Maintenance order cost control through Permit

Hi
I want to know whether Maintenance order release approval on the basis of planned cost can be done on the basis of issuing Permits. May I please be guided with the process for this?
Thanks

Hi,
This topic has been discussed many times in this FORUM , u can search up
check this link http://www.sap-img.com/plant/complete-help-to-implement-maintenance-cost-approval.htm
Link 2 :- http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=132912
Link 3 :- http://aq33.com/quality-management/Articles-000534.html
If u want to have more level of permits based on planned costs then u you need to create Charac in CT04 , assign that in class
This class you need to give in IPMD while creating permits -under classification -> Here u need to mention the characteristic , In the characteristic - u need to mention the range , if u mention range as 0- 2500

Maintenance order cost

Hi Experts,
In Maintenance order can you assign different cost centers to different operations to seperate the cost of each operartion? How (What we have to do in SPRO for that)?
-MD

Hi Patel,
What you can do is,
Create a main order and give the title what is your maintenance activity, w.r.t main order create sub-orders using the main order, now what we can do is in sub order we do the maintenance activity and then capture the actual cost, now we can either settle the maintenance cost to cost center or either to the main order depending upon the requirement we have, now you can run a standard report to view the heirarcy of main order and sub order to view the actual cost on that and you also have a link that for this main order you have done certain specific activities for different cost centers.

Maintenance Order creation control

Is there a way to control that a Maintenance Order could be created only if the notification is already put in progress? Not if the notification is on status u201COutstanding notificationu201D.
Iu2019ve tried to do it by security access but didnu2019t get the way to do it either, I need to know if itu2019s possible by customization.
Thanks.

Dear all,
You can do this by using User Status attached to Order. Create User Staus , with Object Type ticking Maintenance Order & Maint Notification you get all buisness transcition , in that select " PUT NOTIFICATION IN PROCESS AGAIN " and select "SET" Radio button ,
So whenever you create the Order from Notification , Even if notification is in "CRTE" Status , Notifcation gets released while saving Order.
This is similar to ur Requirement ,
Check for Other Notification Parameter also.

Cost difference between PM report MCI8 and IW38 orders cost

Hi Experts!
I have an issue of cost difference between Plant Maintenance total actual cost of orders and Cost analysis report.
Short Text
Cost difference between PM report MCI8 and IW38 orders cost
Long Text
Applied SAP notes 180047 and 112841 for the following error:
Cost is not displaying in MCI8 for every 3 months intervals.
Now this problem has been resolved but got an another error like cost
difference between MCI8 report and IW38 order costs.
Note applied method:-
1). Configured FYV as Z1 with Period update for info structures S61 to
S65, S70, S114 to S116.
2). Regenerate order cost in Tcode OLI5.
3). PMIS: Statistical setup of info structures T.Code u2013 OLPM
For Info Structures which is changed in the configuration SO61-SO65,
SO70, S114-S116.
4). Copy info structures Version &( to Active version 000 T.Code u2013 OLIX,
Select Copy version
For all info Structure SO61-SO65, SO70, S114-S116.
*Steps for Reconstruction*
New another error like cost difference between MCI8 report and IW38
order costs.
Step 1. Transaction- MCI8, Order type - CORR, Period -01.2009 to
12.2009 and execute
Step 2. Drilldown the corrective maintenance order costs into period
wise.
Step 3. Transaction- IW38, Order type Corr, Period -01.2009 to 12.2009,
Currency - EUR and execute
Cost differences: E.g. Example A)
                               MCI8                                 IW38
Total costs             8.041,69                           5.544,99
of WOs               18                                     18
So far my view is that, regardless of the selection criteria or the
output layout, predominantly the costs are different.
I would expect that they are equal. And what the right result are,..u2026Iu2019m
not sure.
Regards,
Santhamoorthy

Hello,
Sometimes this difference comes because of the selection period which we are choosing.
Try to run IW38 once with the help of Basic start and basic finish dates of the order.
And after that with the help of the period with the same dates range.
You will get the difference also.
the reason is that whenever any Posting is done in the previous month PM order the system changes the basic start date and when you select the current period and execute IW38 it shows the whole cost incurred on the order including all previous cost.
But in MCI8 it does not happen because MCI8 is run through LIS structures. And in this report only the current month cost will be shown by the system.
I hope you got the idea about differences.

Hi,
Maintain Value categories according to that. Take the assistance of controlling area 1000.
Check how value categories have been defined.
Do the config in Setting & Display of Costs under PM & CS.

Query related to Service Entry Sheet for maintenance order

Dear Gurus,
I am little bit confusing while entering SES for maintenance order,
Do we need to enter both Maintenance Order# & Cost Center# in Account assignment tab of SES?
What is impact of entering both in SES?
What is standard procedure of accepting services for maint order?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Amol.

