Plant Section Creation
Hello,
I have a query regarding plant section creation.
I wanted to create a Plant Section which i did from SPRO>Plant Maintenance & Cus service> Maintenance plan orders, work cntres task lists> Basic Setting>Define Plant Section and then added Plant - ABCD , Plant Section - 300 and Person Responisble.
Just wanted to know apart from process mentioned above, any thing we need to do more in terms of connfig setting or any other impact we need to analyse. Or this is the only setting we require for plant section creation
Best Regards
Himanshu
Hi
Better way if You can define Plant Section in SPRO - Master Data which is more logical path (However what you hv done is also correct )
The Path in SPRO - Master Data in Plant Maintenance & CS ---Technical Objects --General Data - Define Plant Section
Apart from that you don't need to do anything in SPRO for plant section.
Your created Plant section are ok for using in other transactions.

Plant section mandatory in particular notification type
Hi,
how can i make plant section in location tab in notification for particular notification type . I tried in oial in influencing for notification type but could not find this ?
Pl suggest
ArmaanPM and CS->Maintenance and service processing->maintenance and service notification->Notification Creation->Notification types->set field selection for notifications
You have to use notificaton type as influencing field.
Transaction code for notification is OIAL and please ensure the notification has the location tab added.
Use function module SAPMILA0 (PM: Subscreen 'Location and Account') for influencing field.

How can we define plant section field as a authorization object?
Hi Expert
I checked plant section field by t-code S_BCE_68001412( By Field, Text ) and confirm it isn't a authorization object, But in real business we have defined different plant sections and we want to control user actions by this field, how can we get to this point, Pls show me some lights.
Best regards
GeorgeGeorge,
You could potentially achieve the same with the help of the "Authorization group" field on the equipment master.You could create Authorization groups equivalent to plant sections and assign the same to the equipment master, whenever the plant section is populated. You could then use the standard Auth object "I_BEGRP Authorization group" to control the access to that specific record.

Below is SAP definition of Plant section.
Define Plant Sections (PS)
You define your plant sections in this step.
The plant section enables you to subdivide the maintenance plant from the point of view of production responsibility. The person responsible for the plant section is the contact for coordination between production and plant maintenance.
The plant section can be used for evaluation purposes.
Every piece of equipment and functional location can be assigned to a plant section.
Note
You can also specify a plant section when processing maintenance tasks.
Q1- What is the mean of " subdivide the maintenance plant from the point of view of production responsibility" ?
Q2- What we achieve by the statement "The person responsible for the plant section is the contact for coordination between production and plant maintenance."
Q3- for what tye of report or KPI it will help ?
Scenario: In on Plant Location there are 3 different lines of production , exm (JUICE, JAM and Biscuit)
For Juice line there is Filling --- Printing ---Packing --- Out
For Jam line there is Filling --- Printing ---Packing --- Out
For Biscuit there is Backing ----- Packing ---- Out
Individual process line have individual process supervisor under once maintenance department as mechanical, electrical etc...
As per the above scenario please help me what will be the best to go for Plant section.Your maintenance plant can be 1000 under which you have 3 plant sections (Juice, Jam and Biscuit lines). Individual supervisor can be the Person responsible. His role as told in the definition indicates the integration activities between PM and PP (production) modules. Like the SAP maintenance objects (Maint Order) and SAP production objects (Prod Order) can not go simultaneously or with overlaps on Equipments/FLocns. SAP keeps provisions for industrial processes integration between funtions for fool-proofing, but many users do not make use of them. The PP work Center field given in the Location tab of Technial Objects play a role in the integration in the PM and PP processes.
At our implementation we used Plant sections as I mentioned above. 14 production lines so 14 Plant sections, but did not make use of Person Responsible field, because we have coordination outside SAP. These things have wide scope of interpretation as per their usages by different users. So wait for more expert opinions.

Master Data Text for Infoobject Plant Section
Hi Experts,
I've changed the standard Infoobject of Plant Section (0PLANTSECTN), so the master data (text & attribute) is active now.
My question is: Does SAP BW provide the standard business content for master data of 0PLANTSECTN?
Coz i've checked it on RSA5, but the datasource is not exist.
Thanks for helping, hope you could give me some enlightenment
Warm Regards,
TikaThanks for ur answer Swapnil..
So the only thing i can do is create a custom DS and load the data (text) via Flat File? Or is there any way else to load the master data text?
As I know, loading data from flat file is only can be done manually. The problem is, i have to make sure, that data in BW is always relevance with data in ECC. Hence, i need the standard DS. So i could load it directly from ECC.
Am very appreciate, if any of u could share the best way.
Thanks -
I think the field Plant Section is not useful for PMers. I could not identify a convincing application. Everything that we have seen is supported by FL, subequip, .... I hope you have any suggestions.
I have a concern that is using it without seeing a problem in integration with other modules and this cause future problems. All the time I think it is a field of PP module.Hi
We can use plant section for following purpose only.
Suppose you are working in Mfg company where some eqipments work in shifts say 8 hr, 16 hrs , 24 hrs like this. Now if you want there down time calculations , in standard each equipment works for 24 hrs so you will not get exact down time if your equipment is working only for 8 hrs or 16 hrs.
Kindly reward some points if you find this information relevant.

