MRP design for Service Spare Parts

Hello,
I am in process of designing the MRP run for service spare parts for construction and mining equipments business. There is a central warehouse and small depots.
Help me out to design following MRP requirements.
1.     MRP process is expected to consider stocks at all these locations i.e central ware house and depots. Optimization across locations and stock transfers to be considered.
2.     MRP process is expected to consider open PO requirements.
3.     MRP process is expected to consider in-house service orders reservations requirements.
4.     MRP process is expected to consider open sales spare parts order demand from dealers.
5.     Certain formula base forecast requirements for specific spare part
If SAP standard solution is there or any work around is expected.
Regards
Sanjeev Dhavan

1. MRP process is expected to consider stocks at all these locations i.e central ware house and depots. Optimization across locations and stock transfers to be considered.
- MRP can be run for a whole plant or single material or MRP area(group together some storage location). I hope your warehouse is a plant so you can run the MRP at your plant(ware house) level.
2. MRP process is expected to consider open PO requirements.
- You should use consumption based planning but you need to identify what type of MRP you want to use.
    - reorder point planning     - forecast based planning      - time phased planning
    - in general all the above MRP will consider the open PO / PRs
3. MRP process is expected to consider in-house service orders reservations requirements.
- this is possible by selecting proper MRP type, for ex. if you want to use reorder point planning, then you should use V1(Reorder point planning with external requirements) which includes sales order and manual reservation in net req calculation.
4. MRP process is expected to consider open sales spare parts order demand from dealers.
- Refer point 3
5. Certain formula base forecast requirements for specific spare part
- do you want to use forecast based MRP? what formula you want to use?

How to send PR & PO data for materials through IDOC in XML

Hi Experts,
I am looking for a solution to send open PR & open PO related data for diffrent materials through as IDCO in XML file.
Scenario is i have to show a report in a 3rd party system for open PR & open PR that too will come after selection some materials. That means select a materials & it will show all the open PO & related data in a report.
The rough idea for the solution i got is I can save the data in XML file in the system. For this i have to send IDOC. but the problem is there is no message type for PR. IF i am not wrong i can extend the MATMAS05 for a segment that will have PR related info.
Now what to do with that how to send the IDOC do i need to create another report to send IDOC or i can send the extended one through BD10. I tried it but it shows error message "0 communication idoc sent" so I dont no y such error is coming i think i am not filling the extended idoc. But again my QUestion is how to do that. If anyone have any other solution Please help me out of this.
Regards,
Nik

Customer Service - handling Warranty process for Materials

Our Business,
1. Our Plant is 1000 - sold a Equipment to a Customer "C100"
2. A Material is broken in the part of Equipment - where the Material[M100] is under Warranty.
3. This Material[M100] is received in Plant 1000.
4. Then this Material[M100] is transferred to Plant 2000[Service Plant]
5. Material[M100] is serviced in Plant 2000 then transferred to Plant 1000.
6. Then this Material[M100] is given to the Customer from Plant 1000 in free of cost as the Material is under Warranty.
"Here in Step 5. We have to know the cost of expenses for Service, that can be posted to Cost Center. Cost must not post to Material after Service as this is given to the Customer as free of cost.
We have to Map this Business in SAP.
Please suggest best fit for above Business Scenario
Thanks
Raja

Hi ,
thanks for your response. If you can provide me more specific details of this scenario without having PM/CS orders for warranty claim that would be great.
We want to track , maintain & raise claim for warranty parts in the system for serialised materials; also need to send parts to vendor at zero cost and receive back in the system - we will not be using SAP PM . so any inputs on how to develop this process with warranty functionlities in such scenarios will be very helpful.
looking forward for more relevent responses..
Thanks

Issue regarding implementing the PM Spare Parts Scanning process

Dear friends,
I have the following issue. It seams that the client, who want to implement the scanning procedure for the PM Spare Parts, can not do this with wireless scanners if the maintenance of the spare parts is done with Inventory Management means and has requested to implement Warehouse Management integration. The fact is that I know that IM can be use. And I know, also, that the basic needs for IM use is that the materials have activated the Batch Management and, the scanning is based on batch bar code/material bar code, together with - for GR - PO bar code and, for GI - the WO bar code. But the issue regarding the wireless baffles me. Please, can you tell me what is the way for setting the wireless connection for the scanners in IM? Thank you very much for your kindness.

