Plant Maintenance to External Service Requirement (MM-SRV)

Hi,
Kindly tell me how to create a MM-SRV Purchase Requisition from Enterprise Asset Management (Plant Maintenance).
eg. A plant maintenance order (IW31) is created for repair of a transformer. It requires external service procurement with following structure.
Service Item D: Transformer repair
Limit 10,000 eur
Outline 10: Dismantling
Service Line 10: Junior Technician 5 hr, 10 eur
Service Line 20: Senior technician 3 hr, 15 eur
Outline 20: Cleaning
Service Line 10: Oiling 5 hr, 20 eur
Outline 30: Reassembly
Service Line 10: Junior Technician 15 hr, 10 eur
Service Line 20: Senior technician 10 hr, 15 eur
Kindly tell me how Purchase Requisition can be created with service structure from Plant Maintenance.
Thanks & Regards,
Ashish

In IW31, select the Order type. Select the Planning Plant.
give the main work center & Functionla location of performing the services
Click on the operations tab, select the Control Key PM03 Plant maintenance-External(services). Enter the operation short text. Select the line item & click on External Icon (at bottom of page)
Give the details such as material group, purchase group, Purchase organization , requisitioner.
Create the service lines & Save the data. Order gets created. goto IW32 & release the order.
PR can be viewed in Act. Data tab at the service lines.
Thanks & Regards

Plant Maintenanc External Service Requirement & stock material combination

Hi Experts,
We are implementing SAP Plant maintenance. In the external service requirement, the requirement is that there are some stock items which should be send to vendor with this service item. These items will be used in the service item for repairing the same.
I have created maintenance order with control key PM03 and by this we are selecting the service from service master. In this way we are creating the service pr but we are unable to put the material in that maintenance order which will be sent for this service item. If we are putting this material in component tab, a reservation is created with 261 movement which is not solving our purpose.
Please suggest me how to move forward on this issue.
Thanks in advance.
VT

Thanks for your reply,
But I am creating service PR through selecting the check box for sub contracting. After that I am putting material against Operation of External service. Reservation is generated for 543 movement but not allow to save and giving error message "Op. 0010 must have exactly one component as 'Rework Material to Subcontr.'"
Please suggest what should we do ?
Thanks

Plant Maintenance order and service order

Hi ,
Please let me know When we come Plant Main order and Service order.
Thanks

hi:
Customer Service is linked to Plant Maintenance module of SAP. Technically speaking SM/CS isn't a module. Primarily it uses parts of the PM and SD modules.
The PM module is used mainly for eqiopment, functional location, order, notifications, maintenance plans, etc (same as PM).
The SD module is used for billing, contracts, sales orders, etc.
The main interface between the PM and SD module is called Resource Related Billing (DP80, DP90, etc).
The Customer Service have a lot of process one of them is:
Create the notification IW51 -> create de Service Order -> create Quotation DP80 -> Modification Service Order IW32 Accept the Quotation once accept the system create automatic the sales order to copy of quotation -> and billing the sales order VF01.
Other process is:
Create the Notification IW51 -> create de Sales order -> and billing the sales order VF01.
Other Process is:
Create the notification IW51 -> create de Service Order -> create the sales order DP90 -> and billing the sales order VF01.
Other Process is:
Create a contract type WV VA41 -> create de Service Order -> create the sales order DP90 -> and billing the sales order or contract VF01.
Or
Create a sales order RA or RAS VA02 -> create de Service Order -> create the sales order DP90 -> and billing the sales order or contract VF01

