Equipments to be calibrated

Dear Experts,
My client wants its equipment to be calibrated in house. In equipment we have tab (specification) under which range and other parameter to be captured is configured through class. Now I have created order for that particular equipment. I want to know, how to process that order, so that calibration report which is a Z-Report will get updated.
Regards,
Rajesh.

Hi,
Do the below steps :
1. In Config assign instepction type 14 to particular order type.
2. You need to create task list IA05 or IA09 etc and need to assign inspection points , should be 300 for eqpts .
3. Use this tasklist in the calibration order and this fills the tasklist data in MO .
4. After saving and releasing the MO inspection lot gets generated ,click that and get that lot no..
5.Do results recording in QE51N for the InspecLot,
6.Do usage decision in QA11.
7. Then Confirm the order in IW41,TECO in IW32, Settlement in KO88, CLSD in IW32 .

Calibration Reports

Hi Expert,
I am new in QM Module. Let me know about Calibration report.
My user requirement is - In Calibration report the system should show calibration due date.
Is any standard reports available in SAP? or I have to develop new report. If develop then what are the tables & fields needed to it. Please gives me Expert suggestion.

HI Rahul
Calibration Process covers PM & QM functionality. Following are the steps
1. create equipments as test equipments which require calibration (IE01)
2. Create any type of task list (equipment/general) (IA01/IA05) with inspection point(3000assigned to it in task list header
3. create maint plan(calibration plan) using IP01 for the test equipment where you need to mention schdulng parameters & frequency of calibration.
schedule the plan in IP10/ip30 - order will be generated based on the frequency & last calibration date i.e
if frequency is 1YR & last calibration date is 01.01.2011 then order with basic start date -01.01.2012 will be generated for calibration of that equipment.
You release the order & inspection lot will get generated.
Record result in QE11/qa32/qe51n and Usage decision in QA32/qa11
For report of calibration list with due date you will get it in IW38/39
where list of order & equipments with basic start date (calibration due) you will get
or
IP24 - you will get the list of calls with equipment/maint(calibration) plan

Blocking the Instrument in use during calibration

Hi Masters
Is there any possibility to block the instrument in use which is under calibration in SAP?
-Mohan

Hi
Do you means the Inspection lot is generated for a Equipment which is under calibration ,then there is no std SAP function which will block equipment automatically after you take UD of the calibration lot.
But
You can always go to IE02->equipment>functions-->either Deactivate the Equipment or put deletion flag.
Also you can create User status for Equipments like
CALB Calibrated
UNRP Under rapaire
NIU Not in Use
etc
SO that equipment will not be scheduled again.
I hope this will add some value.

There are total 8-9 main process for plant which you can map for in SAP Pm Module. The process are as follows.
1. Managing Plant Maintenance Organization - This is one time activity & have been completed at the time of implementation of PM Module.
2. Structuring Of technical System of your companey :- This includes to building the structure of your plants(Factory) in SAP with the help of Master data like Equipments, Functional location, BOMs, Serial Numbers, Materials, Installed base.
3. Preventive Maintenance Process: - With this you can Plan all your maintenance activities in your plans.
4. Breakdown Maintenance Process: Using this process you can manage the coming breakdowns in your factories.
5. Corrective Maintenance Process : Using this you can manage all your Planned / unplanned activities in your factories.
6. Spares Parts Management & Inventory control process: - Procurement Spares can be managed using this process
7. Refurbishment of Spares parts : Using this process you can manage Reparing of spares internally as well as Externally.
8. Test Equipment Management : Using this you can manage the calibration process for your Equipments which requires calibration.
9. Project in Plant Maintenance : You can manage the New Development project using this process.
I think this satisfy your question. If further you have any query let me know.

Rejection in Usage Decision of an inspection Lot

Dear Masters,
I want to know that is there any standard method to trigger the notification for rejection of an inspection lot?
Please do explain. Thanks in advance.
Chin2

Dear Pushpa,
Once again thanks for your reply. In the case mentioned above I can only define one notification type, what if I have more than one notification type to be used on rejection in usage decision? I will explain my scenario as below:
I have 3 different quality notification types i.e, 1) Engineering Calibration notification (For Engineering Equipments)
2) Quality Calibration Notification (For Quality Equipments)
3) Fleet & Trade Calibration Notification (For Fleet & Trade Equipments)
Now, I have 3 different types of orders from which the inspection lot will be created and for those 3 different types of orders I want 3 different types of notifications to be generated on rejection of the inspection lot.
Please do guide if there is any standard method to achieve this
Thanks once again.

