A Client has its own data environment that includes the user master and transaction data, assigned user master records, and chart of accounts. In addition, each client has specific customizing parameters. The SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW) and SAP Knowledge Warehouse (KW) components are, however, exceptions to this as only a single client can be used.

SAP
Step 1: The Plant Maintenance (PM) component is often only installed after other components, such as Financial Accounting, Controlling, Materials Management, and so on. This means that the company structure is, to a large extent, already defined in the system. Now the existing structure must be analyzed from a plant maintenance perspective and extended to include the maintenance-specific parts. If the Plant Maintenance (PM) component is the first SAP component installed, a structure that works for all the remaining areas of the company should be defined in the system.

The plant at which the operational systems of a company are installed is called the maintenance plant. If the maintenance work is planned at this plant, the maintenance plant is also the maintenance planning plant, planning plant for short. Locations subdivide a maintenance plant according to locational criteria, for example, site, building, coordinates. A maintenance plant can also be subdivided into plant sections based on responsibility for production. The person responsible for the plant section is the contact person who coordinates production and maintenance, who is often the plant engineer.

The client is the highest-level element of all the organizational units. It corresponds, for example, to a corporate group with several subsidiaries. Within a client, the system always accesses the same database. The subsidiaries with their own financial statements and balance sheets are defined as company codes. Within Logistics, the plant is one of the most important organizational units. It usually represents a production unit of a company.

Cross-plant planning: Multiple maintenance plants are assigned to a planning plant.

Plant-specific planning: Maintenance plant = planning plant. In most organizational structures, the maintenance requirement is planned in the same plant where it occurs, the maintenance orders are executed by workshops from the same plant, and the spare parts are stored in the same plant, such as plant 1000.

PLM300
SAP Graphical User Interface (SAP GUI) represents the traditional method of connecting up to a SAP R/3 Enterprise. The GUI is usually installed on the local work center and forms the graphical interface composed of the SAP Easy Access, standard tool bar, and so on. Another option for connecting to an SAP R/3 Enterprise would be to use a portal. Portals are HTML-based and allow access to almost any system, also non-SAP R/3 Enterprise, through the intranet or the Internet.
Only
This ensures that even occasional SAP users who do not have expert knowledge of the software can easily access certain functions. The role concept supported in the SAP GUI and the Business Workplace is also used in the portals. A connection of the previously delivered single roles to the iViews is planned.
Use
Partner
However, the portals distinguish themselves from the Workplace as SAP transactions are not translated 1:1 into HTML, but particular functions (for example, displaying a technical object) are made available in a much more simplified form known as Integrated Views (iViews).

The portals are the next generation of the Business Workplace, which is also HTML-based.

The portals get their content though Business Packages, such as, Business Package Assets – Technical objects. These are composed of a sequence of iViews. iViews are HTML screen areas in which data from certain SAP transactions is read. The sequence of iViews can be compiled flexibly to role- or function-specific screens, such as, portal for maintenance managers or maintenance engineers.

BOM is used for different purpose. The usage depends on the Enterprise area, for example: The engineering/design BOM includes all the elements of the product (from an engineering viewpoint) and contains the technical data. It is usually not dependent on the order.

SAP
SAP
Use
Instead of a uniform bill of material, these areas use “their own” bill of material with area-specific data, such as production. They only evaluate bills of material containing area-specific data. This results in a targeted bill of material explosion, whereby only the area-specific data is made available. Data selection is controlled using the definition of the bill of material usage. A determination sequence by bill of material usage is defined while Customizing for selecting the correct bill of material for an application.
Internal
The costing BOM reproduces the product structure and forms the basis for automatic determination of the material usage costs for a product. Items that are not relevant for costing are not included in this bill of material.
Partner
The production BOM includes the items, from a production viewpoint, and assembly conditions. For the assembly, for example, only items relevant to production with process-oriented data are required.

