Plant maintenance controlling cycles in a strategy plan

I'm using a super task list model and controlling which operations are selected for a maintenance plan using object dependencies.
I've found a problem with this model, in that the maintenance packages selected in the task list are controlling what cycles are used in the maintenance plan. I want to override this functionality, basically selecting what cycles I want in the plan regardless of what's selected in the task list. Does anyone have ideas on how this can be done? A user exit maybe?
Thanks,

Bryan,
I'm not sure it can be done...

Plant Maintenance - Linkage between Task List and Maintenance Plan

Sir,
In Plant Maintenance, I have an equipment for which there are 9 maintenance activities that have to be performed every year. Out of these 4 activities will be carried out every month. 1 activity will be carried out during the months of February, June and October. 5 activities will be carried out only in the month of December.
I need to create Task List for all these activities and subsequently create Maintenance Plans for all these Task Lists.
Can I group all the 4 activites which will be carried out every month into one single Task List, with separate operation nos and time against each activity?. I don't know whether it is correct or not.
If I use the above method I can create 3 Task Lists for this particular equipment with same Group no and 3 Group Counters.
How to create Maintenance Plan for the above scenario?.
Eventhough, 4 activites are carried out every month and they have been grouped into a single Task List (Group counter 1) and if these activites are carried out on different dates within a month how can I create Maintenance Plan and subsequently create a Maintenance Order?.
I need some help in this regard. A detailed reply will be helpful.
Can anyone throw some light in this regard.
Regards,
R. Vijayakumar

you need to create one task list with a maintenance strategy with packages and hierarchy to outline the work requirements i.e. some tasks to be carried out 3 monthly some 4 monthly etc, and also if common tasks appear in 3 monthly package vs 4 monthly package then to suppress the duplicating task
you would then define a strategy based maintenance plan and run it to get the respective maintenance orders

Strategy plan: deletion of shortest cycle & determination of call horizon

Dear colleagues,
I'm facing a weird situation on a strategy plan:
Initially I had following packages assigned in the task list: 1, 3 & 12 months. There have also been calls for the 1 month package.
In the meanwhile I have deleted the 1 month package from the task list and only 3 and 12 months is active.
When I take a look in IP10 at the next plan and call dates, I recognize that the call horizon for the call date is still calculated from the 1 months package.
I think this is not correct - or did I simply miss to do a restart in IP10 after deletion of the 1 month package in the task list?
Thanks in advance for your hints!
Regards,
Patrick

Hi Santosh,
I've tried to use the refresh button in IP10. After saving IP10 the situation is not getting better - the difference between plan and call date is still calculated based on the lowest cycle (1 month), which was deleted from the task list in the meanwhile.
I've tried to run IP30 after the scheduling update in IP10 - but no change in situation.
Did I miss anything or understand something wrong?
Nevertheless, for the users it's be more easy to just push a button in IP10, then using the restart function with selecting a the right package as offset.
Regards & thanks,
Patrick

How to change duration of Preventive Maintenance cylce in strategy plan?

Hi,
How one can change duration of Preventive Maintenance cylce in strategy plan?
e.g. In IP11 we set Preventive Maintenance schedule as monthly and we want to change it as quarterly i.e. every 3 months from starting date.
With Best Regards,
Rajkumar

Hi Mr Ramesh
Thanks for reply .
Kindly guide us about as what steps /Tcode need to be used to perform the following actions as suggested by you :
a) Delete orders.
b) Go to IP10 and Do a 'manual call' by entering the planned date to create orders for the deleted packages.
Or
Reschedule the Whole Maintance plan by entering appropriate dates.
c) Also please clarify , that how the new Orders will get generated against the Deleted Orders .
With Thanks and Rgds

Planning in Plant Maintenance using MCB.

