Use of Alternate BOM in Plant Maintenance

Hi All,
Please let me know the use of Alternate BOM in SAP PM.
Sundar

From SAP Help.
The BOM structure is reflected in the different technical categories of BOM provided in the PM system:
Simple BOM
The first BOM that you create for a technical object or material has no defined technical category and a simple structure. It is described as a "simple BOM".
Variant BOM
Variant BOMs have a more complex structure. They are used to group together several BOMs to describe different objects that have a high proportion of identical parts.
Multiple BOM
Multiple BOMs have the most complex structure. They are used to group together several BOMs to describe one object, for which different combinations of materials are used for different production methods. Multiple BOMs are usually used in production planning and have little or no use for plant maintenance.
Note: There is no concept of Alternative BoM for PM.

Use ot alternate BOM

Hi
We have alternate BOM of a GF material, How can i use boththe BOMS in MRP run, and If we run MRP 2 time for the same material Ist time i use BOM no 1 and in IInd run change the BOM and run the MRP what will be the impact on my PR`s
Thanks

Dear Sir,
Other way of doing is that make one production version active and then run MRP and then the other.Go to C223 and make inactive or make it inactive through MRP-4.Avinash Sir, please be free to call

Scheduling Agreement Alternate BOM usage

Hi all,
For a FG material , i have 2 BOMs available for that.
I make a scheduling agreement for Subcontracting process while maintaining schedules ME38 , automatically system is picking the first BOM present for that material , but i want to use the alternate BOM to be picked for that particular vendor or for that Scheduling agreement. So should I maintain any thing else for that agreement .
With Rgds,
Vamsi

Hi,
Maintain two production versions, one for each BOM you have, Assign the default production version to the subcontracting info record
When you create subcon PO, the default production version is used. If you want to change it, go in the item level "Material Data" Tab,
click "Re-explode" and choose the production version you want

Using SmartForm for Plant Maintenance service order processing

Greetings everyone,
I am working in R/3 4.6C and I have a SmartForm that I would like to configure as a shop paper in plant maintenance and print along with various types of work orders. However, the config in this area only allows configuration of SAPscript forms with print programs and form routines.
Does anyone know if there is a way to configure or convert a SmartForm so that I can print it as a PM shop paper?
I will definitely reward helpful answers/solutions.
Thanks,
Geoff

Thanks for the quick response, Anji.
So just to be sure, there is no way I can configure this form to work with the shop paper config, correct? If I want something to automatically print with different work order types, I guess I have no choice but to use a SAPscript form with a print program? I am just not clear on what you mean when you talk about the Z t-code, since I never want to execute this form directly, but always automatically in work order printing from IW32 or similar transactions.
Thanks..
Geoff

Planning in Plant Maintenance using MCB.

Hi Experts,
My client is into Mining Industry. This is a Greenfield SAP Implementation.
Client is not clear with the Planning requirements in the Plant Maintenance module.
Therefore, I have suggested that all the Standard Businenss Content Extractors and relevant Queries will be delivered as part of Maintenance Planning.
I tried but could not find any Plant Maintenance Planning (MCB) related DataSources and Queries in the BI 7.0 Business Content page @ http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/f6/7a0c3c40787431e10000000a114084/frameset.htm.
Could you please help me with this?
Thanks in advance,
Chandu

Hello Chandra,
We are in the Health Care sector and I have a similar requirement as of yours. We are not really sure what all we would require from PM, so we are thinking to go ahead with all the Business Content Reports and I have been asked to install all the Cubes, DSO's, Extracots, Reports Etc, Etc....
I just also have the above link in my hand and it doesn't give us a whole lot clear picture..? So how did u carry out with your requirement? What all you ended up installing? Please do share it, will be a great help for me.
Thanks in advance, Venu.