Hi Amol
Why you created Framework Order ?.. You can not change account assignment category in service entry sheet..e.g. K-Cost Center.. F- Order
But depending upon settings, you can change account assignment values such order 1 to order 2
If there are requirement that SES can created for Account assignment F or K. I recommend you to use following approach
1. Create a Contract - ME31K with AAC as U- Unknown (If business already have rates negoiated with vendor for services)
2. Create release order with reference to contract and system will prompt you to enter AAC- it can be K or F
3. Perform SES w.r.t to Release Order.
Other Approach can but not strong one.. create two line items in the PO. one with K and Other with F.. then choose the line item at time of SES creation that business want to book the cost on CC or Order.
Thanks,
Jagdeep

Don't permit release maintenance orders after Period-End CO

Hello.
Is there a standard way in SAP to don't permit the creation or release of maintenance orders after a Period-End CO is established? We had a case the last month when an user created an order after a specific hour and it caused an incongruity in the costs because the period-end was established before.

Gabriel,
Release can be easily controlled via user-exit IWO10002 as mentioned above (see transaction SMOD).
But stopping orders being created is a little different, especially when you consider planned maintenance orders via IP30 as this may lead to inconsistencies in the maintenance plan data.
We would need to know why this caused issues with period-end-closing??

Reg - Subcontracting through Maintenance Order

Scenario :Sending a Equipment through Maintenance Order outside for repair, whotrat are the steps need to follow
I have the following doubts
1. For Example, Motor for Service
Motor is the returnable component and Bearing Is a spare parts needed to repair the motor, I have to send both motor & bearing to vendor. I will only get motor back from service, bearing is consumed during repair.
1.How to send Motor & Bearing......whats the mov type ?
2. what are the key fileds i need to set in the Material master for both the material
3. Howthe cost is taken care for the consumed spare (Bearing)
4. How to track the stock at vendor stock
Regards
Prakash.B

It is suggestable to use refurbishment process.
You may check with the movement type 541 for GI of the material (equipment), you can mention the bearing in the components tab and consume it against the order. You have to create an external service requirement through the order using PM03 control key in the Operation Tab.
The cost is captured as below:
1. Material Consumption - w.r.t GI - to the order
2. Vendor payment - w.r.t Service entry sheet - to the order.
Hence the total amount is captured against the maintenance order.
Then settle the order as required.

vinoth devapriyan

Hi Vinoth,
SAP supports Sub-contracting from Maintenance Order from EHP 5. If you are using EHP 5, then you have an 'Check Box' option in the Refurbishment Order Type to define sub-contracting is allowed. Then you can send a Defective Material & get back a Repaired Material.
If you are working on a EHP that is less than 5, then you have do the sub-contracting flow seperately. Following are the steps.
Create a Sub-Contracting PR. While creating the PR, you need to define 'Recursive BOM'. Here the Parent material will be with Valuation Type 'Defective' & child Material will be with Valuation Type 'Repaired'.
Create a PO. Issue the Material (defective) from ME2O against movement type 541 to the Vendor.
Post GR with Movement Type 101.
Now the Material will get into stock against Valuation Type 'Repaired'.
Note : Do not provide 'Account Assignment' as Maintenance Order (or) Cost Center in the PO. It should be blank. Other wise the Order will be debitted twice (once when consuming the material & second when posting GR).
Hope this helps.

Ajai

Maintenance Order operations details and cost

Dear Expert,
I am having external service scenario where vendor raise the invoice with different labour charges and spare parts charges.To map this,I am thinking to create 2 services with different GL accounts.So please let me know whether this will work and I able to bifurgate the vendor cost.
Another thing,In maintenance order I will enter 2 operations,1st is for labour service and 2nd is for spare parts cost and assign the related service to this operations.Now is there any std report available where I will get operation wise cost based on the service cost for spare parts cost and labour cost,if not then please let me know the logic to developed the Z reports for the same.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards.
Swapnil

Hi Swapnil,
Its possible if you plan to develop a custom report.
In standard not possible.
For all these service entry cost, you can get through below tables
ESKN                           Account Assignment in Service Package
ESLH                           Service Package Header Data
ESLL                           Lines of Service Package
ESLP                           Service Item
ESLT                           Service Item Short Texts
ESSR                           Service Entry Sheet Header Data
ESST                           Service Item Short Texts
Similarly, you can obtain cost at different places like Internal Labour / External Labour / Internal material / External materials. Each costing information can be taken from different tables.
You need a good Abaper to get the logic and work on it

Responsible Cost Center and Profit Center in a Maintenance Order

Dears,
I would like to know what's the real influence that responsible cost center and profit center located in the
"add. data" tab in maintenance order has when I confirm a labor (through the IW41) and settlement an maintenance order.
Best Regards,
D. Quint.

D Quintal,
When you perform a confirmation (IW41) the cost centre assigned to the work centre is credited, and the order debited.
This work centre cost centre may be the same cost centre as the responsible cost centre in the order...
