Hi expert,
Can anyone explain about ABC indicator functionality in PM equipment master data
Thanks
Rgds,

Hi Michael,
As per Application help, ABC indicator signifies:
An indicator that is assigned by the procedure of ABC analysis.
The following ABC indicators are possible:
A - Important
B - Less important
C - Relatively unimportant
According to these criteria, "A" materials are those materials that are of greatest importance for the production operations of a company.
Examples of use for ABC indicators are vendor master records, material master records, and master records of technical objects.
You can customize the values in ABC indicator as per your requirement.

Hi,
you can add new tab on the screen and provide your custom field on that tab. You have to add a new tab for any Technical Object by doing some configuration changes in SPRO. first go to SPRO and in screen sequences add a new tab sequence against the profile. Now in the function group SAPLXTOB you can see this new tab screen. Do your requirements on this screen.
Reward if useful and get back to me if you need any help.

Warranty Date field in the equipment master data

Hi everyone!
I wanted to display the warranty date field in the equipment master data (IE01). I have already made the configuration and added the additional tab and screen thru this path:
Plant Maintenance and Customer Service > Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service > Technical Objects > General Data > Set View Profile for Technical Objects
But still, the tab is not added and the warranty date field is not found in the "Define Field Selection for the Equipment Master Record". please help me with this. We need this data because we are not using serial numbering and warranty master data that's why a way to track the warranty date is thru this adjustment in the equipment master data screen.
Thank you very much.

Marlon,
Make sure that you have assigned this specific profile to the Equipment category of the associated equipment that you are creating under SPRO > PM> Master data> tech object > Equipment > Equip category.

Live Equipment Master Data

Dear All,
Can you explain me how to maintain the live equipment master data.If i am right it is maintain by putting two main field technical identification & serial no. I want to know which one is better out of two.
AR

See Amit rana
When you do the serialization for Motor, you can create the equipment master for that motor when you make the GR for that motor against PO & The status of the equipment will be ESTO. Hence further when ever you make any goods movememnt against that material number system will always ask you the serial number & history will get updated against serial number as well as equipment master.
Following activities will be possible for serial number & equipment number.
1. Transfer of material (Equipment + serial number) from plant to plant (Here you can triger equipment master update when this transfer is taking place. Like maintenance plant change).
2. Transfer of equipment from one functional location to another functional location
3. Trasfer of the equipment from store to functional location & functional location to store.
You can update the master records of equipmant as per your requirement with help of User exist & BAPIs by taking help of ABAP person.
I hope this will answer your Query.

Migration of Equipment Master Data together with PRT data

Hello Experts,
we need to migrate Equipment Master Data which have activated the view PRT data. Most of the fields in this view are stored in table CRFH. Is there a way to migrate Equipment Master Data together with the PRT data of the Equipment? All the BAPI's I found do not have an import structure for those fields. Is a batch-input the only way?
Does anybody know a mass change transaction for Equipments?
Thank you and Regards
Christian

Hi Krishna,
You can use the standard batch input program RFBIDE00 in LSMW to update the customer master data. However, there might be scenarios where you might be required to update the fields which do not get updated by the standard bacth input program. If any of such fields are defined as mandatory, then you wont be able to use this method directly.
In such cases you will have to either create a recording to poplate the fields which do not get updated by the standard program and use both the recording and the standard batch input program to update the customer master data OR create a recording for customer master create and use the same in LSMW.
Best regards,
Harsh

hi
i think you can have one Tech ID for one equipment which will be useful for tracking ,if you want one equipment with different Tech ID then you can use the method i specified earlier.
in the usage list you can find the Tech ID validity from and to ,from which you can trace.and you can create an querry for table display of EQUZ where user can specify the Tech ID and get the output for equipment no

Equipment master data : address in "Location" tab

Hi experts,
Can someone tell me what the "address" data (in equipment master data, "Location" tab) are for?
What is an example of business case which will use that "address"?
Thanks,
P.