Although, the breakdown order and notification data is entered on the same screen, you can supplement and complete the notification later.
Partner
You can also create a breakdown order in combination with a maintenance notification (B), if malfunction data should be stored at this time for later documentation, such as malfunction start or damage. As a result, the order contains the same data as in case A, and the notification contains all the data relevant for the documentation or history.
SAP
The breakdown order can be created directly without any previous requisition note, see figure (A). The order usually refers to a technical object (functional location or equipment) and is configured at a work center. In the first operation, the malfunction to be corrected is described broadly.

Special case: Entering an order and notification in one work step During the processing of breakdown maintenance, the malfunction order can be created together with a malfunction report. As a result, the notification areas, malfunction data, damage, and notification dates are shown on the order header.

In most cases, breakdown maintenance involves one order with only one operation. For this reason, you can use the individual entry function for time confirmation. Here, you can enter the actual time directly on the detail screen for the operation confirmation. When confirmations of operations have been entered for a Maintenance order, these operations are automatically assigned the status PCNF (Partially confirmed) by the system.
Only
Instead of using individual entry, you can use the overall completion confirmation function to enter not only the times, but also, for example, material withdrawals, counter readings and so on, on a single screen.

There is always a risk of completion confirmations being assigned to the wrong operations or entered with the wrong data. The system therefore allows you to reverse completion confirmations if required.

At International Demonstration and Education System, the maintenance requirements are collected and then dealt with during order processing. This processing involves the following steps: notification, planning, scheduling, execution, and completion. Step 1: Notification: Malfunctions and other requirements are detailed in the notification and entered in the system. You can use the notification list to find and process notifications.

Step 3: Scheduling: In the control step, the order undergoes checks, such as material availability check, capacity requirement check, which are important for the subsequent release. If no serious problems arise, for example, spare part not available for required date, then the order is put into process and usually in the same step - the shop papers are printed.

A maintenance task, which is very frequently processed using a maintenance order, is introduced owing to the request or malfunction. A notification does not necessitate the creation of an order in every case.

The notification usually refers to a technical object and contains a description of the malfunction or requirements. In addition, data can be entered in a notification to build up the history, for example, damage, causes and so on.

The task data describes activities that should still be performed, and which might have only arisen after the maintenance task was executed, such as creating a report. However, in some cases, you can also use tasks for planning purposes, for example, if order processing is not active. In this case, you can plan to use different people to process the notification and monitor the execution of activities for specific periods of time. Note, however, that no cost monitoring, material planning, or capacity requirements planning is possible for this type of processing.

However, you can also enter these maintenance notifications without specifying an object number. This is the case, for example, if a malfunction report refers to an object that is not managed in the system under a number, or if a maintenance request refers to a new object to be provided for an investment program.
SAP
All the types of maintenance notification mentioned can be entered for both a functional location and a piece of equipment, in each case with or without assembly, or for a material with serial number. The hierarchy for these objects corresponds to the sequence specified. In other words, if you enter a maintenance notification for an assembly on a piece of equipment, which is assigned to a functional location, the system transfers all the relevant data for the piece of equipment and the functional location.

When you release a maintenance order, the system performs an availability check for planned materials depending on your Customizing settings. If this check reveals that certain planned materials are not available in sufficient quantities, you might not be able to release the maintenance order depending on your system settings.
Partner
The system now performs an availability check for all the materials assigned to the maintenance order in its operations, in accordance with the system settings and entries in the material master records. The system informs you of the result in an online message. In case of a lack of availability, you can display an error log containing the detailed data about the result of the check.

Overall completion confirmation: Times, activities, measurement values, and so on, on a collective screen Once you enter the completion confirmations for operations/sub-operations in a maintenance order, the system automatically assigns the status PCNF (Partially confirmed) to these operations/sub-operations, if no setting has been made in Customizing that a final completion confirmation should be proposed automatically. As soon as all the operations/sub-operations in a maintenance order have been completely confirmed, the order itself is assigned the status CNF (Finally confirmed). Since there is always a risk of completion confirmations being assigned to the wrong operations/sub-operations or entered with the wrong data, the system allows you to reverse completion confirmations if required.