Default GL account (cost element) for external service contracts

Hi everybody,
question about GL being defaulted from contract for external services
The requirement is to have GL (cost element) being defined per service sub item defaulting to work order. Account assignment is unknown, because the costs might be settled later to cost center or AFE or else.
You could default cost element either through material group (which doesn't enable cost element to contract) or with account assignment category 'K' or 'F' which do not suit, cause the former requires cost center, that is unknown yet, whereas the latter requires assignment to order which doesn't make sense at all. Theoretically, it could be done with acc assignment cat 'U' , but cost element is not enabled with that category..
I was assuming that cost center which you are required to enter along with cost element while creating service sub item referring to some sort of internal accounting. The system also requires service sub item acc assignment category being aligned with requisition (which is 'F') and would in fact create PR referrencing actual work order number. But still, doesn't it make sense having contract referencing another order.. Also, we don't use default values for PM ext operation data.
So, the question is how to accomplish the requirement with Unknown assignment category? what is the point of defining cost center in the contract in given circumstances? Is there any work around exists?
Thanks in advance
Sergey

Hi,
Try this: IMG -> Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -> Maintenance and Service Processing -> Maintenance and Service Orders -> Functions and Settings for Order Types -> Create Default Value Profiles for External Procurement.
After that assign it to order type: Default Values for Task List Data and Profile Assignments.

Catalog Interface (OCI) - Customizing for Plant Maintenance order ERP2005

Hello Experts,
we want to use the integration between SRM and ERP2005. In the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/5d/0eba5fa0084247acbb0c04cede18e8/frameset.htm">sap documentation</a>sap documentation I found the following:
'In the Customizing for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service or in the Customizing for Project Systems, you entered the required data about the catalog that you want to connect to the SAP R/3 system. You can find the corresponding IMG activities under Interface for Procurement Using External Catalogs (OCI).'
However I can`t find this IMG activities in our ERP2005 system.
What`s wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Hi! Additional we had to generate the img new.
Unfortunaetly I haven`t a idee how does this work. (Our sap basis did this.)
Through the assign from catalog to order type, I think it nessary to use the pm-img-activities...

Advantage of using External service mgt

Dear All,
Can any one tell me, what is the advantage of using service master(external service mgt) over creating service as a material in material type DIEN?
Your input will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
sahu

