Re: equipment inventory

Could someone help.
Is it possible to use or configure the Oracle database 10g express edition
to run as a maintenance management system (database) for logging jobs and recording events against each equipt on the inventory.
I know that to use it as an asset register with financial controls for recharging of jobs again each respective department reponsible to the equipt will certainly be a big plus.
Your comments both positive or negative will be highly appreciated.

Oracle Express Edition is simply a database. You can write programs to manage any data-oriented purpose you can imagine.
You could say that 'writing programs' is 'configuring'.
Just realize that such configuring requires
- truly understanding what you want to accomplish (in detail - what you want to store, how you get it and what transitions are valid);
- understanding how the database can support your requirement
- using the configuration languages (SQL, PL/SQL and Application Express, Java, .Net and other) to implement the requirement
It is possible. But - based on your level of understanding - it may not be easy. (This is true whether you use XE or any other technology.)
Fortunately Oracle provides a lot of tutorials to help you with the second part. See http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/index.html

  • How to remove the default value of "Inventory No." in Equipment Master

    Hi Experts,
    Need your advise
    How to remove the default value for the field "Inventory No" in Equipment Master? It will goes back to the default value(TRANSIT) when i delete or change the value.
    Thank You
    Best Regards

    i think you cannot default this value from configuration, check is there any screen variant exist for your transactions IE01/IE02, else may be any user exit is active on the equipment master transactions.
    Take help of your ABAPer and verify the above.

  • SNMP - Setting up inventory system to gather Apple equipment information

    I'm working on setting up an inventory system to track our desktops, laptops, switches etc on our campus. I'm able to use WMI for the windows boxes and SNMP for the network devices. My main goal for the Apples is to use SNMP get the "system name" (done) and "serial number" (not done). For this, I know I'll need to enable SNMP on all the Macs and then I need a MIB/OID that helps me get to the the Serial number. At this point I've looked around as many places as I can and can't find a good MIB to help me get to that data. Assuming this data is there, can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks

    Can you provide a few more details about your plans?
    Windows cannot backup using Time Machine, so you'll need to look for a Windows backup program if you want to back up files on the XP laptop. The backup program will assume that you are using a drive formatted for Windows though, which the Time Capsule is not.
    It might be possible to store some files from the XP laptop on the Time Capsule, but life would be much, much easier if you added an inexpensive USB drive directly to the XP machine for your backups.
    The Time Capsule drive is formatted for Mac and you can't even "partition" the drive without removing it from the Time Capsule (voiding the warranty).
    When you get the new Mac laptop, you can start backing up to the Time Capsule using Time Machine.

  • Create new Equipment (t-code IE01) for existing asset

    HI Expert,
    I have an enquiry on equipment creation via t-code IE01 for existing asset. There are synchronization between Asset Master and Equipment Master which mean both sides will be updated during the creation and changes of master data.
    I have create new equipment master via t-code IE01 and has tagged to the existing asset. However after save the creation, new inventory number was generated to the asset master and had overwrite the existing inventory no. Is it because of the synchronization or it is a system standard?
    Your answer is highly appreciate.
    TQ.

    My configuration is "Direct Synchronization After Saving" for both master data (asset master & equipment master).
    However, I did not assign the Inventory No Field in asset master as a synchronization with equipment master, so how come system can re-generate new inventory no and overwrite the existing inventory no in the asset master? and what the solution if we do not want system re-generate new inventory no in asset master since it has been effected on the printing barcode sticker for the asset.
    Really appreciate your answer.
    TQ.

    Hi,
    Generally, Repair of Materials are handled via concept of Gate Pass (Returnable & Non-Returnable). But, SAP doesn't provide any option for creating Gate Pass (Returnable & Non-Returnable) in standard.
    Try the below suggested procedure as a work around process;
    Repair Process via Returnable Gate Pass: -
    1. MM01 - Create Material Master for every Spare Part / Machinery to be sent to Vendor for Repair as Non-Valuated (Material Type "UNBW") (Do not extend Accounting and Costing views since you don't require postings of Stock value and consumption values, you only want to track the Service/Repair Charges)
    It's not necessary to have materials as Non-Valuated always, it depends on your requirement.
    2. MIGO - Goods Receipt > Others (Receive the quantities of these materials using Movement Type 501 / 511) - Only if Stock of Material is not available.
    3. ME21N - Create Subcontracting PO (Here Main Material and Component will be same material)
    4. MB1B - Transfer Posting w.r.t. Subcon PO (Mvmt Type - 541, Spare Part stock will get posted to Vendor Stock)
    5. MB90 - Take Print out of this Material Doc as Returnable Gate Pass (U need to configure Message Determination of Inventory Mgmt)
    6. MIGO - GR against Subcon PO (101 - Receive Spare Part, 543 O - Consumption of Spare Part form Vendor Stock)
    7. MIRO - LIV for Service Charges w.r.t. Subcon PO
    Note: - If PM Module is implemented then use PM Order as origin of the Repair Process. If it is not then follow the above process.
    Else if you don't want to track the material stock then follow the Service Process Cycle
    1. ME21N - Create Service PO (With Item Category D and Account Assignment Category K )
    2. ML81N - Create Service Entry Sheet w.r.t. Service PO
    3. MIRO - LIV for Service Charges w.r.t. Service PO or Service Entry Sheet
    For Service Process, refer following link;

  • Equipment Status ESTO

    Dear Experts,
    I  want to send one material with serial number (Equipment) to vendor.For that i dismantled from respective location and moved to the store using 561 movement type.(Goods receipt against "other" in MIGO).Now i am sending the same to vendor using the MB11 (Movement type- 541.Stor location- XX01)
    That means i am moving the material from my storage location XX01.
    After i send, if i check the equipemt status, still its showing the status ESTO.Whether the status describes the material is lying in our warehouse or Vendor's warehouse? But its clearly indicating the vendorcode  in the Serial No. tab in IQ02.
    So the system must show the relevent status.
    Please reply.
    Regards,
    Prasanna

    hi prasanna
    541 mvt type is used in subcontracting purpose,it you do the transactive with 541 you can see the status of the material in MMBE T code where it will show material is in vendor premises,when you do the goods receipt the material inventory will reduce.you can check in the equipment master Edit>special serial no functionms>manual transaction  you can see the stock type

  • Table for Inventory Status for Serialized materials

    Hello,
    Can anyone please provide the table name for finding out inventory status (i.e. unrestricted, Quality Inspection, Blocked) for serial numbers. I am trying to find out, in which inventory status does a particular serial# belonging to a particular material# is in?