Hi,
It is the same address data that is available on equipment header (Ctrl+F5). It could be the address of where the equipment is located or where it operates. Alternatively it might be the contact details for the equipment owner or maintenance company.
It is similar to maintaining partners but you can use it as suits the business requirements.

Maintenance & operation costcentre in equipment master data

We are going to create some equipment related to equipment categories Mechanical (M) & Electrical (E)(Both categories are related to maintenance equipments. And we have two cost centre one for Maintenance (12900 ) & second for operation (12901 ).Kindly suggest me out of these two which one should be default cost centre in equipment master data.
AR

Hi
you are booking all your expences on the asset correct i.e on equipment
equipment is run by operations
so the master Data should contain only operation cost enter
As per as budgeting is concern
you should give yearly budgeting to Operations
based on their total expenses is nothing but operation Budget +Maint budget
so the workcenter which you are using that activity type is calacultaed based on cost in Kp26

Equipment Master data changing automatically

Dear All,
this is weird but our SAP system is changing equipment's master data once it is created.
we have blocked all the possible chances of using T code "IE02-EQUIPMENT MASTER DATA CHANGE" at user end.
we are finding it very difficult to track because every time the equipment's action log displays new SAP ID's . we have checked with same ID but any where it is not possible for that user to have an authorization for IE02
it mainly changes the master data such as description/Manufacturer/Model number etc into some weird information. and this is happening at any time where in some cases it has been found that at 3:00 am or 4:00 am. we had also checked any background job is running at same timing but we couldn't found out any such case and this is happening without any prior notice so it is difficult for us also to monitor the same
if you have gone through same experience please share with us.
thanks
kiran

Kiran,
I fee that you must investigate through table CDHDR. Run Tcode SE16 --> Give value CDHDR --> Enter.
Here input values as under ( OBJECTCLAS, OBJECTID, USERNAME) and Execute.
In the output, you observe the values of fields TCODE, UDATE. You will come to know whether these changes are happening through IE02 or some other Tcode.
Also you should try without giving the USERNAME also. In this case you will get the lines of both normal changes and surprise change also in the output, where you are likely to find out what is happening.
In a similar way, you can investigate through table CDPOS also.

Dear PM Experts,
I m facing a problem regarding equipments Master data display.
When I used t-code ih01 after getting the list of technical object when I click any of the technical object, in equipment master data structure tab I can see the functional location and superior equipment
But when I m seeing the same equipment No. through IE03 I m not able to see the functional location or superior equipment in structure tab.
One more difficulty hw to see the changes history effectively because when I see the changes history Extra---- Display Changes.there are no. of entry at a single time for example at 15:10:05 ( 15 hrs 10 min. & 05 sec ) there are ten changes in old value H & New value D . What it means please explain.
RC

One PSA request is loaded many time into master data object

Hi All,
We are loading attribute master data into an infoobject. There is one PSA request. But the DTP is loading multiple data requests for each data packet. Usually all data packets loads in a single request but today it created each data packet into a request and created almost 72 requests. Usually we have 2 datapackets in one request.Can any body help me with the reason?
Thanks for your response.
Regards,
Baladitya

Hi,
It sounds like the DTP settings for your master data loading has changed. Please check if in the DTP settings the "Get All New Data Request by Request" indicator has been set along with the "Retrieve Until No More New Data" indicator. If so, it explains the behaviour that you are reporting.
Hope this helps.

Machines, machine groups
Production lines
Assembly work centers
Employees, groups of employees
Use
Together with bills of material and routings, work centers belong to the most important master data in the R/3 production planning and control system. Work centers are used in task list operations and work orders. Task lists are for example routings, maintenance task lists, inspection plans and standard networks. Work orders are created for production, quality assurance, plant maintenance and for the Project System as networks.
Data in work centers is used for
Scheduling
Operating times and formulas are entered in the work center, so that the duration of an operation can be calculated.
Costing
Formulas are entered in the work center, so that the costs of an operation can be calculated. A work center is also assigned to a cost center.
Capacity planning
The available capacity and formulas for calculating capacity requirements are entered in the work center.
