Migrate attachments to material or equipment

Anybody around who has migrated the documents that were attached via GOS (service for objects) to a material master or an equipment from one SAP system to another?
We are merging SAP systems, and the to be migrated 46c system has some thousand drawings and documents attached to materials and equipments.
I need to find a way to get these attachments somehow into the ECC6 system. Appreciate ANY help.
I know the tables for the GOS objects in ECC6, SRBCSBREL has the link between the material and the attachment, but unfortunatly this table is not present in 46c. Anybody knows the table that holds this info in 46c?

Good Day All,
Even I have a similar requirement to migrate vendor master attachment from one purchase organization to another purchase organization. Can anyone help me giving a solution. I need extraction and upload procedures. Otherwise please let me know if there are any other option to do the same by copying the table entries in some tables.
Thanks in advance,
Abdul

Functional location for the respective material and equipment in a report

i want to show the functional location for the respective material and equipment in a report designed for plant maintenace module..how should i add a field in the report which already contains the order , material and equipment no ?..just have to add a field functional location in that report. Can anyone plzz tellme from which table should i fetch the data .?

From EQUI get the recent/valid EQUZ record.
From EQUZ get the ILOA record.
ILOA holds the TPLNR for the equipment.
And from ILOA you can get IFLOT.
edit: just noticed you can use V_EQUI as well.

Dismantling of material from equipment BOM

Dear Experts
I am a beginner in SAP PM. I have one PM scenario. How to implement in SAP.
I want to dismantle one temperature gauge from one equipment for repaired, first I have to dismantle the gauge from equipment and after repairing I have to reinstall the gauge on equipment. How to proceed for that?
My temperature gauge is maintained in BOM for that equipment. How can I dismantle material from equipment BOM and reinstall that?
Thanks

Hi Iqbal
In IQ01 for the 'material' Temp gauge I created one serial no and equipment. I installed that equipment(temp gauge) on pump as sub equipment. Then before repairing, in IE02 itself I selected dismantle and dismantled. Is it the way you were mentioning?
Alternatively when I use the t-code IE4N it gives the following error massage: -
"Missing Customizing settings for software component ECC-DIMP
Message no. IEN126"
Can you please tell me the path details for IE4N. And is there any customising settings reqd for this T-code.
Thanks

Test equipment as PRT , Material or Equipment

Hi there ,
As per my understanding we can maintain test equipment as PRT , Material or Equipment....
Can anyone please suggest me that on what factors we can take the decision & what is the relative pros & cons of each.....
Thanks & Regards
Kaushik

Hi Charles,
Even if we maintain the Test equipment Material or Equipment we can do the same .
What are other factors that will lead us to maintain the same as PRT , Material or Equipment ?

Requirement: New tool to migrate attachments within KM repository

Dear Colleagues
I need to write a new migration tool to migrate atttachments in KM.(NW
04s SP10) I will give you an example
Currently the attachments are stored as follows
/documents/cprxrpm/<portfolio guid>/Item/<item guid>/abc.txt
or
/documents/cprxrpm/<portfolio guid>/Element/<item guid>/ccc.txt
                                                                                The problem with the above was that there was language dependent text in the above url (Item in English and Element in German). So the above 2 attachments will have to be moved to
/documents/cprxrpm/<portfolio guid>/RIH/<item guid>/ccc.txt
/documents/cprxrpm/<portfolio guid>/RIH/<item guid>/abc.txt
And the folders from which the attachment is migrated will have to be
deleted. The whole path. Since all the attachments are attached at the
end of the path.
I know such a thing be done using KM API's. There are 100's of such attachments lying in various language dependent paths to be moved to the language independent folder.
Can someboby point me to the right API's and some sample code which must be already existing?
Also can this be a webdypro dc or will this have to be a EP dc?
                                                                                Thanks and alot

Hi Julian,
This is a 1 time task. But as i explained i have to write some programming logic to move the files and ship it to the customer.
Customer will have a button on a iView like migrate and this program should be called where in i have to loop over all the content, check if there are attachments and move the same to the language independent path
/documents/cprxrpm/<portfolio guid>/RIH/<item guid>/ccc.txt
/documents/cprxrpm/<portfolio guid>/RIH/<item guid>/abc.txt
This has to happen within the same repository. Just that attachment s have to be moved from one folder stucture to another.
If you answered in the same direction then i did not understand , maybe you can give me a link on how o do it.
thanks
Prashanth

Replicating Characteristic Values of a Material to Equipment

Hi,
We are creating a Material Master with Classification View. In this view, we have assigned a Class (Class Type 001) with several Characteristics. Characteristic Values are also assigned to each of these Characteristics.
We are also creating Equipment Master for the above Material at the time of GR. This Equipment Master has a Class of Class Type 002. But this Class has some Characteristics that are common with the Material Master. The Characteristic Values are also the same.
Is it possible to automatically populate the Characteristic Values from the Material Master to the Equipment Master for the common ones ?
(Requirement is to search for Equipment Numbers based on Characteristic Values in the corresponding Material Master. In IH08, we are unable to do this. So is it appropriate to think of assigning the same characteristics in the Equipment Master and assign those characteristic Values? We feel that it is amounting to duplication and prone to mismatch.)
Request suggestions please.
Regards,
Raj

Pete,
The values have to be copied when an Equipment Master is created at the time of GR and you are right ... we cannot allow modification of the characteristic values in the Equipment Master independent of the Material Master !! Both has to be in synch for those common characteristics.
I will also check with our ABAP team to explore enhancement spots in IH08.
In our case, both the material serial number and the equipment number are kept synchronous. Is there anyway where we can search Serial Numbers based on the Characteristic Values in the corresponding Material Master?
Thanks for your inputs.
Regards,
Raj

