Scheduling plant maintenance

Hi
I need for information about how to create or scheduling plant maintenance.
Schedule preventive, predictive & corrective how can maintain in PM module.
Ram Rathode

Hi,
In preventive maintenance scenario following are the things :-
1) Creation of task list (for Equipment or Functional Location or General).
2) Creation of maintenance plan (for Equipment or Functional Location or General).
3) Attaching maintenance task list to the maintenance plan created.
4) Scheduling of the maintenance plan for creation of maintenance orders (Call Objects).
5) Maintenance/Breakdown order proceeding ( notification,planning,scheduling,execution,completion)
There are following types of maintenance :
1) Single cycle maintenance planning.
2) Strategy plan ( Time based & Performance based )
3) Condition based maintenance planning.
4) Project based maintenance planning etc.

Scheduling and external scheduling in plant maintenance

hi expert ,
can you explain the scheduling in plant maintenance step by step beside external scheduling and how to made the external scheduling in IDS system also i read the sap help links about external scheduling and add the external scheduling in the order type pm01 and add the:
Function Module PM_ORDER_EXTERN_SCHED_DIALOG in Configure Communication in the (D: For scheduling in dialog with external scheduling) should be dialog box Scheduling agreement appears after the order has been scheduled and this is not appear and information message (Link to the scheduling system could not be built) is appear.
is any configuration missing.
thanks sadin

Hi,
I understand you want to practice in IDES. But to work with external scheduling you need a third party system that performs the scheduling. The idea of this type of scheduling is that the SAP ERP system interfaces with this other system (for example Click Software). It is this interfaced system that calculates the scheduling dates and passes them back to SAP.
Without such a third party system you cannot perform external scheduling. You error does indicate that it cannot communicate with such a system:

Plant Maintenance Schedule Calls not creating Maintenance Order

Hi,
I have created a maintenance plan that is schduled on a weekly basis. This worked fine initially but now calls are not being generated and therefore no orders are also being generated. The process I used is:
1. Create Equipment
2. Create Task List
3. Create Maintenance Item
4. Create Maintenance Plan
5. Schedule Maintenance Plan
Can you help?
Also can you tell me which program you use to create orders for an entire maintenance planning plant, I know IP10 can be used for maintenance plans? For example you schedule your maintenance plans but I assume a periodic job must run to actually create the orders

Hi Gary,
I had an issue with calls not being generated and was browsing similar issues when I came across yours. I note that you also asked how you could create orders for a whole maintenance planning plant.
This can be done by using the sort field on a maintenance plan. You need to define sort fields (config) for the maintenance plans for each of the plants required and then insert them on each plan. You can then use the sort field as a selection when scheduling.
Hope this helps.

Pur Req via Plant maintenance order

Hi,
When Non stock item is assigned to a Plant Maintenance order, A purchase requisition is created automatically for that item.
During the creation of purchase requision it is required to enter goods recipient and unloading point( few fields are made mandatory)
Issue: At this stage we are giving planne delivery time and GR processing time.
But when we check the Purchase req for that item, Only GR processing time is considered not Planned delivery time.
Please provide your suggestion, why planned delivery time is not considered for scheduling of purchase req.
Thanks and regards,
Nataraj

Hi!,
I think you should check the operation control key you are using. Whether that key allows 1. Externally processed opearation 2. allows the scheduling of externally processed operation. If both are true then it will take the standard values defined for that opearation for scheduling. if 2nd is not true then it will schedule as per planned delivery time.
I think this will solve your problem.

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
Ruthie

Hi,
the fields that you want in ur report must be available in ur operating concern data structure,,,
pls check if the characteristics and the value fields that you require is available in the data structure,,,
check KEA0 transaction..

hi Navin,
I will explain u measurement document.
there are there steps
1. cerate, change ,display characteristics (trxn ct04 )
2. create ,change display measuring point ik01,ik02.ik03.
3. create,change ,display measurement document ik11, ik12, ik13.
in characterstics u define data type ,unit of measure , status and all other details.
you can assign number of measuring point /counter in master data of equipment
by selecting goto>measuring points/counter.
Or directly through traxn ik01 by specifing equipment number.
if it is measuring counter do not forget to tick checkbox "measuring pt is counter"
in mesurement document u will enter actual reading taken.
e.g. for hydraulic pressure of an pump
characteristics is pressure
measuring point is hyd pump
and in measurement document u will enter pressure reading in time to time.

