Assigning serial no profile to the material master
Assigning Material with serail no in Equipment master record serial no Tab
you can trace the equipment with serial no for installation and dismantle process

Dear,
"just let me explain my scenario.
our plant is running already since 3 years back.
and in that plant PP,MM,FI HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED ALREADY.
now PM is to implement. therefore all goods receipt has done so no need to do again."
now i have to make equipment master with different & unique serial numbers.
i think now everything would be cleared.
kindly now suggest the process.

Costing in Plant maintennace

Hi,
Please can any one say about costing in Plant Maintenance.
Thanks in advance.

I see this question is still not answered, and it looks as though Naresh is hoping for a user-exit to populate the estimated costs field.
I have scoured all the user-exits and found nothing suitable, or even close.
It also surprises me that you would want this populated automatically from IP30.
If you have maintained a task list in your plan you will get planned costs.
The purpose of estimated costs is to add fuzzy human logic to the planned costs.
How could a user-exit do that?
You could look at user exit IWO10009 Customer Check for 'Save' Event
or

Here's the full list (to the best of my knowledge) for Orders:

Report for Reconciliation of serial number -Need Table help

Hi all,
I am working on Report to get info on "Reconciliation of serial number"
The business flow is as below: (Transaction MIGO)
1.     Receipt of Gas Cylinder u2013 (Mvt type 501M)
2.     Transfer Cylinder to Production dept.- (Mvt type 311M)
3.     Transfer empty Cylinder to Empty storage location after utilization u2013 (Mvt type 312M)
4.     Empty Cylinder return to Vendor u2013 (Mvt type 502M)
I want to know No. of days between step 1. Gas Cylinder receipt (Mvt 501M) and step 4. Return of empty Cylinder to Vendor (Mvt 502M) based on selection --> Material, Serial No, Vendor, Plant
I have analyzed few Tables:
1. MKPF   ->   (Material movement Dates)
2. MSEG ->   (Plant, Storage location)
3. EQUI    ->   (Equipment, Material and Serial Number link)
But unable to find out link between MSEG and EQUI.... Can you please help me to find out link?
(P.S.: I have checked IQ09 transaction as well but not getting required information.)

Hello
Look on the tables OBJK and SER03 . Here you should have the link to EQUI via field OBJK-OBKNR, OBJK-EQUNR and MSEG via fields SER03-OBKNR, SER03-MBLNR, SER03-MJAHR, SER03-ZEILE

CATS--- How it is transferred to plant Maintenance module

Hello HCM Guys,
Currently we are confirming Manhours using IW41 against the reservations of the respective manhours made in the Maint work order.After confirmation , the cost of the manhours is accumulated on the work order which is settled on the sender Cost Center maintained in the Work center master data. After TECO of the work order, Settlement of the maint work order is done in Controlling module thru KO88/KO8G(mass) and the cost transferred from the sender to the receiver cost center maintained in the CO during month end closure activity before period end close. Also standard Activity re-evaluation is done for consecutive month activity price update thru the link of activity type---Cost center assignment. This is the standard process of confirmation of manhours in SAP.
Now since the business needs indiviual employee manhours confirmation(Internal and external employees(Contractors), I understand it can be achieved by the CATS component of HR module. I understand that in this process of CATS we do the daily attendance/absence/overtime thru the standard data entry profile maintained in CATS by HR team. After the employee has entered his daily time sheet and released, it is approved by Time administrator of HR dept which finally goes to Manager-HR for his approval. The approved time sheet manhours are then transferred to respective module like PS, PM, CS modules. As we have never used this before I wnat to know how the transfer of costs happen when transfer to Plant Maintennace module is done. How the cost gets booked. How the cost is charged and transferred to payroll in PM...Does this happen against Maint Orders or CO Internal orders?Please explain me the detail procedure after transfer of manhours to Plant maintenance module and the cost transfer to respective receivers from sender objects....
Thanks
Murad Shaikh

usually there is one step approval in CATS, You can do so via cats_appr_lite in backend
Transfer to other components is done via CAT6
Refer help.sap.com on various target components CATS can do transfer. you need to define the correct attributes

Change external serial numbers

Hello Folks,
The serial numbers at the Client place have year stamp (external numbers). here is an example of it
ex : 0988880000001
Where first 2 digit "09" is a year stamp
the next 4 digits are material code - "8888"
the last 7 digits are for pieces to procure - "0000001"
totally there are 13 digits and are printed and used as barcodes on the pieces (EAN 13)
I want to know whether i can change this format to "1088880000001" from the next year. (After midnight 31st Dec 09). if yes , how to do this and where, so that the data gets uploading in the same table as a continuation of previous entries. Would there be any inconsistencies like system cannot access previous serial numbers?
Thanks much in advance,
Ashwin.

