Plant Maintenance: refurbishment orders

I am creating a refurbishment order for a material using IW81. How can I link a funtional location to the order?
thanks
john

Hi ,
Your question is not clear.
Normally Refurbishment is done for costly spares used in PM and sometimes eqpts like motors you can maintain stock and under such cases you need create a material with split valuation and mention that eqpt master record in serial data tab . You also need to activate serial no functionality . Such eqpts which are at site and if need to refurbished then they need dismantled from F.LOC and brough back to store and then refurbished in normal process.
Please follow the link for Processing Material refurbishment withou serial nos (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/fe/67f9609d6f11d189b60000e829fbbd/frameset.htm)

Using SmartForm for Plant Maintenance service order processing

Greetings everyone,
I am working in R/3 4.6C and I have a SmartForm that I would like to configure as a shop paper in plant maintenance and print along with various types of work orders. However, the config in this area only allows configuration of SAPscript forms with print programs and form routines.
Does anyone know if there is a way to configure or convert a SmartForm so that I can print it as a PM shop paper?
I will definitely reward helpful answers/solutions.
Thanks,
Geoff

Thanks for the quick response, Anji.
So just to be sure, there is no way I can configure this form to work with the shop paper config, correct? If I want something to automatically print with different work order types, I guess I have no choice but to use a SAPscript form with a print program? I am just not clear on what you mean when you talk about the Z t-code, since I never want to execute this form directly, but always automatically in work order printing from IW32 or similar transactions.
Thanks..
Geoff

View labor and material costs in plant maintenance work order

Hi
I am aware we can bring in the costs in the work order through Activity types and assigning the costs to the acitvity type.
Is there anyway we can bring in the actual cost for the work performed by the associate? should we link the work center to HRMS?
Please advise. I need your valuable input for all the points below.
Main points that need to be addressed:
1. Each associate that is capable of confirming hours to a work order needs to be assigned an hourly rate that is reflective of the actual cost for the work performed by this associate. These hours are then tracked through the work order to give a cost for labor assigned to that particular job.
2.Any materials used in the performance of the required task(s) dictated by the work order will be assigned to that order. These materials can be assigned through SAP purchase requisitions, tool crib spot buys, or procurement with a purchase card.
3.Standard reports need to be created so we can track the total maintenance costs for any level of the equipment hierarchy as currently set up in SAP. When this report is created it should show the total maintenace costs for all the levels of the equipment hierarchy broken down into labor cost and material cost. I am using Tcode IW37N and IW40 . Is there any suggestion?

Greetings Chandra,
1) You will need to create Work Centres for your associates and create the Activity Types. You can default the Activity Type for each Work Centre and maintain the rate for the activity via t-code KP26 planning.
2) Planned and unplanned Purchase Requisitions for Components with category N will debit the order with material costs. But what do you mean by "tool crib spot buys" and "procurement with a purchase card"? You may need to develop a solution to do such postings to the Order (or for purposes of Cost controlling, manual activity allocation similar to confirming work may be desired such as Manual Activity Allocations via CO transactions (KB21N), unless you can cover that with Purchase Requisitions and POs with "F Order" account assignment.
3) MCI8 Cost Report should be suitable for you, once you set up the Value Categories & Cost Key Figures.
See
PMIS Cost Analysis Reporting Overview
Maintenance Cost Key Figures in MCI3 and MCI8 Reports

Unicode Issue - Corrupted long texts in Plant Maintenance Work Orders

we're having an issue regarding corrupted texts in a Unicode system. here's the scenario:
- long text came from 4.5b wherein, of course, the japanese characters are viewable either in EN or JA logon
- now, this long text when viewed in our acceptance/testing system which is already, take note, already in unicode long text is garbled. both in EN and JA logon long texts are garbled. we are expecting that since the system is already in unicode it can now support code page for japanese.
(here's the tricky part -- the one seen in the field is properly displayed but when trying to view the complete long text, those that are not in the field are garbled.)
- we also have some scenarios that came from 4.5b, when viewed in the testing system while not unicoded - it's garbled in EN. this is normal since it's still non-unicoded. and of course when viewed using JA logon it's not corrupted anymore. we're expecting that this will also be the same with the issue above. but it's not.
please see link for screenshots. [http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/9760/unicodeissuee.jpg|http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/9760/unicodeissuee.jpg]

i know it's weird.
but then i talked to a friend, she's an abaper. she said that those that can be converted or properly viewed are texts elements in database tables and those that are like free texts or comments can not. and there's no possible way for this but to manually retype everything.
makes sense right.

