Replacing a active counter in a maintenance plan

Hopefully someone can help....
I have a strategy plan that schedules off a counter. Now this same counter is used in various other plans so I don't want to replace it. I just want to pull it from the current plan, and replace it with a new counter I created. Any ideas?
Thanks
Josh

Hi ,
If you do not want to go for user exit then you can also get it using transcation variants via tcode SHD0 ... for IP41 /IP02/IP42/IP43 Tcodes ..
Search this forum for steps as it was discussed many times ..

Counter in Maintenance Plan

Dear All,
i´m not sure. Is it advisable to use a own counter for each maintenance plan and is it better to create a own performance-based maint. plan for each equipment?
Thanks for your help!
Andreas

Actually, it depends on your requirement. A counter is created for an equipment and when you create a maintenance plan with performance based units in the cycle, the counter is automatically proposed from the equipment master data based on the unit mentioned in the cycle or performance based strategy.
You can create a single maintenance plan for multiple equipments using multiple maintenance items but for this, you need to ensure that all of the performance based units are the same for all equipments and the cycle length/strategy cycles is the same for all such equipments.

Measuring Point in Maintenance Plan

How can I link a measuring point (not a counter) to the Maintenance Plan?
Currently, I can only link a counter to a Maintenance Plan but not a measuring point.
The reason why I am asking for this is that I would like to trigger automatic creation of a work order whenever a measurement reading for an equipment goes outside the specified upper and lower limit of a measuring point. I would like to define a condition in the maintenance plan for this based on the measuring point say for example temperature.
I believe activating userexit IMRC0001 is just part of the solution. Is there something else that needs to be done?
Thanks.
Giscard

I have already activated userexit.
Is it correct that the userexit is triggered upon saving a measurement reading (tcode IK11)?
Do you have sample code for the userexit so that a Notification or Work Order will automatically be created when the reading entered is outside the upper and lower limit?
But my questions actually is this - Is possible to link a measurement point (not a counter) to a Maintenance Plan?

Measuring points in maintenance planning

Hi,
Can we use measuring point(not a counter) for preventive maintenance planning. for example - i need to perform the operation when a color of oil is changed from yellow to black. is it possible through measuring point?. it is possible means please share that procedures.
Regards
sathish

Hi Satish,
Yes, it is possible to generate a maintenance notification if the measuring point reading is not as per standards or target value. You require a user exit IMRC0001 to IMRC0005. Also read documentation for these user exits in tcode SMOD.

Maintenance Plan with Counter

Dear All,
I have the following requirement, would be of great help if you can help me get the solution:
Their is a pump which is to be maintained. The orders need to be generated on the basis of two parameters:
1. Number of hours the pump has ran. This can be recorded against measuring point.
2. Number of calendar days elapsed.
The maintenance order should be created which ever condition is met first. For example: Every 200 hrs the pump runs, a maintenance order should be created also if the time elapsed is 2 months the order should be created. Now whatever of the above two comes first the order should be created against that only.
Can anyone please tell how to achieve this.
I have thought of two options though they dont look good:
Option 1: Create two maintenance plan. Delete/TECO the extra order generated.
Option 2: Create one maintenance plan with multiple counters, one for running hours and the other for calendar days. Keep OR relation. But here we need to update calendar days counter every day which is not feasible.
Thanks
Geravine

Hi...
First of all you have to create the Measuring Counter for your Pump using the T.code IK01 and then post the initial measurement document against the measuring counter using T.code IK11.
After above create the Cycle set for Multiple counter using T.Code IP11Z, and define the Cycle for your Multiple Counter Plan.
In your condition, define the cycle length as "2" and UOM as "MON" and second cycle length as "200" and UOM as "HRS" and also provide the short text for Cycle short text as per you convenience. This is one time activity.
Then create the Multiple counter Plan using the T.Code IP43 and cycle set created in earlier step. Provide the Technical Object i.e. Pump (Most probably Equipment) all other details are copied from it. Enter the created Measuring Counter for your Technical Object in the Maintenance Plan Cycle Tab against the 200 Hrs Row in Counter Columns. In the Second Tab i.e. Maintenance Plan scheduling parameter Choose "OR" Link . Enter the value Scheduling Period which help you to show the future plan in advance.
And as per requirement you can also check the box available for Completion Requirement, Check the box if you required that New Maintenance Order will not be generate until the previous order is get closed.
Hope this will resolve your query

