Measurement Documents - Measuring Points and Counters (CS-IB-MC / PM-EQM-SF-MPC) - SAP LibraryĬycle Set - Plant Maintenance (PM) - SAP Library I request you to refer the Cycle Set / Cycle set sequence / Measurement document / counter below links *I am trying to identify, how this functionality works.īest way is to have all maintenance cycles in the cycle set and choose the cycle set sequence based on the business requirement. This sequence i will assign to maintenance item. I will assign the cycle set to maintenance plan and set the cycle set sequence as I want to create multiple counter plan for 2 equipments, where the maintenance is due when it reaches 250 hrs / 3 months and 1000 hrs / 1 year. I create Cycle set as 250 hrs / 500 hrs / 1000 hrs / 3 months / 6 months / 1 year. The concept which you are talking about is the Cycle Set Sequence, which will decide the maintenance cycle combination. Here I have covered the basic scenario of Multiple Counter Plan, there are lot of options available to explore in this area.Ĭycle set is used to assign maintenance cycles like Time based or performance based (1 year and 1000 hours). Measuring counter is reached, but the 3 months is not reached so the maintenance is planned for the future date based on the start date. In our case, if the maintenance is due every 250 hrs or 3 months, the decisive factor is which occurs last. Since the measuring counter reading is already reached 250, a maintenance is already due, on save, work order will be generated.įor an AND Operation, a maintenance order is generated for the last planned date. In our case, if the maintenance is due every 250 hrs or 3 months, the decisive factor is which occurs first. On scheduling the plan, we need to consider the Operation Type and the behavior of scheduling will be different based on the type.įor an OR Operation, a maintenance order is generated for the earliest possible planned date. Kindly refer the scheduling column for the Operation type and difference on scheduling the maintenance plan. The important factor of Multiple Counter Plan is the Operation Type. Kindly maintain the Sched Period and Start Date. Select the Maintenance plan scheduling parameters tab.
#MULTI COUNTER APPLICATION UPDATE#
Kindly update the maintenance plan with relevant details like Maintenance Plan Description, Maintenance Item Description, Order Type, Planner Group, Work Center, Task list and Priority. Here the scenario has only one cycle set sequence.Ĭycle set sequence, Scheduling period, Start date will be populated in the multiple counter maintenance plan (IP43) after activating the “Configure Special Functions for Maintenance Planning” in SPRO. Select the Maintenance plan category and Cycle set ( Cycle set not mandatory)Ĭycle sets will be copied to the maintenance planĬycle set sequence needs to be filled and same has to be linked to maintenance item. Also cycle sets can be complied directly in multiple counter plan itself.Ĭycle sets needs to be created based on business requirement. It defines the period of time between two maintenance tasks. Two documents are posted for this measuring point / counter.Ĭycle sets are used as a copy model for the creation of multiple counter plan. On save, first measurement document created for measuring point / counter. Record the current running hours reading of the Pump using measuring documents (IK11), this is required to schedule the plan. On save, measuring point / counter is created. This needs to be filled, maintenance intervals are calculated based on this data. Enter a logical value for the first counter reading.Īnnual Estimate – Estimated hours the equipment can run in a year. MeasPosition – This describes the position of the measuring point / counter with respect to the Technical Object.Ĭounter Overflow reading – The first counter reading that the counter cannot display. In the measuring counter, you need to maintain below fields To make the measurement point as a Counter, you need to check “MeasPoint is counter”Įnsure characteristics you want to assign to measuring point / counter were created To record the running hours we need to create measuring point / counter.Ĭreate the Measuring point for Equipment, enter the object type IEQ We are going to record the running hours of the Pump. I have created PUMP as Equipment for explaining this scenario.