Can we settle refurbishment order(Plant Maintenance) periodically

Hi All
our client want to settle refurbishment order periodically to material.
In standard SAP will allow this after TECO.
They r taking more time to complete these orders and costs are setteled in Orders and not reflecting in monthly cost balance sheet.
can we settele initially to one separate cost center and tranfer cost (oder wise ) to material after teco.
It should reflect that the cost should be reduced in cost center and updated in material
Thanks in advance

Hi,
this seems like a WIP (work in progress) scenario, maybe you can try a results analysis version.

Pur Req via Plant maintenance order

Hi,
When Non stock item is assigned to a Plant Maintenance order, A purchase requisition is created automatically for that item.
During the creation of purchase requision it is required to enter goods recipient and unloading point( few fields are made mandatory)
Issue: At this stage we are giving planne delivery time and GR processing time.
But when we check the Purchase req for that item, Only GR processing time is considered not Planned delivery time.
Please provide your suggestion, why planned delivery time is not considered for scheduling of purchase req.
Thanks and regards,
Nataraj

Hi!,
I think you should check the operation control key you are using. Whether that key allows 1. Externally processed opearation 2. allows the scheduling of externally processed operation. If both are true then it will take the standard values defined for that opearation for scheduling. if 2nd is not true then it will schedule as per planned delivery time.
I think this will solve your problem.

Uday

Settings for costing data in order types for plant maintenance

i want to know the purpose of settings for costing data in order types for plant maintenance. do we need to do it for sure i mean are those settings mandatory to analyze the costs on work order

Yes you need to maintain those settings, as the plant maintenance orders are also considered as cost objects and in order for you to post any cost, you need to have a cost object. Unless you maintain these settings, the cost you posted cannot be settled to a cost center.
Assign points as a way to say thanks.

Origin Object Type for Plant Maintenance Orders in Profit Center Accounting

Hi,
I want to make a selection for plant maintenance orders in transaction KE5Z, report for line items in Profit Center Accounting. When checking possible input options for the selection field Origing Object Type the system shows value 15 for Maintenance Orders. However I discovered in our system the maintenance orders are reported as Origing Object Type 03, which is Overhead Orders according to the selection list. So I cannot distinguish between overhead orders and maintenance orders in this report.
What is the cause our maintenance orders are assigned to Origin Object Type 03 in stead of 15 and what is the customizing transaction to correct this ?

Looks like, this is no longer supported. Refer to note 168004 and 102434.
Cause and prerequisites
These functions were not programmed to meet the above requirements.
As of Release 4.0, the object type is transferred directly.
Solution
Once you have implemented the advance correction. the origin object type 'Overhead cost order' (03) is assigned irrespective of what is the SCOPE for orders.
As a result of implementing this note or as of Release 4.6B, the order category distinguishes between overhead cost orders and production orders in the origin object type. In this case, the following origin object types result (as described above in 1.):
Order category 04 to 10, 40 => 04 (production order)
All other order categories => 03 (overhead cost order)
The logic that the origin object type was set depending on the object class (as described above in 2.) is no longer supported. The object class can be evaluated separately in Reporting. -
The corrections of this note refer in Release 4.0B to the corrections from Note 102434.

Automatic release of plant maintenance order at Plant level

Dear All
I would like to release plant maintenance order automatically and would like to enable only for a specific plant.
Could you please suggest different options for this
Thanks in advance
Regards
Yogesh +48 500287949

Hi ,
There is no tcode for automatic release of Maintenance order . You have the below options :
1. Activate the user exit IWO10009 PM Order: Customer Check for 'Save' Event which checks for specific plant and status of order is not released then it would release automatically ..
2. Create a programme which runs as a batch job and this programme checks for PM Order and filters specific to plant and then filters the orders which are not released and then auto releases....The proramme should be set up as a batch job which runs at every 30min or etc..
this would give you some idea ..