Changing a cycle in an active maintenance plan

Hello All,
I received a request from an end user to make a change to an active maintenance plan. The plan has a 3mo cycle. The users would like to first, generate a call for March 2011 and second, to change this to a an annual cycle. I am able to use the 'Restart in Cycle' to generate a call in March, unfortunately, I am not able to figure out how to change the cycle from 3mo to 12mo. Is it possible for to change the plan cycle from 3mo to 12mo once the plan is started? The header section in IP10 is grayed out.
At the moment, it looks as though I need to create a new maintenance plan to accommodate the request.
Thanks in advance.
Anna

Mahee,
Appreciate your quick response. This was a strategy plan and I was able to make the changes as you had suggested, through the task list.
Thank you so much for your help!

Maintenance plans for Backward counter

Is it possible for having a preventive maintenance plan for a measurement point that counts backwards?
Your inputs on this will be appreciated!

Help !
I am looking for help with Counters and Timers and using them with a Maintenance Plan. We have about 10 count down timers mounted in one of our facilities. These timers are tied to the machine and measures the time until a mini or major PM will occur. These count down timers were previously used with the old CMMS system to assist in the scheduling of maintenance activities. We have recently converted them from the old CMMS to SAP PM but I am struggling with getting the count down timers to work in SAP. These timers are reset at 5000 hrs and as the machine operates, time is removed from the timer. A technician periodically reports these times to the system for scheduling purposes.
I have created the Measurement Point for a Functional Location.
I have identified that it is a counter.
I have it identified that it Counts Backwards.
When I try to assign this measurement point to a Maintenance Plan, I get the error "Only counters that run forwards can be entered"
How can I use the countdown timers to create pre configured (PM) work orders?
Thanks in advance.

Now my question is is there any need to shedule maintenance plan?
Please tell me process of counter base maintenance plan.

Hi
   Maint plan for coutner
           Create the maintenance plan with maintenance strategy(IP11) which suits the performance parameter. Assign proper maintenance item to maintenance plan.
If only one measurement point is created for technical object then it will be automatically picked up otherwise select appropriate among the available once. Set the scheduling parameter according to requirement & specify the start reading. Start reading is in reference to which maintenance plan starts scheduling.
Example: Maintenance cycle is 90 run hrs., Start reading is 6 hrs and annual estimation given in measurement point = 360 Hrs (1hrs/day). Scheduling period = 365 day. Current Measuring point reading = 1 hrs on 1st Jan 06.
Schedule plan on 1st Jan 06.
Call no.     @Hrs     @Date
1     6+90=96     1st April 06
2     96+90 = 186     1st July.
System schedule call date based on annual estimation and its keep on shifting as counter reading increases with time. System will trigger the call object on schedule date even if measurement reading will not reach the specified value.
Scheduling of maintenance plan
Once maintenance plan is created it needs to be scheduled at regular interval. Single plan can be scheduled by IP10 and Multiple plan by IP30. (Called Deadline monitoring) This can be done manually or batch job can be created.
hope this will help. also please refere saphelp.com for further info

In this case system check both pland date and next planned counter readind and generate   the maintenance order on the call date although next planned counter reading not reach uptpo the planned counter.
But our clint want the maintenance order on next planned counter reading only not on call date please help me the any solution for fullfilling the requirment.
Raghav

Hi Raghav,
Maintenance order will be generated on counter reading entered in measuring document only.
It is the annual estimate because of which we can see the planned & call dates, which are used for maintenance planning purpose.
Call date and plan dates keep on changing according to measurement documents creation. You create the any measurement document against the same counter which used in plan and see whether dates changes or not.
Dates get changed on counter reading and hence order is generated on counter reading only, not on the dates shown in scheduling as dates are dependent on counter reading.

Counter based maintenance plan triggered improperly

Hi,
we have created one counter based maintenance plan with cycle unit 1000 hours offset unit 0 hours this plan was created on 21.04.2008 . But 68 orders triggered on 19.04.2011 why it was happend.
how find start of cycle reading for the Maintenance plan?
Regards
Ganesh

Hi,
Counter based plan will work based on the Measuring point assigned to that.
In Measuring Point, you would have defined the Annual Estimate. Based on the Annual Estimate & Cycle value in Plan & Scheduling period in the plan, based on all these, call object would be generated.