TPM, Predictive Maintenance and calibration of test equipments.

hi experts,
can anyone explain me TPM, Predictive Maintenance and calibration of test equipments. Please clear my these concepts with domain knowledge.
Thanks

TPM: Is Total productive maintenance. It is a standard tool used in different industries. TPM has many parts like preventive maintenance, preditive maintenance , 5S etc. The basic purpose of TPM is to increase the production and decrease the breakdown using 5S, preventive and predictive maintenaace and many other ty6pes of maintenence strategies like Root cause analysis, six sigma. so TPM is a broad term under which all the maintenance strategies, six sigma, 5S etc lies. To get knowledge about TPM here in SDN is not possible. Please follow this lik.
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_productive_maintenance|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_productive_maintenance]
Predictive maintenance: it is the third step after the breakdown maintenace and preventive maintenance.
The flow is as follows:
Breakdown maintenance--Preventive maintenance--
predictive maintenace.
TPM is used to move from breakdown maintenace to preventive maintenance and then tyo predictive maintenance.
Predictive maintenance is to predict the effect of any internal or external factor on machine or equipment and to take precautionary measure before that effect cause any effect on the machine. So to avoid the breakdown maintenance which result in close of plant and zero production , predictive maintenance is the best tool. But it is very hard to implemnt in practical maintenance scnerios.
Calibration of test equipments: There are certain equipments in industries which need to be clibrated after a fixed time like 6 months , 2 years etc. Such type of equipment are temperature transmitters, sensors, pressure transmitter and sensor, Flow, level, moisture etc. Claibration is to set the instrument against a standard range which we get from master calibration instrument. these are called test equipments. In SAP PM and QM we have to map that [process of calibration.
Take a example: i have a temperature transmitter which i am using in milk industry for measuring the temperature of the milk. so When the temperature of milk is 50 degree celusis, the instrument must give me the output reading of 50 degree celseis. But after some time say 6 months the range and span and calibration of instrument get changed. So we need to calibrate it again to get the accurate reading. So we calibrate the indtrument with a standard transmitter.

Calibration of measuring equipments

Hi, How to maintain the calibration data in SAP using QM Module?Pls mention the t-codes related?

Hi,
Please follow the following prcoess flow
You can create a maintenance strategy(IP11) for the calibration of equipment mean to say in what frequency calibaration is carried out either monthly,weekly or yearly.
Assign this strategy to the task list.after that follow the process steps as explained.
Once scheduling is carried out in IP10,according to the strategy maintained in task list,system will generate maintenance calls.for example if calibration is carried out monthly and scheduling is done for the period of 12 months,system will generate 12 maintenance calls.once first call is finished do deadline monitoring(iw38),system will automatically created maintenance order for the second call.
Calibration flow almost follows the preventive maintenance cycle except inspection point is assigned in task list.
Process flow(assuming test equipment and master data created)
IA05- Create General Task list(Enter inspection point :300,operation,inspection charactertics to the operation,usage)
IP01-Create maintenance plan( Use maintenace startegy of plant,enter equipment, select general task list for plan the equipment,enter call horizon,planning cycle schduling period)
IP10-Schedule the plan Schedule the plan for the quantity with frequency defined in the plan.Which schdule the according to the schdule date.Schedule date generates pm order for the plan on due date.
IW33-Display order.
QE51-Calibration result recording for equipment- Gives status for result i.e ok or not ok.
QA11-Lot usage decision
IW41-Confirmation for the order.
Hope it helps

Queries related to calibration inspection process

I have some queries related to calibration business process.They are as follows:-
1.Which equipment category do we choose, Q or P?
2.While creating a maintenance plan,which category do we choose, maintenance order or quality maintenance order?
3.Is it that we can't do a time confirmation before results recording?If I try to do so,I get this message"No open operation recieving confirmation entries for order".
4.While I create my maintenance plan,I get this message, a counter could not be defined for the reference object.Why so?
5.After usage decision,if I lock my equipment for further use,the equipment has the status both AVLB and NPRT.Why?
6.Can I create my calibration order manually and assign equipment task list.If so,how?
7.While creating my test equipment,for the PRT tab,the task list usage becomes a mandatory field.What setting is done for this task list usage to become a mandatory field?
Edited by: Pallavi Kakoti on Feb 2, 2012 8:19 AM