Hi all,
I have a requirement to create about 150 new plant codes in the system.Is there any LSMW for this?If so please tell the transaction code relating to it and also LSMW name.Also,please let me know if a BDC is a better approach?
Thanks,
RamyaHi,
As per the Standard SAP we don't have the option for Mass creation of Organizational data like Plant, Company code etc.
Because for Plant there are lot of tables will be affected, so you need to create them individually in OX10

Creation of excise invoice before billing document
Hello Experts,
Our user is creating excise invoice for xyz material (own manufactured products) dispatched from the plant after creation of the commercial invoice.
Now it is required to create the excise invoice before creation of billing documents.
How this is to be done? suggestions please.
Regards,
RajFirst, U Need to Change the SPRO Setting Like Below:
In VTFL, you should maintain both copy controls for
u2022 Delivery (LF) --> Proforma (F8)
u2022 Delivery (LF) --> Commercial Inv (F2)
Once you do PGI, in VF01, you have to select manually the billing type F8 and save the proforma. Based on this proforma, when you access J1IIN, system will ask for Billing document reference where you can input proforma reference.
Creation of Proforma Invoice is required for the creation of Excise Invoice for Sale.
The transaction codes are :- VF01 :- for creation of Proforma Invoice
VF02 :- for change of Proforma Invoice
VF03 :- for display of Proforma Invoice
While creating Proforma Invoice the Billing Type to be changed to u201C Pro Forma Invoice for Delivery u201C as shown in the screen shot and then Delivery Number to be entered in u201CDocument u201C field . After executing and Saving the transaction Proforma Invoice will be generated.
So restriction in Authorization is required to allow only Billing Type u201C Pro Forma Invoice for Delivery u201C for those who will prepare Proforma Invoice .

Hi
I am an ABAPer trying to solve an MM problem, so please bear with me
We have a situation where we do inter company transactions between some of the companies in our system. This is automated, and worked well from Purchase order through to invoicing (via EDI).
However, we have two plants in company A supplying products to two other companies, let's call them companies B and C. Initially we had two vendors set up - one for each plant in company A. This is obviously not correct, but it worked For each of these vendors we could set up a delivering plant in the Vendor master data. This is then stored in table T001W, and pulled though onto the EKKO record (field RESWK - delivering plant) when a PO was created.
When we created PO's from companies B and C we would simply choose the Vendor (i.e. effectively the plant), according to the material to be supplied (some materials are available at one plant and not the other).
As I said, this worked well.
The financial guys however decided to stop this by saying that since the two plants in company A belong to the same company, they should both belong to one vendor - they are not separate business entities. They therefore closed the two vendor accounts initially assigned to the two plants, and opened a new 'joint' one, under which the two plants should therefore be.
The problem with that is then that we cannot assign just one plant to the Vendor on the master data, since there are two plants in this company at this point, and possibly more in future. And if we do assign one of the two to that new Vendor, when we create a PO and do inter company transactions with that PO, then the transactions can only come from one plant, and never the other. As I said, this is a problem, since certain materials are only available in one of the plants, and others in the other.
I have tried (with a BADI) to change the delivering plant on PO creation (SAP does not allow you to do this) and also to change the delivering plant on creation of the delivery that refers to the PO, but neither option works. I also looked at the definition of the PO fields in SPRO, to see whether I can show the delivering plant on the PO for the user to fill in, but again - no joy.
At this stage I figured that there might be some config that needs to be done. Does anyone know of a solution for the above?
Thanks in advance,
Best regardshi
if i am understanding you correctly then this is my solution to your problem.
you want the two plants in the vendor to be included. there is one question for you. are the materials common in the both plants?
if not then you can treat these plants as vendor subranges and then assign one plant to each subrange. the only thing is that the subrange is defined for exclusivity. i will elaborate it with my skills. see one vendor has two plants and each manufactures its own set of products but both are under same company code. in this case you take these plants as vendor subrange. the advantage of using this is that each plant is treated as different vendor but the same accounting is followed for the vendor since same company code for the plants and we got only one vendor account in our records.
if yes then i don't know what to do. i am watching this thread and would appreciate if anyone gives more knowledge about this issue.
if this solves your problem revert it back. -
Plant Maintenance Reports & Report Writer/Painter
Has anyone ever used Report Painter or Report Writer to produce SAP Plant Maintenance Reports? If so, what was your experience in using this tool and how difficult is it to produce reports?
The report that needs to be generated is for overdue PM orders (PM09) ....these are scheduled preventive maintenance orders.
We need to be able to determine if they are completed and if they are on time. This report needs to have the flexibility to choose the following
Functional Locations
Equipment
Plant sections
Main Work Center
Basic finish date / Planned Date / Overdue date (to be determined)
Maintenance Plan
Maintenance Activity Type
Group
We need to be able to run a chart from this data to show how many PM's are behind, how many were completed on time compared to the requirements, and any other chart that would be available (i.e. pie, line, bar etc.).
Thanks
RuthieHi,
