Equipment Numbers

Hi All,
i have assigned the standard serial profile "0001" in a material and performed one full cycle from MM to SD.In "OBJK" table system is showing the equipment numbers, but when i cheked in IE03 the system is showing error message "Serial number XXXXXXXXXX" is not defined. I want to have this equipment number to be created automativcally.
Anyone, can explain what is this Equipment number??
Please revert back.
Sure points will be awarded.

hi
when you assign the serial number profile against the material
when you do the transaction the system generate the "equipment" for each serial number internally.

Equipment numbering (internal)

Dear Gurus;
I have used internal number range for equipments. While uploading the equipment master data it was found that the equipment creation started from 1000000022 instead of 1000000001.
Why it would have happened, as there were no equipments created in the system in that particular category. Also it was confirmed that the 'current number was 0' before upload.
What precaution I should take, so that it does not happen again? Also if I want to remove the created equipments in the system, what's the procedure of this?
Points assured.
Thanks & Regards
Hemant

Annual Maintenance Contract for Equipment Pieces in SAP

Hi All,
I am aware of the standard SAP function of Service Procurement.
However my requirement is as follows:-
1.I want to create a 'F' Account Assigned service Purchase order (Annual Maintenance Contract) with a option in the PO screen to enter equipment numbers.On saving the PO,dynamically a Maintenance order should get created with the equipment pieces in the object List.
2.The P.O number of AMC should get dynamically populated in the equipment master view for the equipment pieces mentioned in the AMC.
3.During Notification or Maintenance order creation,I want to use the OIK(Object Information Key) or any other pop-up screen for information regarding the AMC PO Number with validity period.
4.During Service entry preparation want to put the equipment number,for which AMC activity has been performed.
5.Finally want to generate a report to display the equipment pieces for which AMC activity got missed.
Request all to provide a solution for this as all maintenance services have been hired for my equipment pieces and I want to utilize all the standard SAP reports.
Thanks and Regards,
Sujoy

Dear Sujoy,
If you exactly require the same way what you have written, it would be a product development and not recomended.
Follow the cycle described below.
1. Create a Contract with F & D (Services & Assigned to Maint Order).
2. Create all required Equipment.
3. Create Equipment Task List with External Operation Control Key and assign the Contract Number for each Opeartion. (Service values from contract will not be updated Automatically, either update manually or do a development for this part).
4. Create Maintenance Plans an dinclude the Task Lists.
5. Orders are generated with PR's with reference to Contract.
6. Let them release monthly or fortnightly PO's.
7. On Submission of Service report, create SES and release.
In this way you will have complete Maintenance History with cost & control.
Hope this might be useful to you.

External number range in equipment

Hello!
I want to create a number range in equipment which contains letters, numbers, symbols.
For example equipment numbers like:
A125D-6
1-DSDV
tHANK YOU!

Hi, if you pres F1 help in OEIN it is written:
"External intervals can only contain either letters or numbers, as sorting can differ between platforms (Code page):
Allowed: 000001 to 999999
AAAAAA to ZZZZZZ
Not allowed: AAAAAA to 999999
So it looks like either leters or numbers but not both.
However you can ask also in Plant Maintenance forum

In which table of CRM the Serial number and Equipment information stores.

Hi Experts
Recently I have downloaded all the serial numbers and Equipment numbers from backend system by doing the initial download of the object SERIALNUMBER and EQUIPMENT.
I can see the BDOC monitor in which all BDOC are in green ststus and R3AM1 the object ststus is also green.
My problem is I am unable to find the downloaded information in CRM system.Can anyone help me in finding out where can I get these information.
Thanks
Subhabrata

Hi Subhabrata
If I understand correctly your Serial number is not linked to any equipment which can be opened using IE03.
"Serial number download functionality allows you to replicate pure serial numbers (serial numbers that are not associated with equipment) along with their associated business partners and configuration from SAP ECC to SAP CRM as objects."
See this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/EN/ad/bc673f19299d51e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
In that case you should not download object EQUIPMENT. You just need to download object SERIALNUMBER. Check the number of entries in table COMM_PRODUCT before and after download. Search for Equipment number in field PRODUCT_ID. Check table COM_TA_R3_ID with the product guid from previous search.
I hope it helps

