Measuring Point & Counter

Hi PM Gurus,
Can you tell me about the performance based maitenance :
1. Measuring Point (M.P.)
2.Counter
What are the characterstic units come under the Measuring Point.is it right that only we can give upper and lower limit in M.P not in counters.Also User exit is only created for MP not for counter.
What are the basic difference between Measuring Point & Counter.
In both the cases is it necessary to select counter tick mark or only in case of counter ?Is there is any difference while generating the plan
Regards,
RC

Hi Raju,
You can do this through,
IMG - Maintenance Plan,work center, task list & PRTS - Maintenance Plan - Set maintenance plan catagories.
Here in call object column you can define which type of call object you want for your maintenance order based on this you will get the order or notification as a call object.
And rest of the things measuring point & counter that already defined in this thread.

Reg: measuring point creation and measuring point counter creation

how to create measuring point and measuring point counter.
what is the difference between these two.
what is measuring point category,
what is measuring point
what is measuring point object
what is measuring position.
can anyone explain me in an easy for better understanding.

Firstly a Measuring point is nothing but, a factor which you measure on an equipment/FL. (Temperature, Vibration etc)
Then, a measuring point is created either on a Functional location or on an Equipment.
IK01 is the T-code for creating it.
If it is for F/L you have to use IFL as measuring point object, when it is an equipment you use IEQ
Generally these two will be in use.
In the IK01 screen if you tick the counter checkbox, the MP becomes a counter.
Example for simple MP is temperature.
And example for a Counter MP is 'Litres of petrol consumed'
In the first case you don't need to add the temperature measurements, whereas in the petrol consumption you may wish to have the cumulative value of readings taken for a period of time.
The measuring position: Example : If you are measuring the temperature of a Motor on the Drive side, you may put 'Drive End' in this field, or similar many applications.
Category would group these MPs.
In case of need you may define in customisation a sep[arate MP category.
Then each time you read a MP through IK11 or other methods a Measuring Document is created.

Measuring point,counter & meas document

What is the concept of Measuring point,counter & meas document in regard to PM ?

Hi,
Measuring Points are measurement of physical condition like temprature pressure, and consumption like fuel, and reading like hour meter , speedometer etc.
measuring points just like as log book of equipment
it is created by ik01, against technical object with characterstics of which we want to take measurment reading
and when actual reading are recorded against measuring point , a document is genrated called measurment document
it is crated by ik11, ik14 , ik34 against measuring point

Multiplication factor in measurment point/counter

Hey Gurus,
Is it possible to include multiplication factor in measuring points / counter? Like when my clients are entering the readings of energy meter they have to multiply it with some factor to get the actual reading. Is it possible in std sap or do i ve to go for development?
Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,
Some time back I have done the same requirement for one of my clients.
For that we have created a Z- Table and maintained the multiplication factor for that particular measuring point.When we enter the reading in measuring documnet system will check the multiplication factor in the Z- table and populate the reading.
We have used IMRC0001 user exit for this.Please ask your ABAP team to develop this, it is not much complicated.

Usage of Measuring Point : Counter for Generating Bills

Case : Client has a Power Generation Unit, from which it supplies power to customers. Meters installed at the customers premises are recorded by Client personnel. Bill is generated on the basis of meter reading.
Requirement : Can Plant Maintenance : Counters be used for bill generation? How should the process be mapped?

Measuring Point Counter Overflow reading

Dear Masters,
I want to know whether there is any standard method by which i can create a notification in the system whenever any measuring point reading reaches its counter overflow reading?
Can I do the same with the range valued measuring points? That if the measuring point reading is out of the range defined in a measuring point, it should create a notification
Thanks in advance for your valuable time and answers.

Hi,
Try any of these User Exits.
IMRC0001 MeasPoint/MeasDoc: Exit before update (after COMMIT WORK)
IMRC0003 MeasDoc: Menu exit for customer-specific function
To create the Notification, use the FM BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE.
[Check this link as well|BAPI needed for Notification & Work order;

Plant Maintenance - Measuring Point Counter Replacement

Dear Expert,
I had created Measuring Point which is cumulative in nature and the Counter Overflow reading is 999999. Suppose the last reading was 999900. Now my today reading is 500 then system is showing total counter reading 10000400.
My question is "how system will replace the counter reading as 401 automatically instead of 10000400". I don't want to replace the counter manually. Please guide me where i have to do configuration for this or what is best way to do it.
Thanks & Regards
Rajiv Ranjan

Hi Thyagu,
Thanks for your reply and valuable suggestion.
My question is how the Total Counter Reading will become zero and start from zero when it overflow.
For example :
Lets Counter Over Flow Reading is 100
total counter reading on 8th august is 90.
on 9th august the difference is 40, then Counter reading become 30 and TotalCtrReading is 130. I want TotalCtrReading should show 30 instead of 130. how to do it?

Rajiv Ranjan

Add measurement point / counter

Hello,
I am facing the problem that I need to add a counter value to a measure point. For this I have the equi no, the pos of the counter and the value I have to add. If the measurement point does not exist, I have to add one by creating it with the information about the pos and measurement point.
Could someone tell me if there a some BAPIs that help finding the measurement point by equi no and pos? How to add the measurement point if it is not existing? I just saw some code that reads the information in the tables but is there something more standardized?
Thanks a lot, Vanessa

In a previous assignment, I used BDC/transaction call for IK01, when I found that the measure point did not exist. If I remember correctly, it was a very short, simple process. I believe I followed that (upon sy-subrc eq 0) with a BDC/transaction call for IK11.
But, please take a look at Function Modules named like BAPI_MP. The BAPI_MPIP modules may give you what you need.

