System status and configuration tab in equipment master.

Hi,
Will some one expalin following points.
1.Can we add / modify system status in configuration.-if yes path for the same.
2.Is system status linked to user status-if yes path for the same.If no on whhich basic system status is changed .
3.What is use of configuration data tab in equipment master.Is this required for creating work order,notification ,task list etc.Is their any link between equipment master and material master.
Thanks & Regards
Vinay

Vinay,
1. Yes you can add modify system status using transaction BS22. However these are system delivered functionality and its not advisable to change these.
2.Its the other way around. User status can be linked to system status through the configuration for user status.Double lick on the user status definition to reach the system status dependencies editor in transaction OIBS.
3. Equipment master and material master can be linked either through serial number functionality (Material number + serial number = Equipment number) or through the "Construct" field(Structure tab) in the equipment master. The configuration data tab is used to link equipment master to a pre-existing variant of material.

Regarding Equipment master

Hi Experts!
I am SAP MDM consultant and I am working on a rquirement to model the Equipment Master Data in my repository.
SAP MDM only requires master data from Equipment master.
Kindly give me list of master data in Equipment master and give links explaining Equipment creation and maintenance process.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Ravi Verma

I don't think there is a standard program and IDOC , You will have to custom generate all of them.(Custom IDOC type, Custom program to send out IDOC, Use standard Equipment create / change event or standalone program to execute the IDOC generation).

Use of construction type field in Equipment master

Dear All,
What is the use of construction type field in equipment master and how can i use in plant maintenance processes or transactions
If possible give some examples.Also any one have some document or link related to construction type, kindly provide.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep

Construction Type is used for identify the equipments having similar construction of materials.
For examples: Identical Mechanical seal used in different pumps.
A BOM can be linked to a technical object in two ways:
By direct assignment: directly assigned BOM
If you create a bill of material directly for a technical object, it is assigned directly. If all the technical objects are identical in terms of structure, the BOM items are valid for all the allocated technical objects.
By indirect assignment: indirectly assigned BOM
For technical objects that have a material BOM - if you enter a material number in the Construction type field of a master record, the material BOM is indirectly assigned to the object. This is a good idea when a company has several identical technical objects grouped under one material number.

Equipment master ie03 partner getting deleted while doing material return

Hi
We are facing some problem in serial no
1.We are creating equipment master in IE08 and assigning same equipment no as serial no in ie02
Update partner functions in IE02
2.Then we are creating a repair type sales order
3.Do goods receipt using VRRE by assinging serial no
4.While doing goods receipts(653 movement type) in transaction VRRE,the parter function gets deleted in equipment master IE03 for that serial number
5.But at the same time when iam doing post goods issue for the same material after repair and same serial no using vl02n,601 movement type,Partner gets updated.
Is this the normal SAP behaviour.While doing goods return from customer will the partner function get deleted in equipment master and while doing vl02n,goods issue 601 will it update again

Equipment Master Data

Hi,
We are will be starting configuration soon and I have a questions regarding the Equipment master and the link to Functional Location.
There are a number of Plants which may have the same equipment, and would like some control over who can change the master data, in particular the link to Functional Location (IL01/IL02 operations)
Is it possible to restrict access to the 'tabs' on the Equipment master so that only certain individuals can change data. Based on Roles / Authorisation.
Thanks

Hi Andy,
Create all the tabs required through the configuration. Depending on which group requires which tabs to accessed create screen and transaction variants. Assign T-Codes to these programs generated. For instance the Organization tab should not be available for one set of users. Create a screen/transaction variant in which the Organization tab will be hidden. Assign a T-Code for this program as say ZIE02. And give access to this T-Code to those users. They cannot see the organization tab. So they can't maintain entries in it.
T-Code for Screen/Transaction variant: SHD0
This should meet your requirement.
thanks

Equipment master data display of "ship to party"

Hi experts!
I got following problem:
Delivering an equipment to a partner only the "sold-to-partner" number is filled by using the "BAPI_EQUI_CHANGE". The "ship-to-party" field remains grey. Therefore also the asset is updated the the "ship-to-party"-partner.
Changing the equipment manually the "ship-to-party" field is then filled automatically.
I already did the customizing, described in thread Partner Data in Equipment Master and thread Synchronisation between asset and equipment
Many thanks and best regards,
Nikolaus

Dear Pete,
I got the answer
1.In Ih01 Valid date i was taking in past so it was showing the past history of equipment.
2.whenever I m dismantling any functional location it is showing multiple changes at a single time.