Need Serial Numbers frm Database

Hi all,
How to take dump for serial numbers in stocks for a given material group from the SAP database. I have tried using table "EQUI" but here I could not get the details as required by me though plant and storage are available in table "EQUI".Then I tried getting it from table "EQBS" here in input selection screen since there is no option for Material number I have to give Equipment number.In our case every single serial number has unique equipment number.So one material code has N serial numbers and N equipment numbers maintained in stocks.
To summarize in simple way
My requirement is to get all the serial numbers available against each material code in a given material group which are in stocks through tables.

Maverick

Pass the Material document into MSEG table and fetch the EQUNR Field
Better pass the document year also as the input along with the Document number

Serial Number without generation of new equipment number.

Hi,
I am in REM scenario. A inhouse produced HALB is to be assigned a serial number with no corresponding equipment number generated. That is the HALB should be uniquely identifiable as the combination of MATNR & Serial No.
Created a Serial No Profile and assigned to Mat Master and am able to get the Serial Numbers ( But new equipment numbers are getting generated).
How to go about doing the Config for this.
Regards
M V N Sudhakar

Hello BGS,
Always an equipment record is created. This may be invisable to the user or made visable if required.
There are a few threads on that subject in this forum.
This thread is quite old (from 2006), It would be preferable to open a new thread rather than add on to an existing one, especially one that is so old. For that reason I am going to lock this thread. If you still need advise on this issue then open a new thread and outline your particular situation.

External Number Range setting for Equipment Not working

As per the Requirement I have assigned A00000000000 - ZZZZZZZZZZZZ to an equipment category through OIEN.
but I am getting the error message in the IE01 screen whenever I try to create an equiment with some external number for this category.
Equipment category does not allow alphanumeric equipment number
Can some one help whether anyother settings are needed.
(It is to be noted that system gives correct error message if I try to create equipment without giving external number - No internal number range defined for equipment category)
Regards
Jogeswara Rao

Hi Jogeswara Rao,
Check you other post for reply
Plant Maintenance & Customer Service->Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service->Technical Objects->Equipment->Equipment Categories >>>> Maintain Equiment Category >>>> select your category and check whether you have ticked "No Alphanumeric Equipment Numbers" or not.

Alphnumeric External Number range for Equipment category

Hi,
Is there any other option that I can restrict length of external alpha numeric number range except that exit IEQM0003? This exit only applicable or restrict when you save the equipment.
Requirement is like external number range should be like AAA-000 to ZZZ-999. System must not allowed any other equipment number which is out of this range. ( must be 7 character)
As far as my understanding , system use string comparison once you use alphanumeric number range and you can create equipment with 18 char length except special character if above range is maintained.
Please correct me if i am wrong and suggest.
Thanks
Anish Ahya

Hi Zenith,
Its not available in Standard SAP, please use the user exit and tell the ABAPER to check the Equipment numbering (count) before entering into Creation screen. In IE01,entering equipment Number, Category and date after completion of this activity when we enter continue icon there u can put a condition to check the length of equipment number. I implemented that user exit and i got the result. its working fine. User Exit: IEQM0003.

Replicating Characteristic Values of a Material to Equipment

Hi,
We are creating a Material Master with Classification View. In this view, we have assigned a Class (Class Type 001) with several Characteristics. Characteristic Values are also assigned to each of these Characteristics.
We are also creating Equipment Master for the above Material at the time of GR. This Equipment Master has a Class of Class Type 002. But this Class has some Characteristics that are common with the Material Master. The Characteristic Values are also the same.
Is it possible to automatically populate the Characteristic Values from the Material Master to the Equipment Master for the common ones ?
(Requirement is to search for Equipment Numbers based on Characteristic Values in the corresponding Material Master. In IH08, we are unable to do this. So is it appropriate to think of assigning the same characteristics in the Equipment Master and assign those characteristic Values? We feel that it is amounting to duplication and prone to mismatch.)
Request suggestions please.
Regards,
Raj