Plant Maintenance - Doubts in Task List Creation

Hai,
This is the first time that I am doing some configuration regaring Plant Maintenance Module.
Scenario:
There is an equipment which has a Plan for maintenance. Support there are 8 maintenance activities which have to be carried for that equipment in an year. Each of this activity will be carried out in different periods. Some of them will have to be done once in a year. Some may be done once in 6 months.
But all the acitivities will not be carried out at the same time.
Can anyone tell me how this can done?. Should we create separate Task Lists for all the 8 activities and subseqently create a Maintenance Plan for each of them or Create one single Task List which has all the 8 activities by giving Operation nos. In th second case how to create Maintenance Plan for each of the individual Line item in a Task List and how can it be linked.
In the first case can a single Task list be incremented by a Group Counter which can have the individual operation so that a Maintenance Plan can be created for individual Task List incremented by a Group Counter.
In both the cases can someone give me the procedure.
Please throw some light on this subject.
Regards,
R. Vijayakumar

Dear Vijaykumar,
Jus follow the below steps..
Step-1
T-code IP11, Create maintenance Startegy with all required frequencies like 1, 2 3 4 u2026 12 months
Step-2
In T-Code IA01, On general header view screen .Enter the datas like Work center, usage, status. Select ur required Maintenance Strategy which u already created.
GO to operation tab , enter ur list of operations one by one (all 8 operations).
Select all operations and click Mntpack icon on bottom of screen , On package overview screen u can able to select different operation at different frequencies jus tick box and save
Step-3
In T-Code IP42, select the maint strategy which u have assigned already and fill required details and select Task list which u have created in previous step (link is available in bottom screen) & Save.
Step-4
In T-Code IP10, schedule the Maintenance Plan
Now you will get the Maintenance orders automaticaly based on package u defined and schedule date.
Revert back me in case if u have any doubt on this cycle. Else close this thread.

Dear All,
Can anyone share some links or materials regarding the PM module.
I have checked the help.sap reference. but since I dont have experience & practical knowledge regarding this module I am finding a bit difficult to follow. So please advice how to start with ?
Materials with the basics structure & Process flow in PM Or if someone can explain the PM process flow like the PR-LIV flow in MM it will be really very helpful.
Also if you can provide details regarding the SDN forum i.e related to PM module where I can find PM materials & threads it will be highly appreciable.
Expecting your valuable replys.

CATS for plant maintenance

Hi Guys,
I need your advice:-
We are on ECC 6 environment, the time system is running on 3rd party and payroll is on r/3, now the management decided to Implement CATS for plant maintenance (Activity based cost). So let me know is there is a feasibility to do so. If so, Please advice, your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Babu

What type of time evaluation do you do ? PM
CATS are very much feasible with PS and activity types and you can transfer costs against activities, orders, networking elements and WBS elements. --Understandable
You said Time is captured by third party, which sub system is this? Legacy
CATS doesn't have any relation with 3rd party, ---Understandable. My? Can we make two process same time. Legacy and CATS ( My concern is about IT007 and Work schedule)
CATS users are different from swipe card users: Understandable
it depends on your design and requirement to comment on the feasibility at your end.
but on a general scale , CATS is feasible in transferring activity based cost and post it into FI and CO: Understandable
Requirement:
Need to implement CATS, to get work order, Time, and Employee name etc.
My question is where in SAP I can store the data enter through CATS, If I use IT0007, I may redundant the data at HR side which is using 3rd party data to run payroll, or using 2001, 2002 and 2005.
So, How can I use CATS Independently. Please advice. Thanks

Doubts in plant maintenance

what are the business process in plant maintenance.
what are oraganisational level inside sap-pm.

From a broad stroke, the business processes in plant maintenance are as follows:
Maintenance Processing - This includes corrective and breakdown maintenance
Preventive Maintenance - This is where you set up the system to generate a maintenance order, notification or service entry sheet at a set schedule so that regular routine maintenance may be performed.
The organizations levels in plant maintenance are as follows:
Maintenance Planning Plants: This is where the maintenance work is planned my the maintenance planners for the work centers in the maintenance plants.
Maintenance Plants: Where maintenance work is performed in/out of... These are tied in IMG Configuration to the Maintenance Plants. A maintenance plant can have only one planning plant assigned to it but a planning plant can be assigned to more than one Maintenance Plant.
Maintenance Planner group: Also assigned to the planning plants in configuration. These are the people who plan the work... also called maintenance managers, supervisors, foremen, etc. in the various industries.
Maintenance Work Center: These are the people that actually perform the maintenance work. This is master data and they are created in relationship to a maintenance plant.
I hope this helps clarify some doubt.