Angela,
You cannot change in Mass but one by one you can change for that you will have to go into Tcode. OIS2, Check Column StkCk -Stock check for serial numbers, maintain this column as blank. i.e., StkCk = 0
Else
with StkCk = 2 you cannot enter Stock type, Plant, Storage location if you do it, it will throw an error,
"Stock control active (profile ZXXX) for material XXXXXXXXX in plant XXXX), but you can maintain StkCk = 0 temporarily, until you complete maintaining plant, storage location for all the serial numbers then reinstate StkCk = 2.
Discipline the enduser from clicking "create serial no Automatically" then it will create DUmmy serial nos without plant and storage location.
2. You cannot delete it, but you can set Deletion Flag and you can make serial no active or inactive.
TCode Iq02 : Matserialno --> Functions --> A. Active and B. Deletion flag
Note: Be careful it should not affect other plants.

Unique serial number

hello all!
i would like to use serial numbers for materials but would like to have a unique serial number per plant. in my understanding following would be possible using SAP-standard
material 1 - serial number 1
material 2 - serial number 1
i would like to prevent this situation - is that possible?
best regards,
matthias

Hi
Even I was trying for the same. But in standard its not available. Place this issue in MM forum.

MII and Plant Connectivity 2.2 Bi-directional Socket Connection

Hi,
I have to send a command to a serial device from within MII via a socket connection to be able to have a respons from the device. I know in Plant Connectivity a socket connector can be setup. But is it also possible to send a message from MII to the serial device over Plant Connectivity, because it seems that the socket can only be setup to trigger notifications based on received messages from sources (and not from destinations). I read this functionality was planned to be build into Plant Connectivity 2.2, but I can't figure out how to set it up?
kind regards,

Hi Bram,
We can set up connection between PCO & MII through "UDC" connector. UDC connector is available in MII through
Data Services --> Data Servers --> New --> UDC and click on "OK" button.
You need to provide all PCO system details like server name, Port number etc and save the connection. Check the status of connectivity through Data Services --> Connection Status.
Go through the URL : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mii121/helpdata/en/43/e80b59ad40719ae10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
Navigate to Data Services --> SAP MII Workbench --> Query Template --> Tag Query
Upon successful connection, open SAP MII workbench (Data Services --> SAP MII Workbench) and create a new "Tag Query" template to pull details from PCO.
So far, we pulled information from PCO, manipulated those values in MII and send these values to ERP to create notification. Let us know business scenario on which you need to send back information to PCO from MII.
Thanks

Document flow of Inbound Delivery

Dear Gurus,
We have upgraded to support pack SAPKH60018 from SAPKH60010.
Earlier the process for goods receipt was followed as described below
1. Purchase order
2. Inbound Delivery
3. GR in to Blocked stock against Inbound Delivery (mvmt type 103)
3. Release GR blocked stock (mvmt type 105)
Now after upgrading the support pack when GR blocked stock is made against the Inbound Delivery system is not updating the Document number in the document flow and PGR button is not disabled though 103 mvmt type document is made through migo.
System is also not allowing to make the Release GR block stock through MIGO and prompting to use Inbound Delivery Dialog instead.
Request for immediate assitance in regard to this issue.
Regards
Danish Alam.

With the support pack in case if material is serialized for such plant you can post goods receipt only in VL32N which would happen only during 105 mvt type and you cannot post goods receipt using MIGO.

Making the Basic Start Date in PM order Mandatory

Team,
we created a new PM order type per user requirements. One problem we have is to make the Basic start date field mandatory.Can any one propose how we can make make the basic start date mandatory ?

Dear,
Its always better to have forward schedule, and to do so, follow the path
SPRO-->IMG-->PLANT MAINTENNACE &CUSTOMER SERVICE-->MAINTENNACE &SERVICE PROCESSING-->MAINTENANCE & SERVICE ORDERS-->SCHEDULING-->SET SCHEDULING PARAEMETERS.
Here you can set the parameters as per your client requirement.

Not to upload the same file more than once from legacy thru BAPI

i have a BAPI program for uploading datas to ME21N transaction code.the values are getting stored in structure table only
to upload the values under one header, i have declared one constant serial number, in which that is the main identification to upload the various line items in one header.
if i uploaded the data once again , the data must not be uploaded, even if a different user tries to upload. The serial number will be same for all the items and also the supplying plant also will be same for all line items.how will i identify or store the serial number and plant , in such a way that the same plant for this combination must not be uploaded again. i have created a ztable and stored the serial num and plant.if this two fields are getting repeated for the same plant then the action must not occur else if for a diff plant the bapi program has to create a PO.
can anybody give me a solution for this. how to make this simpler and identify the already uploaded data.

hi
when u r about to upload query ur main table ekko or ekpo if the entries already exist.
if yes then issue an error message.
Regards
Sajid