Hi Experts,
My client is into Mining Industry. This is a Greenfield SAP Implementation.
Client is not clear with the Planning requirements in the Plant Maintenance module.
Therefore, I have suggested that all the Standard Businenss Content Extractors and relevant Queries will be delivered as part of Maintenance Planning.
I tried but could not find any Plant Maintenance Planning (MCB) related DataSources and Queries in the BI 7.0 Business Content page @ http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/f6/7a0c3c40787431e10000000a114084/frameset.htm.
Could you please help me with this?
Thanks in advance,
Chandu

Hello Chandra,
We are in the Health Care sector and I have a similar requirement as of yours. We are not really sure what all we would require from PM, so we are thinking to go ahead with all the Business Content Reports and I have been asked to install all the Cubes, DSO's, Extracots, Reports Etc, Etc....
I just also have the above link in my hand and it doesn't give us a whole lot clear picture..? So how did u carry out with your requirement? What all you ended up installing? Please do share it, will be a great help for me.
Thanks in advance, Venu.

Can I do plant maintenance cost planning in functional location wise?

Dear Experts,
My customer plans to prepare annual plant maintenance cost planning in "functional location" wise.
Can this be done?
If yes, what are the steps?

Abraham

Abraham,
You could do it indirectly in ECC using a cost centre for each FLoc. You can then plan the costs in the cost centre

Intergration of Production Planning with Plant Maintenance (SAP Modules)

Our SAP Implentation Consultants are creating work centres in Production Planning which are different to the workcentres in Plant Maintenance as follows.
Work Centres in PP
Mixing
Blowing
Filling
Packaging
Work Centres in PM
Mechanical
Electronics
Electrical
My observation is that in PM the work centres should be identical to PP work centres. whereas Mechanical, Electronics and Electrical should be configured as divisions or departments. The idea is that by having PM WC identical to PP WC the costing will be simplified.
looking forward to expert's advices, please

Actual & planned costs calculated while creating Plant Maintenance Order

Hi All,
I would like to know how the actual & planned costs calculated while creating Plant Maintenance Order (PM Order)
Thanks,
Ajay

You need to create an activity rate for 2014 for cost centre 51260201 and activity type NAHG20.
This can be done via transaction KP26, but is usually performed by your Finance team.

Maintenance plant & maintenance planning plant

Hi,Experts,
Logistic plant is created by MM consultant.Why to create again maintenance plant & maintenance planning plant? can anybody please explain the logic behind it.Incase say, there is only one logistic plant created by MM consultant,if maintenance plant & planning plant is not created in this case how will it affect?can anybody pl explain this ?
rgds
mehbub

Hi
Please read SAP help you get complete deteails
in brief logistic plant created by MM thats fine. As the Plant maintenance you need to have the Maintenance plant and Maintenance planning plant.
If you consider logistic plant as Maintenance plant. for this maintenance plant you need to carryout the planning ie is thorugh maintenance plannig plant.
so you need to assing to each other in the enterprics structure.
bascially maint plant is plant where you perform the maint task and maint plan is the plan aganit the maint plant you plan the maintenance .

Single and strategy plan( What does it means )?

Hi all,
Please explain me what does single cycle plan and strategy plan means.
Following is my requirement.
( Since Swedish mills and other units use not only single cycle plans but also strategy plans , sometimes with multiple operations to each maint item, there is a need for cycle and cycle unit (interval) and work center on operation level on the layout in the report zpm_huvud.
There is also a need for maint plan name, plant section and work center (on operation level) as search criteria in the variant. The reason for this is that we use plan name as grouping criteria for multiple objects in rounds. The criteria work center description text should be changed into main work center.
We also need to be able to sort the answer in the layout in two ways : by functional location or by maintenance plan.
The plans that have object lists and/or have no operation lists also need to be shown in the report. All text on maintenance plan should be shown in the report )
Please explain me this with one example...
Its urgent.
Thanx in advance,
Amruta.

