  • How do the function of some buttons in SAP PM maintenance order works?

    Dear experts,
    How do following buttons that appear on top of the SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) "Create Maintenance Order" (Tcode : IW31) works?
    1) Release
    2) Put in process
    3) Schedule
    4) Determine costs
    5) Settlement rule
    6) Permits
    regards,
    Abraham

    Dear Abraham,
    When the order attains the status REL then it means that the order is under process.
    This status will allow you to withdraw materials from the warehouse.
    Schedule:
    Normally we schedule the orders in PM which come under preventive maintenance.Here for each activity(daily,weekly,monthly...)
    we create a maintenance plan.This plan is then scheduled.At certain interval of time system will create the maintenance objects.
    Determine cost:
    If there are components added in the order.System will update the planned cost of these materials when you click on determine cost.
    Settlement rule:
    Here you define the account assignment which will accept the settled cost at the end of order processing.
    This can be a cost center,order etc.
    Permits:
    It is a sort of an agreemnet which you have before you close the order.Check this link for further insights.

  • How to change maintenance Strategy in Maintenance Planning?

    Hi Friends
    In our maintenance plan, maintenance plan additional data, maintenance strategy is defined as 3M6M. Within this strategy, maintenance cycles are defined. Now we want it to change  to  the maiintenance strategy, 2M that is bi monthly. How to do it?
    Do I need to chage it in the maintenance plan category? I am very new to PM. Pls explain.
    Thanks
    Sangeeta

    Dear,
    It is not possible to change the maintenance strategy once assinged to task list,other option just try in the task list select the operation and select the maintenace package ,here delesect all the maintenance package alloted and then try to change it.
    First delete all the operations in the task list ,then system wil allow you to change the maintenance strategy.
    Best way is to create new maintenace plan with new strategy.
    Hope clear to you.

  • Material master data maintenance strategy

    Hi,
    We are working on a global template to suggest Material master data maintenance strategy.
    Please suggest what could be various options for same.
    Regards,
    Avnish

    Hello,
    In the same situation now:
    1.  Suggestion is to load the Basic Data centrally, say from HQ
    2.  Other data can be loaded via the subsidiary in the different countries.
    3.  If required you can use a block or a material statu and have the HQ control the access to the other parts of the material master.
    For your information, we have come across a big issue regarding this and only now we have begun the above method as my client's HQ controls the release of materials into the market.

  • SAP's Release Strategy on R/3 LIS

    Hi All
    Dose someone can provide me information regarding SAP's Release Strategy on R/3 LIS? I heard sometimes ago that SAP is not going to support R/3 LIS in the future to promote BW report. Is there any document on this strategy?
    Thanks for help.
    Jessica

    Jessica,
    LIS is not supported ... further on it will be LO , however , I guess
    1. Existing LIS will anyway continue to work
    2. You could look at migrating the LIS structures / extractors created to LO...
    Will see if I can dig up any dope on the same...

  • IP11-Maintenance Strategy

    Dear all,
    Can anybody explain the importance and functions of  the fields " Initial" and "Subsequent" in the IP11 Maintenance strategy where we define the maintenance package.
    Explaining with the real time example will be very useful.
    Regards,
    Suresh.

    hi
    intial and subsequent function is same as Premilinary and follow up  buffer.which is used as days which system propose as buffer (safety) for start and fininsh without affecting the subsequent due dates of the particular package only.
    Preliminary Buffer
    The preliminary buffer specifies how long before the due date for the maintenance package the activities can be started, without the subsequent due dates being changed.
    You specify a preliminary buffer of 5 days for each maintenance package in the strategy.
    The planned date calculated by the system is September 30. The start date proposed in the maintenance order is therefore September 25.
    Follow-up Buffer
    The follow-up buffer specifies how long after the maintenance package is due the processing of the activities can be finished, without the subsequent due dates being changed.
    You specify a follow-up buffer of 5 days for each maintenance package in the strategy.
    The planned date calculated by the system is September 30. The end date proposed in the maintenance order is therefore October 5.

  • Maintenance Strategy-offset and float in days

    What is the offset and lead float in days and follow up float in days of maintenance strategy?

    Hi James,
    I might have given intrepretation in wrong way.
    Actually call horizon will be used for whole strategy. Its not package based.
    For example, monthly package should be called 3 days in advance & yearly package should be called 36 days in advance, etc., then call horizon can be defined. As all the packages are having same % of call object advancement (90 %), that percentage can be defined in call horizon.
    But in some case, monthly package 3 days advancement is acceptable to plan the resources. But for yearly packages, 36 days advancement in unneccessary. That will keep the outstanding orders list for long time. Thus when we dont have common % for call object advancement, instead of call horizon, these offsets can be defined in packages.
    Like for monthly package, define offset as 3 days. For yearly package, define offset as 10 days. So call object will be created in advance with reference to offset.
    In this case, call horizon is not required.
    I hope I am clear now,
    Regards,
    Maheswaran.
