Hi

Refurbishment - reconditioning the equipment / technical object to meet the desired function.

It is generally used for repairing the motors / pumps / assemblies. This will be handy while managing the inventory. Assume that the plant is having a 15 KW motor of 20 motors. In this case, maintaining a spare.

Pre requisites: Material / assemblies that are to be refurbished are to be activated for split valuation with C as valuation category. There are three standard valuation types are available as follows.

C1 - good or new

C2 - repaired / refurbished

C3 - defective

This is to be maintained in accounting view of material master.

Detailed step for processing a refurbishment order:

Create a refurbishment order type PM04 using transaction IW81

Enter the material number, planning plant

Maintain the work center, planner group and other details like normal Pm orders

Enter the current plant, SLOC and valuation type as C3

Enter the plant in which the repair is to be performed, its SLOC and the valuation type as C2

Process the order and send the material to the plant where the equipment is to be repaired. Award PO if its an external operation.

Repair activity is completed.

Receive the material using transaction IW8W ie GR

TECO.

Settle the order. Please note that the settlement receiver for refurbishment order is Material.

Dear Johnson,

For refurbuishment process outside vendor u can have multiple combinations.

1. By making normal subcontracting PR -PO-MIGO u can get the repair cost on material under different valuation category

For more deatils ref link & contact with your MM Counter part

2. By making normal service PR -PO-Service Entry sheet u can collect the repairing cost on Cost centre / Maintenance order

3. By making frame work order & making payment by service entry sheet.

4. If u want to prepare subcontact PR though plant maintenance order there is small sub contractor check box tab at operation header level make it on & see your maovement type for reservation gets by default to 541 also u need to change component provide to sub cont at reservation screen.

Further process is same.

Hi,

You could use Refurbishment order (standard order type PM04) for this purpose and and process it as an external service using Operations control key PM02. Here is the process

1. Create Refurbishment order for the material

2. Create operations (PM02) for external processing. PReq will be generated once the order is released

3. Send out the material to vendor for repair

4. GR/IR upon receipt of the material from vendor

5. Receive material back to storeroom (IW8W)

6. Order settlement to material

Hope it helps,