    Hello Azz:
    Regarding the serial number status, you have to check the combination of three different tables:                                                                               
    EQUI - Equipment master data. In this table make note of the field 'Object number' (OBJNR), which is the primary key for:                                                                               
    JEST - Individual Object Status. This table contains the technical expression of the status in field 'Object status' (STAT), which is the primary key for:                                                                               
    TJ02 - System status. In this table you can find the texts for the system status in the fields TXT04 and TXT30.
    Then, here you have some other tables which you might also need:
    EQBS - Serial Number Stock Segment.
    SER01 - Document Header for Serial Numbers for Delivery.                                                                               
    SER02 - Document Header for Serial Nos for Maint.Contract (SD Order). 
    SER03 - Document Header for Serial Numbers for Goods Movements.                                                                               
    SER04 - Document Header for Serial Numbers for Inspection Lot.                                                                               
    SER05 - Document Header for Serial Numbers for PP Order.                                                                               
    SER06 - Document Header for Serial Numbers for Handling Unit-Content. 
    SER07 - Document Header for Serial Numbers in Physical Inventory.                                                                               
    SER08 - Document Header for Purchase Order Item Serial Numbers. 
    I hope this helps!

  • Regarding an Item being "Expensed" or "Inventory" categorization

    Dear All,
    I am from an Engineering and Procurement based organization utilizing Oracle EBS as an ERP solution. As a engineering company, we maintain a lot inventory (below EBIDTA Line) in the form of tools, equipment etc. At the same time, as any company would include, we have lot of items which are expensed (above EBIDTA line).
    We are taking part in this transformation exercise within our company and modifying a lot of our existing oracle process flows. In midst of these changes, we have come up with a conclusion that no item created in oracle should categorized as "Expense" or "Inventory" at the time of creation. It should be the purpose of consumption which should categorize the item as "Inventory or Expense"
    However there is a contradiction from some of our peers that no item in oracle can be created without categorizing it as "Expense" or "Inventory" or "Asset".
    I consider that as a flaw in the system because no item in the system can be categorized at the time of creation but it should be nature of consumption of the item which should determine the category of item. This seems logical in business and systems process.
    However, I would be very much interested to hear from all you. Please advise if it is mandatory as per Oracle to categorize the item while creation.
    Sorry forgot to ask one more clarification, If a purchase order is raised with destination type as "inventory" or "expense", does it overwrite the item type and proceed with attaching the item type based on the destination type chosen ??

    Hi Sandeep,
    Thnx for ur timely reply, should I attach this category set to items in all INV orgs in that OU or only to items in that particular IO?

  • Serial Number / Customer equipment card capabilities

    Material Structure for Sales BOM  - Item A
    Item A = sales Item only, Non inventory, not purchases.  The item comprises of
    1 x Item B (serialised item on every transaction, and automatic customer equipment card creation).
    1 x Item C (serialised item on every transaction, and automatic customer equipment card creation).
    Item A for example is a box (which is not serialised), but Item B and C are components of A.  And it needs to be tracked that B and C belong to a specific/ unique A. That is, if we drill into the customer equipment card, how can we see that item B and C  are related to the parent item A (without drilling into the document from the equipment card). 
    When an delivery/AR invoice is created, customer equipment cards are automatically generated for Item B and C.  How can this be linked to A?

    Great idea.
    How can we also, create a unique reference for each time A is sold?  So that if a part B is returned and a new part  B replaced, the part can be linked to unique A?
    The reason for the requirement is that a client may purchase 2 A's (not serilaised A), and we want to track which B's and which C's relate to which A's. And if a B is replaced and another B, we want to track which A it related to.
    Thanks

  • Inventory Link to Fixed Assets

    Hi,
    I need some clarity on how the Oracle Inventory (INV) module is integrated with the Oracle Assets (FA) module.
    My understanding is that the Mass Additions integration to FA is only from Oracle Payables (AP) and Project Accounting (PA). If this is true and one is not implementing PA the only available link to FA would be from AP.
    In this scenario, I am stuck with a problem. Suppose 20 km of feeder equipment is purchased for a particular CIP and the Invoice entered in AP with the appropriate CIP Clg a/c, the Mass Addition line would appear in FA (presuming all the required conditions are fulfilled). This Mass Addition line can then be prepared and worked on in FA. However, if the organization purchases in bulk and stocks it in INV, it would be wrong to push it to FA from AP as CIP. As and when the issues take place to the CIP the lines should move to FA. However, in such a case AP would be effected only when the invoice is processed and not subsequently at the time of the issues. How does one handle this business scenario which is very common in the Telcom industry? Is having PA the only solution to link Inventory issues to FA?
    An early response to the issue would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Amit

    Check for three things:
    1) The distributiion account in Payables is a Asset clearing account
    2) Track as an asset flag is updated to "Yes"
    3) The Payables Invoice has been accounted and transferred to GL