Hi
1.Which equipment category do we choose, Q or P?
Ans:
Q is normaly used for Instruments,Lab equipments
P also used for Production/process related equipments needs calibrations often
2.While creating a maintenance plan,which category do we choose, maintenance order or quality maintenance order?
Ans:
Its all depends on config you have did. if Quality maintenance order should be linked to inspection type.can be used.
we can not used maintenance order if it is not linked to inspection type 14.
3.Is it that we can't do a time confirmation before results recording?If I try to do so,I get this message"No open operation recieving confirmation entries for order".
Ans:
You can do time confirmation after result recording, then UD.after UD ,order will be TECOed automaticlay.
4.While I create my maintenance plan,I get this message, a counter could not be defined for the reference object.Why so?
Ans:
Check any measuring counters created for the equipments,
5.After usage decision,if I lock my equipment for further use,the equipment has the status both AVLB and NPRT.Why?
Ans:
After UD, system changes the status NPRT for the equipments have PRT view only.
if PRT view maintained in the equipment, system status remains AVLB.
If you dont to use the equipment after UD-Reject,have to go development using user status.
6.Can I create my calibration order manually and assign equipment task list.If so,how?
Ans:
Yes. you can
Create task list with 300 inspection point, assign when u create order
also you can have manual call in the maintenance plans.

Background Scheduling of Calibration Order

Dear Experts,
I want to scheule my calibration order in QM for calibration of Test Equipment in background.
I have created my maintenance order for calibration of Gauges / Instruments (which are defined as Equipments). The dates for the calibration have been calculated based on time. When I go to the transaction of scheduling the order & save, the inspection lot for calibration is generated & the equipment task list is assigned to the lot.
I want this to automatically happen in background. This is because I have thousands of equipments, for which I can not schedule the calibration manually.

Prashant

hi
you can use the IP30 deadline monioting for this purpose,ask your abaper to run the T code in frequent ( Weekly,Fortnight and etc)

Hello,
Please follow below steps for Internal calibration process.
1) Create equipment through Tcode IE01
2) Create task list through IA01 or IA05 and maintain frequency of calibration (Package) and maintain the char(as Instru value) for the task list along with sampling procedure & Inspection point of sampling mgt.
3) Assign this task list to Equipment in Maintenance plan(IP01).
4) Create Maintainance plan through IP42
5) Schedule it through IP10
6) You can use IP30 for Deadline monitoing functionality for auto creation.
You can refer below link on the steps in details :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/f4/e0e869af9911d29a250000e8a529f3/content.htm
Please follow below steps for for external calibration
For external calibration do following steps :

Preventive maintenance for equipments installed in plant area

Dear experts,
I want to implement Preventive maintenance for equipments installed in plant area.
Requirement is that i should be able to create a maintenance plan & schedul it as per the due dates. Maintenance order should get created. This order can be linked to the service contract item for which service entry sheet is created & released.
I want a control on service entry sheet creation if the order is not settled or the related inspection lot which is generated is not confirmed.
Please give advice ,how to proceed.
Regards
Vivek Deshpande

Hi Vivek,
Not sure on clearly what u need .. but have a look at some of the plans and examples of their usage for better idea ..
1. Types : Time Based or Performance Based
2. Single Cycle Plan [Time Based] : Ex u2013 Maintenance of a Vehicle every 03 months
3.Single Cycle Plan [Performance Based] :Ex- Maintenance of a Vehicle every                                1000KM .
4.Strategy Cycle Plan [Time Based] : Ex- Maintenance of a Vehicle every 03                                            months, 06 months etc.
5.Strategy Cycle Plan [Performance Based Plans] : Ex u2013Maintenance of Vehicle                                                                          every 1000km , 2000km etc.
6.Multiple Cycle Plan with single cycle set [Time or Performance Based] : Ex u2013                                                    Maintenance of a vehicle every 3months or                                  500km
7.Multiple Cycle Plan with Multiple Cycle Sets [Time of Performance Based] : Ex- Maintenance of a Vehicle every 3months or 500km and 6months or 1000km
8. The above given are explained with callobject as Maintenance Order. For getting inspection Lot then you can use order type PM05 calibration order in your Maintenance Plan and MO gets created as per the plan cycle and inspection lot gets created once u release the MO ..
9. If you want MP related to service items then create MP with service procurement as Maintenance plan category in IP41 .. for remaining you can put MO as Maintenance plan category .. for details refer to SAP Help ..