If there are any outstanding tasks (status OSTS) in a notification, the notification cannot be completed. You need to ensure that all the tasks are marked as finished. You can complete the order belonging to the notification because the outstanding tasks must not necessarily belong to the order performed (in certain circumstances, a new order might be required for this).

However, the order can still receive costs, for example, invoice receipts for materials delivered and consumed, or from delayed time confirmations. If you have not maintained a settlement rule for the maintenance order, it is created automatically by the system. If this is not possible owing to missing data, the system directs you to where the settlement rule can be maintained. All the purchase requisitions for which there are no purchase orders that still exist for the maintenance order are marked with a deletion flag.

However, the reference date has no influence on the determination of the location- and account assignment data. This is determined from and set to the day’s date when the order is created.

A company needs to process external services for capacity constraints, lack of specialized skill set, or considering cost factor; it might have a long-term relationship with some specific vendors. The company can use the Corrective Maintenance process of SAP to process external services. The process can handle external services by making individual purchase orders or by creating external firms as work centers.

External services can be processed in three ways:
Use
Individual purchase order for sporadic requirements External firm work center for regular requirements Service item with individual purchase order and service specifications and subsequent service entry.
The control key determines the type of external service assignment: • • •
PM01: The external assignment is processed using an internal order with an external work center. PM02: The external assignment is processed using a purchase requisition and a standard individual normal purchase order. PM03: The external assignment is processed using an external operation with service specifications and subsequent service entry.

- As vendor master records - As an external work center
Partner
In certain cases, you might need to assign a complete maintenance order to an external company. To do this, you create a maintenance order with only one operation, which you assign to an external company.
SAP
To assign part of the work in a maintenance order to external companies, you can use operations. You can divide up a maintenance order into operations that are performed by internal work centers and operations that are performed by external work centers.

You can see the posted goods receipt quantity in the corresponding field. The vendor invoice usually arrives after the delivery. For this reason, the offsetting entry is put on a goods receipt - invoice receipt clearing account (GR/IR clearing account) and automatically written off on invoice receipt. Any differences between the purchase order value and invoice value are subsequently debited from the order or credited to it.

In a company, refurbishing defective, high quality, and repairable spares is extremely important and forms a core process of maintenance. Refurbishment is more cost effective than the purchase of new components. In real time maintenance or repair tasks, a defective item of equipment is replaced. The maintenance order however contains only the material consumption for the new item. If you intend to refurbish rather than scrap the defective item, the refurbishment process starts. The defective item of the equipment is posted and stored in the spare parts warehouse.

Step 1: The first step is to initiate the refurbishment on the basis of a certain amount of defect spare parts in storage.
Internal
Step 3: The employees responsible withdraw the defective/used repairable spares and any other materials planned in the order, which are required for the refurbishment, from the warehouse. Step 4: Time and material resources are needed for the refurbishment. Step 5: The repaired/refurbished repairable spares are returned to the warehouse per goods receipt in accordance with the order planning. The order is confirmed and completed.

Step 2: As soon as the number of defective repairable spares in the warehouse reaches a certain level, the maintenance planner responsible creates a refurbishment order. The planner defines the time allowed for the refurbishment and plans all the operations, materials, and tools, required for the refurbishment. After planning, the refurbishment order is released.

At International Demonstration and Education System (IDES), defective or worn-out spare parts in storage should be refurbished. A material with condition-based valuation is used for this. In exceptional cases, equipment is also refurbished.

Each material that is intended for separate valuation can be classified in the corresponding movement types, for example, new, refurbished, defect. The movement type corresponds to a condition.
Partner
The prerequisite for valuing a material separately is the indicator of the material using the valuation category , for example, C for valuation by condition, as valued separately. The valuation category is part of the accounting data of the material.
SAP
In the material master record, a price is defined for the material in each valuation area, that is, the plant or company code. In some cases, you might need several prices for the same material within a valuation area (separate material valuation) if, for example, there are different conditions of a material which should be valued separately.

In addition to partial stocks, the overall stock is also updated. The value calculated for the overall stock is derived from the total of stock values and stock quantities for the individual partial stocks.