hi
single cycle plan
say for example you are planning to replace the bearing of a pump every 500 hrs of ruuning ,you use this plan to generated the maintenance order when the operating hours reaches 500 hrs.
Stratergy
In case of DG set there are lot of components to be maintained based on running hours for example for ever 100 hrs filters to be cleaned,every 500 hrs lub oil to be changed.In this case you can use strategy based maintenance plan .you can create 2 operation in the task list and assign to the respective package,so onec the 100 hrs has reached system will create maintenance call object as filters to be changed and in 500 hrs it will say lub oil replacement

Plant Maintenance - Doubts in Task List Creation

Hai,
This is the first time that I am doing some configuration regaring Plant Maintenance Module.
Scenario:
There is an equipment which has a Plan for maintenance. Support there are 8 maintenance activities which have to be carried for that equipment in an year. Each of this activity will be carried out in different periods. Some of them will have to be done once in a year. Some may be done once in 6 months.
But all the acitivities will not be carried out at the same time.
Can anyone tell me how this can done?. Should we create separate Task Lists for all the 8 activities and subseqently create a Maintenance Plan for each of them or Create one single Task List which has all the 8 activities by giving Operation nos. In th second case how to create Maintenance Plan for each of the individual Line item in a Task List and how can it be linked.
In the first case can a single Task list be incremented by a Group Counter which can have the individual operation so that a Maintenance Plan can be created for individual Task List incremented by a Group Counter.
In both the cases can someone give me the procedure.
Please throw some light on this subject.
Regards,
R. Vijayakumar

Dear Vijaykumar,
Jus follow the below steps..
Step-1
T-code IP11, Create maintenance Startegy with all required frequencies like 1, 2 3 4 u2026 12 months
Step-2
In T-Code IA01, On general header view screen .Enter the datas like Work center, usage, status. Select ur required Maintenance Strategy which u already created.
GO to operation tab , enter ur list of operations one by one (all 8 operations).
Select all operations and click Mntpack icon on bottom of screen , On package overview screen u can able to select different operation at different frequencies jus tick box and save
Step-3
In T-Code IP42, select the maint strategy which u have assigned already and fill required details and select Task list which u have created in previous step (link is available in bottom screen) & Save.
Step-4
In T-Code IP10, schedule the Maintenance Plan
Now you will get the Maintenance orders automaticaly based on package u defined and schedule date.
Revert back me in case if u have any doubt on this cycle. Else close this thread.

Gunak

'Log Book' in plant maintenance (SAP PM module)

Dear Experts
I want to know about 'Log Book' in plant maintenance (SAP PM module). How to work on LOG BOOK & what are the configuration settings available in SAP PM for Log Book?
Basically, the concept of logbook is to update shift activities & measures during Plant Maintenance without SAP. but in SAP, What i know about the Log book in SAP PM is : It is an industry specific feature, before it was only used in (IS- Aeronautical). but now it is available in ECC 6.0 also. To activate this node, we need to update the patch 2.0 in ECC 6.0
Thanx,
PMGURU

Dear,
The Logbook is an easy-to-use tool that supports the controlling and execution of daily maintenance tasks for assets in operation. This tool provides personnel, who are operating the assets, with the functions to log defects and operational data. It provides maintenance personnel, such as maintenance engineers and technicians, with functions that ensure the timely and reliable execution of their maintenance tasks.
Logbook is easy to use and provides functionality that is seamlessly integrated with follow-on processes of the mySAP for Aerospace & Defense solution for Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO). For example, operational data captured in the Logbook updates measurement points that, in turn, trigger preventive maintenance events. Maintenance work steps created in the Logbook generate material and resource requirements in materials and capacity planning. Material exchanges update the asset structure and automatically generate the required goods movements.
An important business example for using the Logbook is to control the daily line maintenance tasks for aircrafts.
The logbook helps you record defects encountered during aircraft flights and the actions taken to correct them. The log may also include the space to record additional flight data, such as the names of the crew members, flight parameters, payload data, fueling data, flight hours, and cycles operated.

Rakesh