Characteristics at Material and Equipment

Hi,
Could you please help me finding ways of setting up Characteristics at the Material Master which is not having type as configurable.
Then based on that if equipments are to be created, then those characteristics to be propagated to equipments also automatically.
Please guide.
Thanks and Regards

You have to activate an enhancement

RollOut: Data migration phase - material master

Dear all,
we are going to implement the SAP in one of our subsidiaries. The phase data migration of the material master is not that clear because I am not very experienced in such a project.
Can anybody consult me concerning my intentions?
I would like to subdivide the prozess data migration in the following separate steps:
1. Analysis of the structure and the material master fields of the legacy system
First I would require an example structure of the legacy system to get a first overview. This structure should be an excel sheet. Then I would discuss this structure with the staff of our subsidiary.
2. Structure of our SAP system
The structure of the SAP and all the necessary fields of the material master will be discussed with the staff of the subsidiary.
3. Comparing of both structures
Compare both structures and define which fields are missing and which fields have to be added
4. Preparation of the migration tool (LSMW)
I would be very grateful to get a reply or critic are recommendations.
Did I forget anything?
Thank you very much
Conan

I think you basically got what needs to be done.
I usually let the module teams deliver the SAP fields that are necessary for their process.
For the source data I contact the team that deals with the legacy system.
Then we map fields and find the source fields that have to target, as well as mandatory target fields that have no source data.
And I request this usually per material type, as each material type may have different requirements.
Start with the process as early as possible, best with project begin already.
I am currently doing a huge migration project (merging of several SAP systems) , started last December, and I still miss a lot of mappings.
I made the exerience that I get mapping for the well kown entries of a field, however, there are many records that have different values, maybe values that should not be used anymore in the legacy system, but old records never go adjusted, hence I have them as error when loading.

SWAP Equipment using IE4N, without serial number and material, it is possible?

Hi PM Experts, I´ve been reading about the way to SWAP equipments from his functional location without using serial number and material, I think if it is not possible, but to be honest, I cannot find any logical answer for it, since equipment number is unique for a plant. Does anyone have found any work around for it?.
I don’t want to use serial numbers and materials, because I think the process is really simple, since the client does not want to implement the refurbishment process. If there is a break down, here is what I do:
Case 1:
Dismantle damage equipment (Say PM01 Order Type)
Install new equipment (same PM order)
TECO the actual PM order
...Later
Case 2:
Create a new PM orden (say PM01 Order Type)
Repair the break equipment
TECO this new PM Order
Here are the inconsistencies:
What happen with the MTTR and MTBR reports?
In case one, I´ll create the material as equipment, while I´m installing, starting date for his master data is the installation day, and the MTTR and MTBR will start to run. This is ok.
What happened in case 2?, I need to stop the “clock” for the MTTR and MTBR of the dismantle equipment.
This is the reason why, I would like to use IE4N, but since there are no serial number and material, I cannot.
Can anyone please suggest a workaround for this scenario?.
I´m thinking in use INAC (Object Deactivated) system status, can this status help me?, Does this status “stops” the clock for MTTR and MTBR report?. If I change the status to ACT, I´ll get the clock back running?.
How about dismantle the equipment?, It will get the AVLB Available status, but the problem is, this equipment will be “floating” in the whole PM structure and I do not want it. I want to have it in a specific Functional Location but with this status, is this possible?. I woul like to use IE4N to SWAP UTs and later change the status to AVLB Available status, with and exits.
I thinking in an Equipment Status and a “Z” MTTR and MTBR report, based on this status. But to be honest, I´d like a standard solution for it.

For find my iPhone to work, the device has to be powered on and it has to be connected to a network (Cellular or WiFi). Find My iPhone uses your AppleID as the account to search for. Maybe the "guys" you were talking to were referring to a 3rd party application that essentially lo-jacks your device. But even then, it would still require Power and a network.
I don't believe that there is currently a way to flag a specific serial number for location.
Best of Luck.

Multiple Material Selection linked to Equip BOM

Dear Experts,
We have Equipment BOMs.
Now there is a requirement during Material selections in From To fields, that if I select the option 'Material by Equipment BOM' the list of materials under that particular Equip BOM should appear. (Exactly the way 'Material by Material Group' etc do) for this I need to have the above option in the Menu. i.e. Material by Equipment BOM. How do I achieve this?
Kindly help.

Hi ,
It might be not possible
but you can try copy from equipment bom

Difference between Item created under Material Master and Equipment

Hello Expert,
I am bit confused in Item created in Master and Equipmet:
as per my understanding : Item created in Item master belong to some BOM in BOM defines the structure for the Item.
Then what is exactly served b equipments?
The equpments are serialied Items with some different structure or they are derived from BOM?
Please guide me to understand this concept.
br,
Pushkar

Dear,
Check what I found: material master is used to describe an item, usually stockable, that is purchased, manufactured, sold, inspected, serviced, etc. A material master is usually created when there are multiple quantities of an item, say a product that is being manufactured.
A material master may have a serial number profile entered in order to allow distinguishing between the different copies of the same item. For stocking, inspecting, sales, manufacturing, etc; the exact serial number(s) being transacted will need to be specified.
Depending on the serial number profile specifics, each SN may get a unique equipment master, which records information specific to the material-SN combination (not just about the material in general). For instance, if a product sold to a customer is returned for service, that material-SN (=equipment master) will have a record of the service order used.
For items which are never inventoried but for which information particularly PM transactions are recorded, an equipment master without a material master may be created, for instance a piece of processing equipment.
So an equipment master may link to a material-SN combination, or may be a stand-alone.
