Assign the Task list with Master Inspection Characteristic
u2022     Schedule the plan using the scheduling parameters -- If applicable
u2022     Using Dead line Monitoring function Schedule the Plan -- If applicable
u2022     Release the Calibration Order Generated by the system and Check the Inspection Lot.
u2022     Process the Inspection Lot and Record the results
u2022     Confirm the operations of the calibration order.
u2022     Valuate the results and take Usage decision, automatic technically completion of order.
T codes
IA01      Create Equipment Task List
IP41             Create Single Cycle Plan
IP10             Schedule Single Cycle Plan
IW32     Release Maintenance Order
QA02 / QA03     Change / display Inspection lot
QE17     Results Recording of Equipment and valuate
IW41     Confirm the Operation
QA11     Record Usage Decision
QGA2     Display Inspection Results
QGA3     Print Inspection Lot Results
KO88     Settlement of order
Hope this will help you.

Configuration of calibration process

sir i am new in sap pm.my boss given me a task that how to configure a calibration process in sap pm.i have seen on scn or google but i didn't get any document related to that please help me to configure a calibration process in sap.if you have any pdf or doc file then please share it to me.

Hi
It is a Huge data but Inshort I can tell you
1.Create Equipment using IE01
2.Create task list in IA01/IA05
3.Create Maintainance plan using IP01
schedule the equipment in the same with fix cycle.
4.Schedule through IP30.
Also In customization against PM order define the Inspection lot origin 14
After scheduling Inspec lot of 14 will be created
Then Do RR & DR
This is how it will be used

QM & PM Calibration Process Configuration

Hi
I wanted to configure a calibration process. I have made the settings for PM and QM integration but unfortunately in our implementation QM is not in scope but I need to do the QM settings which will be required for calibration. Can anyone provide me a configuration document for calibration process which contains the settings for QM as well as for PM.
Thanks a lot for help.
Thanks & Regards
Vineet

Dear Vineet,
In QM SPRO you have to assign inspection type 14which is for inspection in plant maintenance. Also you have to maintain number range for this. most of work in calibration belongs to PM only.
Following is the flow:
1) IE01 : Create test quuipment.
2) QDV1: Create sampling procedure for plant mentenance.
3) IP42 : Create maintenance plan for equipment.
4) IA01 : Create equipment task list.
5) IP02 : Assign task list to maintenance plan.
6) IP10 : Schedule maintenance plan.
6) IP30 : Deadline monitoring of maintenance plan.
7) IP24 : Viewing schedule for calibration with order released.
8) QE71 / QE53 : Calibration Result recording and UD.
This is the way i have mapped the calibration process.
Hope this will help you.

Doubts on calibration process

Hi,
I AM DOING CALIBRATION PROCESS FOR THE FIRST TIME. The process i followed is:
IE01:Equipment
IP11: Maintainence Strategy
IA05: Task List
IP42: Maintainence Plan
IP10: Scheduling Of plan
IP30: Job Planning
Above this i have assigned Inspection type 14 to PM order type for calibration.
My doubt is:
1) Is the process that I am following is correct.
2) If yes, then after I schedule the orders by IP10, Do i need to relese the orders manually in IP10 or do the orders are made & released automatically when I execute IP30. Please let me know what is the process.
3) If i reject the MIC in result recording does the order still get the status of TECO as it gets when i accept the UD.
4) Do the maintainence orders get generated automatically after executing IP30 automatically.
PLease respond, I will award points.
Regards
Ashish Khurna

hi
Following is the pre requisite for calibration orders.
Maintain the inspection type 014 in customising (done by QM consultant)
Assign Inspection type 014 to order type PM05 in customising.
Maintaing the following master data:
Create Master inspection charecteristics
Maintain sampling procdedure
Tasklist with inspection point as 300 for equipment
Assign inspection charectersitics to operations
Maintain catalogs for results recording / usage decision
Create Maintenance Plan
Schedule the maintenance plan
Calibration orders would be generated
release and inspection lt will be created
Check through Tcode QA32 and process the inspection lot - results recording, usage decision
Trust this may help you.

