No settlement for maintenance order - Impact ?

Hi gurus,
I have the following question to answer By the end of tomorrow. In fact;
- What is the impact of not settling the internal activities of my maintenance work center (I know there is no cost for the maintenance work).
Is this a good practice to indicate that the work is like for free.
- Is there any way to have the cost of the a work center only on Planned costs and not to settle it ?
The client want to see the costs of the maintenance but with no settlement of these costs (is that a good practice or a requirement without a logic reason)
Thank you.
Karim Es.

Hi Karim,
This is purely depend on your client.
All internal labour are employee of my client, so they preferred, there is no point on calculating the cost. We have designed in such a way that we do time confirmation for the hours spent on the operation, but we will not calculate the cost.
We have reports to determine the total number of hours spent and this will be useful for scheduling also.
I dont prefer to calculate the cost, if i am not getting it settled.
If you want to calculate the cost spend, then you need to develop a custom report to check based on the time confirmed hours.
Regards
Terence

Automatic Creation of Settlement Rule for Maintenance Order

Hi,
While doing TECO for Maintenance Order, its asking for Settlement Rule. IF I click settlement rule, message is coming as Maintain Settlement Profile with options like With Default, Without Default & Cancel.
I have maintained the Cost center in Equipment Master. Also I maintained Cost Center as Default Settlement receiver.
Also I have gone through setting in Automatic Creation of Settlement Rule under Controlling Category.
But I couldnt understand that. Can you please tell what are the steps to be done?
Regards,
Maheswaran.

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.

Define back ground job for Maintenance Order Settlement through KO8G

Hi Experts,
I need to define back ground job for Maintenance Order Settlement through KO8G transaction code.
Here are the requirements
1. The job should run on weekly basis automatically.
2. The settlement period and posting period should be taken care by the job dynamically. i.e. if the job runs in July, the job should pick up Settlement period and posting period as 7 automatically.
Kindly let me know the steps to define the back ground job as per above requirement.
Sanjeev

To run the KO8G each week, the a RECURRING job has to be created. At my job, Basis/Ops department would create and schedule the job.
To have the posting periods, dates etc dynamically determined at the time the job runs:
Create the variant and save.
In 5.0, KO8G does not save a variant, therefore, go to SE38 and create a variant for program: RKO7KO8G
When you go to the ATTRIBUTES screen, to add a name and description, you will see a list of all the fields that are part of the selection criteria.
For an example, I frequently use the Posting Date. To the right of the screen is a field called Selection Variable, click on the drop box and select D - Dynamic Date Calculation.
Go to field NAme of variable, click on drop box and select the variable you want.
Each field has its own list of selection variable and name of variable depending on how it works in the progra.
If you look at Posting period you will see:
T: Table Variable from TVARVC
B: User-defined variables
I do not know about User defined variables, but for TVARC there is thread that leads to a "how to" blog
[How create a variable in the TVARVC that calculate the last week]
do some more searching and you should find more answers
Good luck

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

How to calculate work in process for maintenance order

how to calculate work in process for maintenance order i.e raw materials not used

Hi,
Generally, when u create PR from maintenance order, account assignment category should be F. Cost of services first settles on the order when u create service entry sheet. Further it got settled onto settlement receiver given in order.
If you want to change the category from F to K for maintenance orders then follow the IMG menu path as given below.
Plant Maintenance and Customer Service > Maintenance and Service Processing > Maintenance and Service Orders >
General Data > Define Account Assignment Cat. and Document Type for Purchase Requisitions

Manual Reservation for Maintenance Order

Hi,
Can anyone suggest some procedure so that I can stop automatic reservation creation from Maintenance Order (Transaction:IW31, type PM01, Category 30) and create manual reservation for the same.
Presently Manual reservation is not allowed for Maintenance Order.
Thanks
Satadal

To the best of my knowledge this is possible. To the best of my knowledge G/L account determination for every material happens after a series of checks are done internally by SAP. By checks I mean the sequence of steps as customized by the consultant in the configuration. Now at the end of the sequence if SAP has not succeeded in identifying a G/L account it will open up a tab in which u can manually enter the G/L account. For non-stock item you can anyway enter it.
I would suggest that you post this query in the MM forum also.
thanks

Manual Reservation for Maintenance Order (Category 30)

Hi,
Can anyone suggest some procedure so that I can stop automatic reservation creation from Maintenance Order (type PM01, Category 30) and create manual reservation for the same.
Presently Manual reservation is not allowed for Maintenance Order.
Thanks
Satadal

Hello Satadal
nobody's answered you because it's not possible to create a manual reserve for logistic orders as Network/PP orders or PM orders.
If you want inhibit the automatic reserve creation :
- customizing (transaction OIOE) : set "Never" in field "Reservation Relevance/Generation of Purchase Requisition". The reserves will be created but they will be not relevant for MRP.
- Hide the field AUDISP "Reservation Relevance/Generation of Purchase Requisition" at component level (OICMPD) and operation level (OIOPD)
Good luck

Query about Manual Reservation for Maintenance Order Category 30

Hi,
I have a problem. Generally from Maintenance Order type PM01 under Order Category 30, when we give some materials requirement, SAP automatically generate reservation for those materials and take the GL as Consumable Item.
But in my case, that GL has to be changed depending on what perpose we are using the material. But Manual reservation is not allowed for the order category 30 and no GL can be changed for automatic reservation.
Can anybody suggest any way-out so that we can give our desired GL No. for the reservation for Maintenance order (say Order type PM01 under category 30 which is SAP internal).
Thanks in advance,
Satadal

Maintenance order settled to maintenance order-report

Hi,
How i can see the cost,maintenance order is settled to maintenance order.
is it any standard report available?
since i am not able to see the cost in settlement order.
Regards,
Shrithar

Hi Shrithar,
In general the cost are collected on Order and after completion they are settled to a Cost Object (Cost Center, G/L, WBS, Order Etc).
Now can you be clear on your question.
Are costs not getting posted onto Order? or Unable to Settle the Order? or Need a report to see the settled costs?
Based on your exact question, the forum can respond.

Consignment for Maintenance Order

Hello Guru,
there were consumptions of material 50027860 for maintenance orders 2000001286, 1287, 1985, 2604. After the invoice reception it turned out that there is price discrepancy therefore the invoice can not be booked. We could not cancel the movements (in order to correct the price in the info record and do the consumption again with the correct price) as the orders have been closed. As the consignment flow is new for us please suggest how to handle these kind of discrepancies in order to pay the invoice.
Thank you,

Dear,
First of all how u would close the order with out receiving invoice/running ko88. Even if there is a discrepancy in invoice and order the difference will be taken care by price difference account which was maintained be FI. If the a inventory the difference amount will move to inventory.
The difference amount will not be updated in either in document or in order.
for a better idea discuss with your FI and MM.

Number range for Maintenance Order (IW31) - Any exit

Hi All,
I need to go for internal number overwite for Maintenance Order (IW31)for object AUFTRAG .
I am going to maintain ztable which contain order type and NRRANGENR.So,based on the ordertype i have to populate NRRANGENR in the exit.
Can you please tell me any exit or badi or through enhancement spot we can apply number range for maintenance order.
Thanks .
With Regards,
Ambrose

Hi,
Do you need an exit ?
You could create number range groups each with a specific number range. Then assign each order type to a particular group depending on which number range you want it linked to. If necessary have a different group for each order type.
Configuration can be done in transaction SNRO for object AUFTRAG.