Every operation subject to valuation, whether it is a goods receipt, goods issue or inventory, is performed at partial-stock level. When processing one of these operations, specify which partial stock is involved. This ensures that only the value of the partial stock concerned is changed; the other partial stocks remain unaffected.

If the valuation types (partial stocks) have a valuation with standard price, the final change of the stock value of the material takes place at this time: a C3 part with the standard price, a C2 part with the standard price more in stock. This leads to a new floating average price at the material level. The effective expenditure of the order is not taken into account for this constellation. It is posted to a price difference account for the order settlement.

This, in turn, leads to a rise in the floating average price at the overall material level, depending on the expenditure of the order, not on the valuation price of the partial stock.

If the movement types (partial stocks) have a valuation with a floating average price, then the overall stock value of the material rises by the effective expenditure of the order (working time + material/ here: 5 hours at a total of 250 + 100 for the residual value of the defect part) after settlement.

SAP
In a company, Preventive Maintenance processes include all maintenance work that can be planned with respect to the scope of the work and the dates involved, regular inspections, recurring maintenance tasks, and planned repairs. The objective of preventive maintenance tasks is to prevent the system and other technical objects from a breakdown. A maintenance planner is responsible for carrying out the preventive maintenance process in the company.

Lesson: Preventive Maintenance Process
To keep downtime and maintenance costs to a minimum, the technical systems at International Demonstration and Education System (IDES) are inspected and maintained regularly. The preventive maintenance performed here is based on time, performance, or the condition of the technical object. Preventive maintenance is divided into three areas: Time-based: Preventive maintenance tasks are triggered after a specific period of time has elapsed, for example, every six months.
Only Partner
Condition-based: Preventive maintenance tasks are due when a condition is outside a specific value range. For example, a thread depth below 15 mm or temperature higher than 85 C.

Lesson: Preventive Maintenance Task Lists
Maintenance task lists describe a series of individual maintenance activities. You can use them to standardize recurring activities, plan them more effectively, and to save time when creating maintenance orders and maintenance plans. Task lists can be object-independent, such as categories like equipment plan, plan for the functional location, and, in this case, refer to exactly one technical object.
Only SAP
SAP
If you have created maintenance task lists, you can create maintenance orders and maintenance plans, since you refer to the operations and processes already entered in the maintenance task list. For example, if you create a maintenance order for a task, for which all the individual operations have already been described in a maintenance task list, you only need to specify this task list and the required times in the maintenance order. You do not need to enter the individual operations because they are copied from the maintenance task list. If the same task is required again, you can create the maintenance order with reference to the maintenance task list.
Use
Partner
General maintenance task lists can be used for routine and planned maintenance tasks. Task lists also specify which spare parts and tools are required for operations and the time needed to perform the work.

Object-independent task lists, like the category of general maintenance task list, can be used for multiple objects of the same type.

SAP
A maintenance planner in a company has to schedule the maintenance plan. When doing this for the first time, the maintenance planner has to enter the start date or start counter reading and specify the maintenance cycle on the time axis. Scheduling of maintenance plans ensures the periodicity of the maintenance activity.

Lesson: Scheduling Maintenance Plans
Scheduling allows you to define start dates for maintenance orders and keep them updated. Without regular scheduling, call objects, such as maintenance orders, notifications, and service entry sheets, cannot be created. Scheduling is normally performed automatically at regular intervals, such as daily or weekly, in a background job. Restart: The normal function to start a maintenance plan for a technical object that has just been brought into service for which inspection activities need to begin.
Only SAP
Manual call: If you also want to schedule a maintenance task for a particular date, you can schedule this date manually.
SAP
For example, if the maintenance strategy that you have assigned to your maintenance plan, has three packages, monthly, every four months, and every six months, then instead of starting scheduling with the package monthly, you can decide to start with the six-monthly package. You must then enter the date when the last preventive maintenance work, in this case, the fifth monthly package, was performed.
Use
Partner
Start in current cycle: You can restart scheduling for your strategy plan in the current cycle. This function is useful if you have previously been using a different EDP-system to SAP, or no EDP-system at all, to manage your maintenance work.
Internal
Scheduling is the function that calls up the next maintenance order after the previous one has been completed. It is not usually performed manually, but triggered by the technical completion of the order and the deadline monitoring program.