Plant Maintenance with MRP

Dear all,
Sorry because i can't find a forum for PM function, so i have to post this subject in PP forum. But I think thera are some solution for my problem.
1. Does anyone run MRP for Plant Maintenance??? because I have to make requirement planning of material for maintenance plan in my company.
2. I have a equipment BOM, so when I have a maintenance order. Why the system does not auto load all of component in BOM into tab component of maintenance order? If I want to load assign component fof maintenance order, I have to do this by choose each item in BOM equipment and assign it to maintenance order.
Thank all

Hi VU,
As i u/s MRP is not run like for PM or PP or MM, it is run for Materials in the plant & any material which allows MRP will be considered for MRP, Coming to PM you may stock your spares not on individual requirement but say based on consumption(reorder point), consumables like grease & oil can also be planned this way, then these materials will be considered in MRP, and when you create an order and you have missing part, MRP would consider the requirement from order.
Coming to 2nd part, In manufactuirng(PP) a material, all the materials given in the BOM would be required,
while in maintenance this would not be so, for an equipment you may have no.of spares listed out but all the spares would not be used ?????
Hope this helps.

Mithun

Billing of Service Order in Plant maintenance.

What is IBAU in Plant Maintenance??

Dear Friends,
Please do let me know what is IBAU in the context of Plant Maintenance in SAP.
Regards,
Alok.

Dear Alok,
Assemblies are not plant-specific. They are considered design/phantom/grouping type of materials. They aren't physical materials but rather a grouping of physical materials.
The idea is that you create an IBAU for each of these "groupings" of parts then you create a material BOM (or rather a maintenance assembly BOM) in CS01 like you would normally do for a typical material BOM except that the parent or source material is your new IBAU.
Next you would create an equipment BOM where you would add your IBAU as a component of that equipment BOM. Since <b>maintenance assemblies (aka IBAUs)</b> are not plant-specific you must add the IBAU to the equipment BOM as a PM Structure Element (BOM Item Category of "I").
If you want to go the route of using construction type then the idea here is that you would create a material BOM similar to the equipment BOM. The difference is that instead of an equipment BOM pointing to material BOMs you would have a material BOM pointing to other material BOMs where the master material of this whole BOM strcuture is actually a material representation of the equipment.
For example, let's say you have 5 pumps with identical BOM structures. You would create a material called PUMP then proceed to create the BOM structure for a typical pump. After this you would create your 5 pumps as equipment and assign them a construction type of the PUMP material. In this way your equipment will now inherit the PUMP BOM structure.
The benefit/drawback to using construction type is that your BOM structure remains the same for all equipments using that PUMP construction type.

Naveen.

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.

Uday

Urgent Issue in Plant Maintenance Module

Dear Experts,
We have requirement as described below, please give us your solutions / comments on this.
We have GTC company which is having around 800 trucks for transporting the products. I n this company we have implemented SAP Plant Maintenance Module, as we have the maintenance activities done for vehicles.
Under the same group of companies, we have PM1,PM2,PM3 companies which provide maintenance to GTC. These companies are not external to the group.
When I raise a maintenance order for a vehicle then I will mention hours of work and material that need to be used in the activity. This maintenance work / labour is provided by PM1/PM2/PM3 company.
In plant maintenance we have external service management, but that is for external vendors who provide service to GTC.
But how to handle the same with internal vendors like PM1/PM2/PM3.
Please tell me how to handle this kind of scenario.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
this is a major topic and cannot be covered in a blog. Even if it can it will take a lot of time to clarify. So, first do your checks within your module. Check if u really need to treat the services from the other company as external services. You might as well create workcenters in the plants of the other companies. And make a single maintenance planning plant for all the plants in these companies. This will make a better solution technically. But think also from the perspective of the cost of this solution. Meaning, is it worth doing all the jobs such as maintaining activity prices, work centers in the other plants etc..
In general, my suggestion is include the FI and CO consultants at least in the discussion. It will b good if u can have the MM consultant also during the discussion.

This is an interesting requirement - I've never seen a process to cover insurance using the PM module.
You could follow the warranty process to claim insurance.
Alternatively, talk to you Finance team to see what they recommend.
