Budget Process (Linked the maintenance Order into Internal Order) in EAM

Dear Experts,
Scenario for Repair & Maintenance with only MM & FICO module live w.e.f. 2007 (PM not live)
Process Managed thru Internal Order (Order Type: RPMT)
Budget managed through Investment Management (IM); Budget is directly entered against the IO using transaction IM52
Scenario for Repair & Maintenance with only MM, FICO & PM module live (PM went live in 2010)
It was proposed to assign budget against each Maintenance Order. Since the number of maintenance orders being used is very high, it was decided to link the MO & IO so that budget will be assigned to the IO and when the MO is settled against the IO, the budget in IO can be deducted accordingly. The proposed process to assign budget in Internal Order against each Maintenance Order are given below-:
1.)     In EAM process one can plan/procure material and External Services only when the Maintenance Order is created & released but practically it has to be planned long before any Maintenance Activity (Maintenance Order to be linked with the estimate so that PO can be created against the estimate).
2.)     The no. of Maintenance Order generated in EAM Module is very large as Maintenance order is created for almost each and every maintenance activity. It is cumbersome to allocate the budget to each and every maintenance order. There should be a single estimate for maintenance activity (as in MM module) and that should be linked to maintenance order so that the actual cost of Indent/Service Entry Sheet can be deducted automatically from the estimate (Maintenance Order is to be linked with estimate).
3.)      While doing return Indent the cost of return material is not being added to the maintenance order automatically (Maintenance Order is to be linked with estimate).
4.)      If Material & External Services not planned in the maintenance order (estimate), the user must be able to do that through Internal Order (estimate), hence the Internal Order must be link to the Maintenance Order. They should able to record the planned & actual cost in the maintenance Order.
Process followed:
1.) Created Internal Order in KO01 for Repair & Maintenance Order Type
     Assigned budget to Internal Order thru IM52
2.) Created PM order and assigned Internal order against Settlement Order in tab
     u2018Locationu2019 and in Settlement Rule with 100%. In this Section attach the Internal
     Order with selection type u2018ORDu2019.
3.) Released both orders and issue the Material for particular Operation and then
     determine the Cost for material .After that performed MIGO for consumption of
     materials.
4.) Settled the PM order in KO88.
     Settlement process was successfully saved.
Problem faced:
After posting the goods movement (against each Maintenance Order) and settlement of the maintenance order against IO, we still find the budget assigned to the IO is not consumed/deducted.
1. Actual cost of maintenance is not reflected in the internal order
    immediately. We have to run cost settlement (t-code KO88) for the
    maintenance order each time the actual cost is incurred in the maintenance order.
2. Also in the case of return indent, the value of returned material is not directly
    added to the available budget of internal order.
3. When the material is issued from store through the reservation generated by
    maintenance order, system does not check for budget in the internal
    order/maintenance order while issuing material from the store.
4. It must not be allowed to create reservation from the internal order of order type
     RPMT.
5. In case of external service in the maintenance order, the unit of
     measure in the requisition is set to u201CD (days)u201D by default. System does not allow
     changing the unit of measure in the requisition (it should allow to change the unit
     of measure or set the unit of measure u201CJOBu201D).
6.) When the material is issued from the store through reservation generated in
     maintenance order, system does not check for budget in Internal Order
     (estimate)/Maintenance Order while issuing material from store.

Hi,
1. Actual cost of maintenance is not reflected in the internal order
immediately. We have to run cost settlement (t-code KO88) for the
maintenance order each time the actual cost is incurred in the maintenance order.
As per the standard system budgeting is done against the actual cost only. And until you settle your order the actual cost from
maint order are not getting transfered to IO. Once they are transfered system is checking for the budget.
2. Also in the case of return indent, the value of returned material is not directly added to the available budget of internal order.
This is similar to first point, when you return goods there will be negative cost on the order, this has to be settled until that system will not compare the IO budget with maintenance order actual cost.
3. When the material is issued from store through the reservation generated by maintenance order, system does not check for budget in the internal order/maintenance order while issuing material from the store.
The budget you have assigned is at IO, how can system will check the budget while issueing goods for maintenance order. We may have to develop or use some user exit over here. Which will trigger checking of budget from the settlement receiver IO for that maintenance order.
I think you may have to go for development. These are my observations from my experience.