hi,
It basically depends how your business process is designed for producing Spare Parts before they are reworked.
rework order can be cerated without material with reference to original production order whcih is responsible for proeducing that SFG.
consider below lonks:

Problem in service contract determination using spare part items

Hi experts
I created a service contract with spare parts in product list, and discont for those spare parts in price agreement. The spare parts item category group is SRVM.
If I then create a serice order and add the spare part as the item of the transaction, depends on item category I put in for the spare part, contract determination may or may not happen. If I put SRVP ( service product) as item category then the contract determin will happen. But SRVP is not allowed for the spare part product. If I use SRVM as item category, then the contract determination will not happen at all.
The questions are
Can contract determination be triggered by item category SRVM? If yes, what do I have to do to make it happen? If no, what item category can I use for spare parts to trigger the contract determination?
Your help is highly appreciated.

Forecasting the need of spare parts in Demantra

Hello everyone,
I would really appreciate if anyone who's had dealt with the following issue help us,
The thing is - we want to forecast 3 different kind of items:
1. Main items we sell - for examples - machines.
2. Accessories for machines we sell. A certian accessory can be used with several type of machines. (Cables, Batteries etc.)
3. Spare parts we need to keep in stock in order to provide repair services for our customers.
Each machine we sell has a different set of spare parts used when repairing.
The forecast for machines is a typical demantra model forecast.(sales forecast by the book).
My question is regarding the forecast for the spare parts we need for repairs.
We know that demand for a certain spare part is influenced by how many machines which use that part were sold to customers.
Also - it depends how common is the use of that part when fixing those machines that need service.
(some parts get broken more frequently etc).
Also since we provide fixed price insurance for customers, they dont "see" spare parts price as a factor.
(they dont naturally "buy" the parts).
How can demantra tie the forecast for the spare part to sales history of machines? Can demantra forecast service ?(which behaves alot different than sales). It is obvious that forecasting demand for spare parts with looking only at each part's history will not provide best forecast results.
Any insights anyone?
I'm pretty sure most implementations faced that issue - regarding the forecast of parts for service -
Would appreciate any reply,
Thanks alot,
Aaron.

Hi Aaron,
Per my understanding,you sell machines as well as their accessories.So forecasting for them is by the book where you would be using the demand for machine as well as for accessories..
As far as the service parts' forecasting is concerned, Oracle has a seperate module for Service & Spare parts planning based on Demantra's forecasting engine.
Spare Parts Planning(SPP) has the following features:
1. Forecast accurately with built in Demantra's Forecasting engine
2. Replenish spares based on Single plan model
3. Distribute spares using SPP's plan
4. One single UI to carry out all 3 above processes for improved productivity
5. Forecasting based on Shipments, Spares Usage, and Returns
6. Plan based on Service parts failure rates calculations
7. Integrated with various APS modules like Demantra DM, CP, IO, and ASCP.
From demantra's perspective you may try out the following:
Since you provide fixed price insurance for customers,you would definitely be keeping track of the service provided like what spare was replaced and probably how many of the same spare have been replaced for a particular customer over a period of time. Also as per the insurance you must have specified that a particular spare would be replaced only x number of times within a span of say 6 months or 12 months.
You may utilize these information to classify the spares based on the frequency of use viz. very frequent, medium frequent and less frequent and associate some factor to it.You can club this information as well as the spare parts demand coming out of the BOM (bill of material) of the machine along with each part's history and come up with a forecast that can be more relied upon.
I hope this helps.

Shekhar

How to get committed date for each component after availability check

Hi,
When I use CO02 to check material availability, I can see committed date in missing part list and missing part overview for each component in production order. I save it and use CO03 to read missing part list again. The committed date is blank?! How to get the committed date for each missing part in production order?
Another question, committed date can be displayed in CO24(missing parts info system)? Thanks in advance!!