Requirement in equipment calibration

Dear All,
I have some requirement in the equipement calibration as given below.
1) Next call date should be less than 1 day for the next call . Means if my cycle time is 1 month, and start of cycle is on 15th then next plan date should be 1 day before, next call should be on 14 of next month and further moving ahead it should be on 13 on the next month and so on. Is it possible in standard SAP or any custom development.
2) Next call date should be based upon the UD date. Means if my cycle time is 1 month, and start of cycle is on 15th. Now in this case if i completed inspection lot processing on 20th then next call should be calculated based upon the UD date and it should be 20th of next month.
How these two scenerio can be handled.
Regards
Amit

Hi Jogeswara,
Thanks for the updates.
Just want to ask you another query that, in case of fixed date scheduling
system will generate the call on fixed date of each month. e. g every 15th day
of each month in case of monthly schedule. But if I started the schedule on
31st then system will generate the next call on 30 of next month and it will
call on 28 in case of Feb month and then it will continue to generate calls on
28th date only. But my business requires to generate call in the
last day of the month.
In this scenario how to handle the situation.
Regards
Amit

Calibration process

Dear Friends,
I am new to SAP PM module. I wish to do calibration process by using measurement document. Hence I created measurement document for the respective equipment with the annual estimate and counter reading. I created the maintenance plan based on counter and schedule it. While scheduling , notification has been created in the background and from that notification I wish to create calibration order. At that time of creation, the information in the notification copied to the order but the information regarding maintenance plan alone has not copiied into the order. Therefore, while releasing the order inspection lot has created in the background but there is no characteristics attached to the lot. So I can't do the result recording for the particular lot.
Can any one solve this issue?
Regards
Karthik

Hi Karthik,
I guess that you have posted the thread in the wrong Forum,
any ways the key to the Calibration Process is the Task List that you have to define in the Maintenance Order,
you need to define the Inspection point in the Task List as 300, then the system will give you another Tab in the Operations as the Master Inspection Characteristics.
there you give in your MIC no.
can you please tell me in detail where you are getting Stuck ?

Yawar Khan

Equipment Calibration

Dear All,
I am implementing equipment calibration in one of our client .
I have one issue. In case of equipment calibration suppose sheduling start date is 17/06/2009 and calibration frequency( cycle time ) is 10 days. Now when i will shedule the maintenace plan today i.e 17/06/2009 for this equipment system is creating maintenace order hence inspection lot today only .
The system is showing shedule date in sheduling overview correctly as 26/06/2009 and inspection date in inspection lot as 26/06/2009.
But
My requirement is that the system should generate order and inspection lot on its due date only that is on 26/06/06 because If i sheduled the background job today for these equipment the system will generate inspection lots today only .
Thanks
Amol

Hi
Your stsrt of cycle is 17/06/2009
Cycle is 10 days
so Lot is cretated for 26/06/2009 as pe cycle.
My requirement is that the system should generate order and inspection lot on its due date only that is on 26/06/06 because If i sheduled the background job today for these equipment the system will generate inspection lots today only .
as this was the first lot which you have created after start of cycle it is showing future date.
But when you through IP30/SM37 then it will only create the lots of due date..Provided that in IP30 you maintain Interval call object 1 day
This will solve your Problem

Tset equipment calibration

Dear All,
How to carry out test equipment calibration without integration of PM module. Its my client's requirement but they don't have PM module implemented. Is there any way to resolve in QM module itself.
Regards,
Manoj

calibration without PM will be very much customized approach as I know
1.You have to define the plant maint order type like PM01 to PM05
2.In the customization you have to assign the origin 14 to the PM05.
3.Also master data like work center ,maint plan or Equipment master.
Also you have to define the basic settings like serial number & number range for this order type.
Then only lot will be created.& RR can be done.
Otherwise you have to customize whole module as Z development as per requirement.

Preventive maintenance and calibration process flow

Calibration process : inspection lot not created

Hello,
When creating a maintenance order (PM05) , i can not get the inspection lot created .
There has been some thread about this process , i believe i followed the instructions :
-equipment category is production ressource/tool
-master inspection characteristics created (released)
-sampling procedure created for PM
-equipment task list created with inspection point at header level , with control key including inspection characteristic , with master inspection characteristic , with sampling procedure
-configuration for inspection type and order type is done
then when creating the order manually (or via a maintenance plan) : the order is created and released but with no inspection lot assigned...
does anyone have an idea where the error might come from?
Thanks again,
Pete

Hi Pete
Weather this is correct or not for your scenario but please check the below spro setting.
Plant Maintenance and Customer Service --> Maintenance and Service Processing --> Functions and Settings for Order Types --> Assign Inspection Types to Maintenance/Service Order Types
click on the symbol
in Change view " Assign Inspection Types to Maintenance/Service Order Types" :Overview screen assign inspection type against plant and order type combination. for PM 14 is inspection type.
please confirm.

Venkat