2.) As you know that I have assigned the budget in IO.How system will check the budget while issuing the goods for maintenance order.So will please tell me that which user-exit is used over here.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Deepak1103,
Well, obviously you will have to settle the costs incurred at the maintenance order. The internal order should be mentioned in the settlement order field in the location tab of the maintenance order. What you can do is to ask your ABAP person to activate this enhancement IWO10004: Maintenance order: Customer check for order completion, use the CAUFVD structure to get the internal order number, then use the BAPI BAPI_INTERNALORDER_GETDETAIL and pass the details to the function module BBPG_BUDGET_CHECK and check the actual cost against the required budget. In case of a conflict raise an error other wise run the function module CK_F_IH_ORDER_SETTLE to settle the costs of the maintenance order to the internal order. Budget would also be consumed and you can verify the same in S_ALR_87013019.

How to assign the budget to maintenance order

Dear PM Guru's,
I like to know the how to assign the budget for a maintenance order. how we control the expenses from a maintenance order. suppose for a small work manangement assigns budget as 2lacs. now i like to restrict if any thing purchased once budget reached to 2lacs system should populates the error message to restrict the creation of Purchase orders / material requisitions and some other issues. Please suggest me how i can map in SAP? if any one have full documentatioin regard this please send through mail.
thanks in advance to all of PM Guru's.

Jalu

Hi,
There are different approaches for budget control in PM orders.
1) Option1: In koab transaction maintain commitment managemen active and in budget profile (oioa) you must tick total values ,annual values,activation type should be 1-automatic activated when budget allocation done. Then distribute budget in PM order through KO22.
2) Option2:You can also opt for Investment management approach but it is mainly done in case of capital work/projects/internal orders. In this approach you need to activate IM for orders(done by CO people). Investment programs are created and budget distributed through IM52. For details you may consult your FICO consulatnt.
3) Option3: Fund Management approach enables you to monitor budget-relevant plant maintenance processes. enables you to monitor budget-relevant plant maintenance processes in FM.
The link between the plant maintenance process and FM is established by entering an FM account assignment (commitment item, funds center, and fund) when you create a plant maintenance order.
You have to enter the FM account assignment manually. If, however, you have maintained the assignments of FM account assignments to CO account assignments, the system determines the FM account assignment from the cost center of the technical object (functional location, equipment) which is assigned to the plant maintenance order.
FM takes care of budget related processes from creation of maintenance order till settlement.
Hope this helps you to decide an appropiate approach.

Automatic creation of service notification for maintenance order

hi,
I created one new document type (SR) as service requestion in material management.
Then i create maintenance order for service and attached service master. System generated PR. Where document type to be given to get SR instead of PR.
Kindly explain
Regards
sathish. R

Hi,
Please check the indicatorsin Actual cost/cost sales and Valid recevivers in settlement profile.
If for cost center : 1 settlement optional is maintained in valid recevivers and also for order
and in actual cost/ cost sales: indicator to be settled in full is selected.
Also check Allocation structure too if you have assigned the valid allocation structure.
**check if you have assigned the valid settlement profile to order types.
*****Most important after doing all these settings you need to create new order. for same order you will not get the automatic settlement rule
Hope this helps.

Hi,
The IMG customizing will have greater priority than the screen table controls (also specific program logic can supersede the table controls). Check the customizing for service screen at following path:

Creation of internal order (investment order- asset under construction)

I want to capture the cost of asset under construction through internal order (controlling) not throgh Investment Measure module. How i can do this.

