Plant Section in SAP

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,
    Tika

    Thanks 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

  • Plant section

    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.

  • 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
    George

    George,
      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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • How do I get ALL the info records for a materials plants using an SAP FM?

    I need to get all of the info records from the EINE table for a material - all of its sites (plants, we are using SAP retail).
    The problem is this:  I call the FM MD_INFORECORDS_READ - here is the code for my call:
    CALL FUNCTION 'MD_INFORECORDS_READ'
              EXPORTING
                imatnr               = t_output_data-article <-- the material number
                iliefnr              = lv_eina_key < -- see below on how I get this
              importing
                eeine                =
              TABLES
                exp_eina             = it_eina
                exp_eine             = it_eine
              EXCEPTIONS
                no_eina_record_found = 2
                no_eine_record_found = 3.
    lv_eina_key is taken from this call:
    SELECT SINGLE altkn INTO lv_vendor_no
            FROM lfb1
            WHERE lifnr = lv_site (plant)
            AND bukrs = t_output_data-company_code.
    The probelm is it only returns the first record it finds for each site.  There could be multiple info records, each one based a a different Valid From date for each site.  I need either ALL of the EINE records for each site OR the most current one
    I know I am not using ALl of the parms in the FM - but are there  maybe there are other ones should I be using.
    Perhaps there is there another FM I should be using - cause I do not have the info record number to pass. 
    Thanks.
    Scott

    Never mind - the FM does work - this was bad data.

  • IORDER01 IDoc is sent without plant code from SAP ECC

    Hi MEINT experts,
    Does anyone experience before on the service order integration between SAP ERP and SAP ME, somehow the IORDER01 IDoc is sent over with empty plant code embedded in the original document? (where we suppose to see <WERKS> data tag is attached to the IDoc sent over from SAP ECC). This has resulted to the corresponding IDoc is not able to process by MEINT due to empty plant code.
    Please advice how to resolve this if you have done that before.

    Hi,
    Once the issue stems from ERP side of integration process, this question should be either re-posted to ERP-related forum or submitted as a customer ticket against PP-MES component.

  • Create "Tab Control" like the news section in sap-corporate-portal

    Hello everyone,
    my name is akan korul and i'm a student working with the enterprise portal (EP 6.0) for about two weeks.
    about my problem:
    I want to create a tab control (tabstrip) similar to the sap corporate portal news section. How could i realize this very nice object? I was searching for similar threads but i think the creation of the tabcontrol via html is not a suitable solution. Any other ideas?
    I need this tab control to display our weekly company menu in a separate section.
    Thank you very much in advance to everyone.
    With best regards

    Hello Detlef,
    thank you very much for your suggestion and your helpful answer. Maybe I have to specify my problem a little bit:
    I want to create a very simple TabExplorer with following structure:
    Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday
    Each day contains the menu (lunch) and some other informations, which has to be maintained by the employee himself.
    @Detlef: Thank you for the information but is there just an easier way to realize this?
    apologize these questions but I'm an absolutely newbie on this topic :-).
    With best regards / Grüße