Measuring Point / Counter button

Hi,
How to hide / display Measuring point & Counters button in Header data of Reference Functional Location(IL11).(Organisation data).
Thanks & Regards,
Santhosh

Dear Santhosh,
Try with Screen variant(SHD0). Else, you can achieve this by implementing a proper BAdi/Enhancement, if there is one.
If not, you can achieve this by modification, but, it is <b>not recommended by SAP</b>.
Please check this sample program from other thread to find BADI and enhancement for a given transaction code. You just need to create a custom program in your system by cut and paste below codes.

Alternatively, you can do the following:
1. For what ever transaction u want the enhancement .. just check for the System-->status (menu) and find out the PROGRAM name....
2. Double click on to the program name and go inside the program (Abap editor)
3. Search for "Call Customer-function " ... and u'll get some search results .. If u get results then u have enhancement in that tcode .....
4. Then it actually calls a Function module .... copy the Function module name .... go to SE80 (object navigator) click on "Repository Information system" then Customer Enhancements .... Give the Function module name in the "Components" field and click Execute ....
ull get a list of Enhancements related to that Componene....
5. Choose which ever enhancement will suit ur business need ..
6. Go to CMOD... create a project .... assign ur enhancement ... and then code ur logic.... activate ur enhancement in CMOD ....... Ur Buisness need will be solved...
For a user exit......
Finding whether there is any User Exit or not for tcode VA42
1. For what ever transaction u want the user exit .. just check for the System-->status (menu) and find out the PROGRAM name.... ( The program name would be for our scenario "SAPMV45A" )
2. Double click on to the program name and go inside the program (Abap editor)
3. Search for the word "USEREXIT" .... u ll find all the user exits in the search result .. and find ur's then ...
Reward points if this is helpful.

Question about Measuring Point / Couter

Dear PM Guru,
While creating my Maintenance Plan with tcode -IP42 , there's counter automatically appear in the plan.
I under this counter is from measuring point.
I am confuse with the Counter in all this tcode IP41 , IP42 & IP01.
My question are :
Is this measuring point / counter master data or technical object ?
Where's the relationship for counter in Maintenance plan ?
Any impact the counter with the cycles used in the item line?
What 's the different between IP01 vs IP41 vs IP42?
Appreciate your input from any PM Guru.
TQ

Hi Venu,
Thank for your reply.
Understand that In Performance-based Maintenance Plan, SAP automatically links Counter to the Maintenance Plan.
After my personal investigation , fully understand that only performance based maintenance plan are using counter. Normal Maintenance Order will not use counter as Master data.
Example Performance Based Plans :
When the measuring point counter reaches 3000 -1st order should get generated
2nd one at 6000, 3 rd one at 9000 etc...
Or
1. Single Cycle with counter -- Ex . Maintenance every 3000 hrs
2. Strategy Cycle plans.. -- Ex. Maintenance every 3000 hrs and every 6000hrs
3. Multiple Counter Plans..-- Ex Maintenance every 2month or 1year..
Process Flow.
Create equipment with suitable measuring point (inc annual estimate) with Tcode IK01 create measuring point
Create initial counter reading measurement document
Create task list (optional for single-cycle plan)
Create counter based maintenance plan
Scheduling maintenance plan (IP10/IP30)
Create measurement documents periodically
Little Question to ask.
1) Is this the SAP standard flow ?
Please correct me if i am wrong.
Thank you.

Measuring points & counters......................,

hi everyone,
could you tell me indetail about measuring points and counters....
what is difference b/w measuring point and counter ....?
and what is the use with the measuring position and target value...
and what is the effect if we select the measpoint is counter text box at initial screen..(t.code: ik01)
plz share any information which u have..... if u dont mind
thanks in advance.....
regards,
gunnu

Hi,
Measuring Point & Counters are used to capture the Important Parameters which should be captured on periodical basis.
Measuring Position => This is Number or Description which is used to describe the Measuring Point.
Target Value => Ideal or recommended Value for that measuring point
Measuring Point is Counter => If you want to define ODO meter reading, that kind will be counter.
Please go through some of the links.

Measuring point as counter mass maintenance

Hi,
I have created some 500 equipments through BDC. But I forgot to put a tick (X mark in template) against field u2018Indicator to Show that Measuring Point Is a Counter.
How to put a tick on that field in mass?? Other wise I will have to go to T code IE02 500 times and put a tick manually.
Pls guide.
Regards.

Hi Dear,
You can use the LSMW for the T-Code IE02, Recording Methord.
That can serve your Purpose.

Diffrence between Measuring point and Counter

What is the difference between Measuring Point and Counter ?
-Md

Hi,
_Measuring Point_
Measuring points in the SAP System describe the physical locations at which a condition is described, (for example, Temparature and Pressure on a Boiler ). The characteristics associated with the measuring points which record the value can only be numeric characteristic. Measuring points are located on technical objects, in other words, on pieces of equipment or functional locations. For every measuring point there should be some characteristics to measure the reading.
To enable you to differentiate more easily between the individual measuring points and provide them with a unit, you assign each measuring point to a characteristic.
The parameters like Running Hours, Temperature, Pressure etc,, on equipments can also be mapped under measuring point.
Counter:
A type of measuring point, where a continuous reading is recorded (e.g. Milometer). In case the measuring point is a counter, it needs to be defined likewise.
Counter readings are taken at counters at particular intervals and in particular measurement units.
For Example, counter readings for kilometers driven or electricity used

Krishna Mohan.
