Forum for Plant Maintenance

Dear All,
Which is the forum in which i can post my Plant Maintenance Querries is it Enterprise Asset Management or Product Life cycle management.
U r help needed.
Regards,
Rashmi

Hi
Very good question.
Its a fact that when we are confused we tend to reply that this is a very good question. Before answering your question I would like you yo know the basic functionalities of these SAP solutions. Product Life Cycle Management (PLM) is an end to end solution from concept of an asset upto its end of lifecycle i,e decommisioning. Enterprise asset management is an integral component of PLM. PLM supports selection ,purchase, installation of equipment, tracking the cost of assets, access drawings manuals parts info over internet. It also supports mobile business so that you can access plant information over PDAs and other mobile devices.
EAM typically addresses and manage notifications, work orders, measurement documents, requisitions, purchase orders, and service entry sheets among many other things.
It is a fact that PLM supports much more than the standard asset management concept.
With this background in mind we can assume that any issues related with typical asset related queries may be posted in Enterprise asset management. Queries that relate to features such as DMS, Mobile asset management etc may be posted in Product Life Cycle Management.
I would invite moderators attention to this explanation
Hope this explanation helps. Reward suitably if found helpful

Intercompany Stock Transfer starting from Plant Maintenance

Dear SAP Experts,
We are planning to implement Intercompany Stock Transfer Process starting from Plant Maintenance side.
We would like to be able to order for maintenance work order material which belongs to different plant.
After adding such material to work order system should automatically create purchase requisition with Item Category U – Stock Transfer.
Such purchase requisition will be then converted to P.O. Then standard MM process will follow meaning on supplying plant side Delivery & Goods Issue will take place. And on receiving plant side Goods Receipt against P.O.
Can you please let me know whether there is standard process which covers what was described above especially part on Plant Maintenance side?
If there is no standard process can you please advise (propose some best practices) how we can realized such request?
Many thanks in advance.
Grzegorz

From memory, with intercompany trading you need to create a PO/PR on Company A and a corresponding Sales Order on Company B.
This can be automated via MM
I would suggest you ask the question in the MM Forum..

Plant Maintenance with MRP

Dear all,
Sorry because i can't find a forum for PM function, so i have to post this subject in PP forum. But I think thera are some solution for my problem.
1. Does anyone run MRP for Plant Maintenance??? because I have to make requirement planning of material for maintenance plan in my company.
2. I have a equipment BOM, so when I have a maintenance order. Why the system does not auto load all of component in BOM into tab component of maintenance order? If I want to load assign component fof maintenance order, I have to do this by choose each item in BOM equipment and assign it to maintenance order.
Thank all

Hi VU,
As i u/s MRP is not run like for PM or PP or MM, it is run for Materials in the plant & any material which allows MRP will be considered for MRP, Coming to PM you may stock your spares not on individual requirement but say based on consumption(reorder point), consumables like grease & oil can also be planned this way, then these materials will be considered in MRP, and when you create an order and you have missing part, MRP would consider the requirement from order.
Coming to 2nd part, In manufactuirng(PP) a material, all the materials given in the BOM would be required,
while in maintenance this would not be so, for an equipment you may have no.of spares listed out but all the spares would not be used ?????
Hope this helps.

Plant maintenance - Default value for task list

Dear All ,
I am new to the forum, Can any one throw some light on where do I do customizing settings , so that I will get a pop up window asking to change workcentre while I assign a Task list to an order.
Sorry if this is a silly question.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You can define this at the following IMG path:
>Plant maintenance & customer service -Maintenance & service Processing -Maintenance and service orders -Functions and settings for order types -Default value for task list data and profile assignment
It is also possible for each user to maintain their own settings. This can be done using the following menu:
Transaction IW31/32: Extras   > Settings   > Default values

Dear All,
Can anyone share some links or materials regarding the PM module.
I have checked the help.sap reference. but since I dont have experience & practical knowledge regarding this module I am finding a bit difficult to follow. So please advice how to start with ?
Materials with the basics structure & Process flow in PM Or if someone can explain the PM process flow like the PR-LIV flow in MM it will be really very helpful.
Also if you can provide details regarding the SDN forum i.e related to PM module where I can find PM materials & threads it will be highly appreciable.
Expecting your valuable replys.

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
Amjad