FI-AA and the Automatic Creation of Equipment Master Records

Our client is currently on SAP R/3 4.7E and per SAP Notes 176056, 370884, 361520, releases above 4.6B should be able to automatically create an equipment resord master record from within FI-AA. Configuration shows that undaer FI-AA Master Data the integration should be possible, but we have tested and cannot get it to work. No equipment record is ever created.
Has anyone been successful in performing this function?
What are we missing?
Thank You.
Ruthie

Hi,
Simple,
1. Go to AOLK and check which tab layout is assigned to your asset class, to transaction group 'Others'.
2. Go to AOLA select layout you found out at 1st step, then double click on 'Tab Page Titles'.
3. Select tab page Allocations and click on position group on tab pages.
4. Click on new entries and insert 'S0013', save.
after doing this you will be able to find 'equipment' box under allocation.
and regarding asset synchronization..
Asset Accounting --> Master Data --> Automatic Creation of Equipment Master -> Specify Conditions for Synchronization of Master Data
In this step, under the box 'Edit Asset Master Record' mention,
Create Equipment 2 Direct Synchronization after saving
Change Equipment 2 Direct Synchronization after saving
Make sure you do not have any other field 'required' in equipment creation and not assigned to asset field.
After doing this you should be able to get equipment created automatically..

Sayujya

Interface between Legacy and SAP for Equipment Master

Hello
I got a requirement where I need to develop a interface between legacy system and R/3 system for Equipment Master Data update in R/3. I am thinking of getting a Idoc file from Legacy and then update the changes or any new creation of Equipments in R/3. I found a standard BAPI for this BAPI_EQUIPMENT_CREATE/CHANGE. This BAPI use a strcture BAPI_ITOB for data record of IDoc. But I got more data from legacy except what we have in BAPI_ITOB. I got Partner Data, Classification data also for Equipments. I am thinking of copying the BAPI to a Z function module and modify the Idoc structure , message type and all to capture all the data and then do a update in same way as standard transaction IE01(Equipment Create) is doing in Batch Input. Do you think if there is any better way of doing this? I am not used to transaction BAPI . just wondering if we Can use that in someway to include our modification?
Thanks
Harkamal

20,000 is on quite higher side for IDOC.
IBIP help doc says it needs 2 Kbyte for each record, i.e. 40 Mb for 20,000 rec. that should be ok. Since it has structures for Partner & classification data , I don't think u need to modify the BAPI.
Transaction IE01 - Create equipment
Transaction IE02 - Change equipment
Structure - IBIPEQUI Equipment record

2. Now assign this view profile in the following step
Tech Objects>Equipment>Equipment Categories>Maintain Eq Category .Here u can enter this view profile.I assume this step might be missing in ur config

Archiving and deleting of equipment master data in plant maintenance module

Hi,
Can anyone explain me the process to archive and delete the equipment master data in PM module using archiving tools.
I tried doing it thru t-code SARA, would be grateful if anyone can help me with the steps to follow to archive the equipment master data.
Thanks in advance,

Many thanks for your reply,
I tried doing the same in IDES, but unfortunately the archive file is not getting generated when i write it. I have clearly specified in the variant to create an archive file. Can you please explain how does the system generate an archive file. And also in the customizing " Archiving Object-Specific Customizing " techincal settings, i have maintained the production variant and have marked start automatically.
Please advise,

PP work center capacity and link in Equipment master

Dear All
My client has five equipments which he is clubing them into one work center with five capacities. In equipment master i have given for respective equipments i have given PP work center locations but when i create a maint order for one equip then in planning the capacity avalability is affecting the entire work center for ex if the total work on one equip is 12 hrs then only 8 hrs of capcity should be deducted for to day and 4 hrs for tommorow but in plannig all 12 hrs are getting deducted in todays capacity itself.
Pls give some inputs from your experiances
Thanks and Regards
Pankaj

Hi,
Even if we have more than One Equipments in the same work center, PP-PM integration will work.
This is the standard scenario in any Process Industry or in case of an Assembly line of a Automobile manufacturing industry.
So it should work. Please check the following points again,
1. Assignment of Work Center to Equipment Master
2. System Condition - '0' Not in Operation in Both header as well as against Individual Operations (in Work Order for that Equipment)
3. Work Order has been released.
4. Same Work Center is used in Routing and the same is Planned for a period.
If we have all the above points right, then while dispatching the Production Order system should show the Period of block and should shift/plan the PO accordingly.

Sam