Hi
It is the same flow as explained by AP above
If Investment management module is active, then on settlement i believe the AUC asset is automatically generated. Therefore you have to define an asset master and then include this asset in the settlement rule of the IO. Thus on settlement the cost in the IO would flow to the asset
Thank You,

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 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

On demand database maintenance order

Dear Experts,We have a prod database (databaseA)at 45GB and it contains tables for attachments(documents, images etc) from 7 companies/affiliates. The compressed full backup size is at 35.5 GB. We also maintain diff and trn backups that run on sched. We have fewer restore points due to storage constraint.A new database (databaseB) has been created in another server to house the other 6 companies' data, hence we can now delete other companies' data/records from this databaseA which leave it with only one company data. I think it is an occasion in which running DBCC shrinkdatabase would be legal so that the OS could reclaim the space.Sorry for that long overview, but my question is about the proper order of database maintenance. Is the following correct? Or will it create performance issues? Are each step necessary? Kindly enlighten me....
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

You can create a service order through sales order creation using action item of quality notification.
Define the function module into action box's item in configuration
SPRO > Quality Management > Quality Notifications > Notification Processing > Additional Notification Functions > Define Action Box > Define Functions for the Action Box
SAP sample function module is 'QM06_FM_TASK_RMA_ORDER_CREATE' for creation of repair order.
When you select the action item at quality notification, the pop-up screen to create a sales order will be shown.
Also you can assign a service item(=service material) to create a service order at the same time.
If you want to create a maintenance order(not service order), you have to use the maintenance notification.
Because only maintenance notification can have the technical object like equipment, functional location.

Approved from/to Date Permit in a maintenance order IPM2

Hy.
In the list of permits for maintenance orders (transaction IPM2) appears two fields:
    - Approved from Date: Date from which the permit is valid as being issued
    - Approved to Date: Date untill which the permit is valid.
But I am not able to change these values. Do anyone knows how is possible to add these information to a permit?
Thanks for your help.

Hi
1.     Depending on the application component in which you are working, choose one of the following menu paths:
        Logistics ---> Plant maintenance -> Management of technical objects / Maintenance processing> Environment> Permits
        Logistics ---> Customer service -
> Management of technical objects / Service processing ->Environment-> Permits
The overview of all the permits appears.
2.    Select the required permit and choose Details.
3.    Make changes as required and save the permit.
Technical name: SAP_PM_EQM_PERMITS_ISSUE_DISPL
This role contains all the functions that you require to issue and display permits
The following activities for permits are available with this role:
Changing a permit
Displaying a permit

What are the costs we collect in maintenance order and work order

what are the costs we collect in maintenance order and work order
is work order and maintenance order differeent or same

Usually the main costs of maintenance are the spare parts and labour. And these are the costs we would like to track per maintenance job from a maintenance management perspective. There could also be cases where other costs such as travel to place where the equipment is might be required to be collected in the maintenance order.
In SAP there is no term called work order. But loosely the term is sometimes used for maintenance or service order. Probably even production orders also.
thanks

Process step for Investment Management

Hi SAP Gurus
Our client is into BOT projects - Build, operate adn transfer projects.
Till the time of transfer the asset is the property of our client. So the client builds an assets, maintains & operates and transfers the rights only after certain years.
For this I am suggesting using Investment Management module but I am not very clear on the process steps right from creation to Investment order for project - build & for operation.
Request you to suggest me the process steps.
Thanks,

Using Manufacturer Part numbers (HERS) in Maintenance orders (IW32)

We want to be able to allow our maintenance engineers to select the MPN's they want (material type HERS) from the maintenance order creation screen (Iw31/IW32) but we get the message CO010 Material nnnnnnnn not found in plant xxxx. Of course the HERS will not be created in MARC, however the end user should be able to select the HERS and generate a reservation for the "Firms own inventory managed material" (the ERSA).
Any suggestions?

We have the same problem; so far we think we have to create a custom search help and append the MAT1.
I spent a long time searching for OSS notes but could not find any ...