Maintenance projects of a company are generally integrated in the internal processes. To carry out an entire project, you need to describe the aims of the project in detail and structure the project task to be performed. The project related maintenance tasks that have been performed are settled to the subprojects. The incurred costs of the orders are forwarded to the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element. The budget and the dates are planned and monitored at the level of the WBS element. Scheduling and resource planning are done at the particular maintenance order level.

Step 1: A project definition and a work breakdown structure composed of Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) elements, are created for the project to be executed. Step 2: To structure the WBS elements, maintenance orders are created and manually or automatically assigned to the WBS elements. This means that the order planning data, for example, planned costs can be condensed to the WBS elements even for the overall project planning, such as assigning a budget on the basis of the total planned costs.

Step 4: When the order is being performed, you can monitor the current situation, such as adherence to schedule, consumption of budget, etc. using the reports from the project information systems.

At IDES, a well-defined process must ensure work safety before any maintenance measures are carried out. This process must be easily understandable and available at all times to employees involved in the maintenance process. Work Clearance Management makes this possible. Inspections, repairs, or maintenance work for a technical object might only be carried out when the measures to ensure work safety have been implemented. These safety measures include, for example, lockout/tagout, fire protection, radiation protection.

Lesson: Evaluations based on Business Information Warehouse
The Business Information Warehouse (BW) is an R/3-independent SAP R/3 Enterprise for extracting data from diverse source systems, both SAP and non-SAP R/3 Enterprises. This restructures the data and compiles it into analyses, and presents these accordingly. The heart of this is the SAP BW server, which is pre-configured with the business content for the various core areas of the company.

Partner
The Business Explorer provides companies with flexible reporting and analysis tools for strategic analysis and to support the decision-making processes, such as queries, which include enquiries/analysis.
Internal
Business content refers to pre-configured role- and task-based information models based on consistent metadata. The business content provides a range of information for selected roles in a company, which they need to perform their tasks.
SAP
SAP
In the first step, data is prepared in various source systems and extracted. In the second step, this data is compiled into info cubes in the BW. Info cubes are structures that describe a self-contained dataset of a business area from a reporting perspective. In the third step, queries, such as enquiries and analysis are defined on the basis of the info cubes in the Business Explorer.

From a technical perspective, the newest version of mySAP Technology was taken as the foundation for SAP R/3 Enterprise. Specifically, this is WEB AS 6.20. This includes all existing SAP Basis technologies and new features of the SAP Web AS. SAP Web provides a homogeneous infrastructure for both JAVA and ABAP-based applications. It provides integration services and connectivity both to the portal infrastructure and the exchange infrastructure.
Partner
New functional developments covering enterprise-centric business processes, are made in the SAP R/3 Enterprise Extensions, which are encapsulated objects. They are selectively deployable and have their own release cycles.
SAP
SAP R/3 Enterprise Core is the next version after SAP R/3 4.6C. All infrastructure improvements (such as performance optimization) and legally required changes are made in this area. Additional enhancements for R/3 Enterprise in the areas of technology and infrastructure include the package concept, global parametrization with business configuration sets, Unicode compliance, and Accessibility.

The Enterprise Portal consists of the following three main components:
SAP
The Portal Server provides an environment for the development and administration of portal content (roles, iViews) and for the user administration.
Use
The Knowledge Management platform provides functions for the administration and retrieval of structured and unstructured data.
Internal
The Unification Server allows the integration of heterogeneous systems into a single source of information. The main component of the Unification Server is the Drag and technology. This technology enables the user to drag a visual element (for example, an order kept in an SAP Enterprise) to another visual element (for example, a transport company kept in a non-SAP Enterprise) and thus relate the two elements to each other. The result could be the current status of the order retrieved from a non-SAP Enterprise. The advantage of this technology is that it is easy to use and that the existing system landscape can be used as it is.