Pete,
The values have to be copied when an Equipment Master is created at the time of GR and you are right ... we cannot allow modification of the characteristic values in the Equipment Master independent of the Material Master !! Both has to be in synch for those common characteristics.
I will also check with our ABAP team to explore enhancement spots in IH08.
In our case, both the material serial number and the equipment number are kept synchronous. Is there anyway where we can search Serial Numbers based on the Characteristic Values in the corresponding Material Master?
Thanks for your inputs.
Regards,
Raj

If you're talking about serial numbers, you can use any material type for that. Just maintain a serial number profile in the sales view.

Can Equipment No same for 2 Equip in different Plants of same company code?

Hi Gurus,
            Please tell me if there is any possibility of having same Equipment No for 2 Equipments in Different Plants.
            The 2 plants are in the Same Company code.
            e.g. Equip           Plant                Company Code
               1) Equip_DIE    Plant1              A
               2) Equip_DIE    Plant2              A
           If it is possible how the Equipment histroy and Breakdown history is updated in the PMIS.
           Also tell me the advantages and Disadvantages of keeping same Equipment no for 2 diiferernt Equipments or otherwise keeping different equipment no.
With best regards,
Narendra Dere

Hi Pete ,
          Thanks for your valuable reply.
          Actually I am doing implementation for 5 plants within same Company Code.
          They are geographically distant (say 50km from each Other.)
          The Finish Product is same but the method is different.
          They have already assigned some Equipment Numbers in the Plant for Regular Maintenance Activities.
          Since Planning and Maintenance can be done at the different Plant and team of the MAintenance is different, they dont hv anyproblem if equipment number is same. Otherway they wll have the added advantage that they can continue with there own Equipment no which can be same in differnt Plant.
       e.g 800TONPRESS - Plant1
            800TONPRESS - Plant 2.
   With best regards,
   Narendra Dere

Quality Management During Goods Receipt (Inspection Lot)

Hi all,
>>>>>>>>>>>>
REQUIREMENT
<<<<<<<<<<<<
I have a requirement that i need to write an interface program which will receive a file from external agency (manufacturer) and process goods receipt until inspection results. The following steps need to be taken care of;
1) Create a equipment (Utilities - It is an unique identifier for each unit of the material).
2) Do Goods Receipt for the PO with the equipment numbers created.
3) Create Inspection Lot for the material document created during the GR for each equipment number.
4) Execute Inspection Result.

Inspection Lot Settings to create lots during MIGO
1) New Inspection Type Created as SG1 at SPRO->QM->Quality Inspection->Inspection Lot Creation->Maintain Inspection types. The maintenance is a copy of type 01.
2) Assign Inspection Type to Lot Origin at SPRO->QM->Quality Inspection->Inspection Lot Creation->Maintain Inspection Lot Origins and Assign Inspection Types. SG1 is maintained against lot origin 01 with variant 01.
3) Set Default values for SG1 at SPRO->QM->Quality Inspection->Inspection Lot Creation->Define Default Values for Inspection Type with parameters same as for 01.

Work Center Integration PM-PP

I have 3 similar Production Machines. I will load any or all of them according to the requirement or acc. to which machine is free.
so PP person says, he has to assign only one Work Center to all the three machines as he can not assign more than one Work center for a single Operation in Routing.
But in PM, 3 machines will have 3 different Equipment numbers with common Production Work Center (Work Center at Location tab page)
If I block any one of the machines for Maintenance, that work Center will get blocked. But physically remaining two machines are free. But PP person can not dispatch the Order as work center is blocked.
Plz guide how to proceed

hi,
SAM,
For 3 production machines PP Persone should create 3 pp workcenters......,
as far as my knowledge is concern in standard SAP this is not possible.....
although Capacity spiliting option is available in PP workcenter.
but that dosn't solve our proble..
if u set system condition - not in operation for a equipment
.. this will capture whole PP work center..... rather than perticular equipment.
Try to conyence them for 3 pp workcenter.
regards,
Amit kushwaha