Rita,
Please check that the PP avail. check has replensh lead time turned on. If RLT is turned off & there is no sufficient stock of material, then system can only committ date of 12/31/9999.
Once you turn on RLT, it will give you some date based on your configured avail check ( that looks at stock or purchase order or production order). That way if there is no sufficient stock of material to satisfy your order system will committ the worst case date which is the RLT.
On CO24 unfortunately there is no field for Committ date. Hence is it not possible to view commit date. You can only view Committ quantity.
i am sure this will help you. Else please come back.
thanks,
Ram

Warranty for Spare parts (MRO)

Hello Experts
I would like to know how does warrantly for spare parts (MRO) works in SAP. I am new to it and keen to know what is needed to set up from Master data set up perspective and what benefit it gives in terms . How does the process works.
Many Thanks
Guarav

Hi,
As far as my knowledge warranty is not for spare parts, it is for technical objects, like equipment.
To run warranty chech you have to define
warranty types
Warranty categories
Define number ranges
Warranty counters
Then you have to create master warranty records in t-code BGM1 after saving it will give warranty number
This warranty number you have to speciefy in equipment master

Spare Parts on consignment at no cost during warranty period

With new equipment being installed, several vendors have agreed to provide us with spare parts on a consignment basis without any consumption cost during the warranty period. When the warranty ends we'll either purchase the spares or return them to the vendor. Is there a standard SAP process for these parts? I've look into consignment processing but did not find a clean way to do this without an accounting entry. We are on ECC 6.0.

Jody,
Try asking the same question to the [Materials Management|SAP ERP - Logistics Materials Management (SAP MM); guys.

What is best practice for dealing with Engineering Spare Parts?

Hello All,
I am after some advice regarding the process for handling engineering spare parts in PM. (We run ECC 5)
Our current process is as follows:
All materials are set up as HIBE's
Each material is batch managed
The Batch field is used for the Bin location
We are now looking to role out PM to a site that has in excess of 50,000 spare parts and want to make sure we use best practice for handling the spare parts. We are now considering using a basic WM setup to handle the movement of parts.
Please can you provide me with some feedback on what you feel the best practice is for dealing with these parts?
We are looking to set up a solution that will us to generate pick lists etc and implment a scanning solution to move parts in and out of stores.
Regards
Chris

Hi,
I hope all the 50000 spare parts are maintained as stock items.
1. Based on the usage of those spare parts, try to define safety stock & define MRP as "Reorder Point Planning". By this, you can avoid petty cash purchase.
2. By keeping the spare parts (atleast critical components) in stock, Planned Maintenance as well as unplanned maintenance will not get delayed.
3. By doing GI based on reservation, qty can be tracked against the order & equipment.
As this question is MM & WM related, they can give better clarity on this.

Maheswaran.

How to define alternate items for Spare Parts

Hi SAP Gurus,
My Client wants to implement Alternate items for Spare Parts. It is not a Manufacturing unit.
Actually Client wants their Service Partners to know that
ex., Material A is an alternate item to Material B and can be used for servicing without ordering for Material A.
Whether there is any Possibility to define alternate item in the Material Master.
Off course I have gone through the thread and document of Alternate items in BOM.
I would appreciate for providing Clarity on the subject.
Best Regards,
R.Velmurugan

Hi Velmurugan,
As per your requirement i think you can achieve alternate item group functionality ( as your client is not manufacturing)
You can maintain alternate material in MRP 4 view followup material field or basic data 1 old material Field than develop a ZReport extract the same as of client not manufacturing any thing.
Otherwise refer this document if you to go to Follow up material Functionality.
Concept of Discontinuation Data - Material Master and BOM
If you have any other query kindly revert back otherwise close the thread.
Thanks & Regards

Warranty for materials in Plant Maintenance

Hi Experts
I am trying to explore how warranty could be used for spare parts in PM. I did following and seems that it works the same way as it works for equipment . meaning that it shows a dialog box when creating Notif and order.
Step1: Create Material Master
Step 2: Create Material Serial Number (Equipment master is created in background)
Step 3: Add warranty information in equipment
Step 4: Create Notification or work order, the warranty information is displayed
My Questions is on Goods movement and benefit by using serial number. I have created 03 serial numbers (1,2 and 3) by using TX IQ01. I have two cases:
Case1: what are the benefits of serial numbers created above without activating serial numbers in Inventory management. How it helps in Plant maintenance
Case2; Assming we activate serial number mgmt in IM ( by assigning serial no profile in material master). How does the serial numbers created above (1,2 and 3 by using IQ01) tie to Inventory management serial numbers. When I receive material for a purchase order how the serial numbers are assigned and tie to serial numbers created by IQ01.
Appreciate your help. Let me know if I am not clear.
Thanks
Gaurav