Hello, Sahu
Before explaining the advantages of ESM, i want to clarify you about the DIEN (which is a standard material type for SERVICES)
Material type DIEN is for Services
Services can be performed internally or procured externally (outsourced). They cannot be stored or transported.
Services can be
-> Construction Services (like Centring, Shuttering) work
-> Cleaning services (House keeping)
-> Tax Consulting (Taxation for finance matters to company)
Suggestion: You can create service master for the above mentioned services using the DIEN material type. But as we know that services CAN NOT BE STORED or Transported physically. Because Service (it's just a text which indicated what service to be performed by the vendor /external supplier, that you will be mentioning in PO when you create service PO) can only be measured through PERFORMANCE (i.e, through Activity based, i mean depending upon the ACTIVITY).
That is Activity based Services can only be recorded, maintained and measured (i.e, Performances for each different activity) accurately through ESM.
like, Service master record
Standard service catalog,
Service PO,
Service Entry sheet.
And the Purpose and Advantages of the ESM is as follows:
This section provides a general introduction to MM External Services Management.
It provides an overview of the functionality, shows how MM External Services Management is integrated into the Purchasing application within the Materials Management module, and indicates the interfaces to other applications.
Purpose
MM External Services Management (MM SRV) is an application component within the Materials Management (MM) module. It supports the complete cycle of bid invitation, award/order placement phase, and acceptance of services, as well as the invoice verification process.
Features
MM External Services Management provides a basic process for the procurement of externally performed services. This basic process comprises the following functionality:
Service master records, in which descriptions of all services that may need to be procured can be stored. In addition, a standard service catalog and model service specifications are available.
A separate set of service specifications can be created for each concrete procurement project in the desired document (e.g. PM maintenance plan or maintenance order; PS network; MM purchase requisition, RFQ, contract, purchase order, or service entry sheet).
Service specifications can include items representing materials in addition to those representing services or activities.
When creating voluminous sets of service specifications, you need not laboriously enter each individual service manually. Instead, you can make use of the referencing technique and the selection function to copy quickly and simply from existing master data and documents.
MM External Services Management offers two basic ways of specifying services:
As planned services with description, quantity, and price.
By "planned services" we mean services whose nature and scope is known to you at the start of a procurement project or transaction.
At the time the services are requested, the individual specifications are entered either with the aid of a service master record or directly as short and long texts. Price and quantity are specified in both cases.
As unplanned services with the setting of a value limit only.
By unplanned services, we mean services that cannot be specified in detail because their precise nature and scope are not initially known, or services which - for various reasons - you do not wish to plan. Unplanned services therefore have no descriptions.
They are entered in the form of monetary limits. Services may be performed up to a value not exceeding these value limits. This allows you to exercise a degree of cost control in such situations.
You can analyze data already available in the system in order to find suitable sources of supply for certain services.
You can also carry out a bid invitation process and evaluate the bids submitted in response using the price comparison list function. You can then award a contract to (or place an order with) the desired vendor.
During the phase of service performance (execution of work), various lists and totals displays enable you to retain an up-to-date overview of your service specifications, the progress of the work, and the costs being incurred.
You can record the performance of services or work in service entry sheets.
You can indicate your acceptance of the work set out in the entry sheets in various ways.
Following acceptance, the vendors invoice can be verified and released for payment.
As an alternative to this basic process, various accelerated and simplified processes are made available to you for use if desired in connection with specific procurement transactions.
Integration
MM External Services Management is completely integrated into the Materials Management system. The master data for the procurement of services can be stored in service master records, for example, which subsequently provide default data for the purchasing documents. Service specifications for a concrete procurement project are not created and processed separately each time (e.g. as bid invitation or contract specifications), but entered directly in the purchasing documents (e.g. in a request for quotation, quotation, purchase order or contract).
The following graphic demonstrates the degree of integration of MM External Services Management:
The External Services Management component is linked to the SAP modules PM Plant Maintenance and PS Project System. As a result, it is possible to create purchase requisitions for external services within the framework of maintenance measures or a project and then transmit them to Purchasing without incurring additional data maintenance work.
The interaction of the R/3 modules MM, PS and PM, CO and FI saves time and effort and reduces the frequency of errors. This is because data need be entered once only, after which it is available for all follow-on activities within a business process.
An example of the integration of MM and CO is purchase order commitments. The expected value of unplanned services is forwarded to CO from within MM so that a commitment figure can be established and monitored. This enables the relevant budget for procurement measures to be prepared in good time.

Update Prices on External services.

Dear users,
In one of our requirements, when we create a maintenance order in IW31, we need to ensure that the prices on the External services are updated according to the price of the Vendor.
If that did not make any sense, then here's the detailed description:
On creating an Order, we determine the Vendor to be put on the External tab of the Operation. At this stage, a list of External services required are populated and we need to update the price as per the rates offered by this vendor. Through transaction, all we do is select the Service and click on Conditions button (button with a $ and ¥ sign!
Thanks,
Vijay.

Agreed,
But in some cases the prices are negotiated by month. This mean that if you plan some work in January at 100Euros, but don't perform the work until February, then the price may have changed to 120Euros.
Since this is the agreed contract price, then the PO needs to be updated...
They may need to create a bespoke ABAP program which searches for the inconsistencies

Plant maintenance Iviews

Hi Gurus,
Can we use Business Package Assets to create Plant maintenance iviews?
Joseph
Edited by: Anja Engelhardt on Oct 13, 2011 9:10 AM

Hi joseph,
You can use this iView to display maintenance-related objects (such as equipment, functional locations, materials, measurement documents, and so on) in the Asset Viewer.
The Asset Viewer is a display tool that enables simple navigation through complex object relations. You can navigate flexibly within and between objects.
You can also use object navigator which is a reusable display tool that has been integrated into this iView.
You can specify which object types can be viewed in the structure view in Customizing for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service under> Maintenance Roles> Maintenance Worker --> Asset Viewer -->Specify Objects for Structure View.
Thanks&Regards
