PM Order Settlement to another PM Order

Hi, I am a FI-CO consultant and I have been asked to assist in addressing a client requirement in Plant Maintenance - Preventive Maintenance.

The client uses a small number of vendors to perform all their maintenance work, so there will often be several items of equipment to be maintained by the same vendor at the same time. The client would like to be able to create just one Work Order in this case, but then distribute the costs down to the equipment level (for example, have a single Work Order to "maintain three air conditioning units", but ultimately have the total cost of that order apportioned over the three equipments).

I suggested we try using a single PM order (created for a dummy equipment), which then settles to three other PM orders (one for each equipment). These three orders would then settle to the applicable Cost Centres. This worked OK in respect of PM Order reporting - the main order shows the outwards settlement and the three other orders show the inwards settlements, but reporting at the Equipment level does not show the settled costs.

Is there some setting that can be changed so that Equipment costs will include settled amount received? Alternatively, can anyone suggest a different way of achieving the client requirement?

Thanks & Regards,

Marc

Settlement from one PM Order (having 3 different equipments) to 3 different PM orders (each having one equipment), will only post the cost at order level.

At equipment level, only dummy equipment will have all the cost & report will be shown on dummy equipment level.

Even though, cost is settled to actual equipments PM order, it will not be transferred from dummy equipment to actual equipment.

You can opt the method mentioned above having one Internal Order per equipment. But again this will work out only in FICO perspective, not in PM perspective.

Hi Marc,

In general, Actual Cost of Maintenance Order including settled cost can be displayed in Report Maintenance Order List using TCode IW39.

But, Total Cost which is shown here is "Total Cost" that has been spent in teh Maintenance Order

Detail Breakdown of Cost by category can be shown in the MO it self using IW33. Cost Group/Category can be defined in PM Customizing area

Alternatively, you can define the Equipment as Internal Order (I/O). Then, at the Equipment Master, you should set "Settlement Order" of the Equipment to respective Internal Order. So when Maintenance Order is created for the Equipment, it will be settled to respective Internal Order Automatically. By using this method, Accounting will be able to monitor actual Maintenance Cost of each Equipment by CO module either using KOB1 (Orders - Actual Line Item) or S_ALR_87012993 (Orders - Actual/Plan/Variance) by detail Cost Element

Hopely it can help you

Hi Marc,

It seems the Sub-Order (IW36) route suits to this situation. May have a look at it, until you receive experts' opinions.
