SAP PM Activities
SAP PM Activities
This document can guide the consultants as check list during the Cut Over Activities of SAP Plant
Maintenance Implementation.
Characteristics:
All the characteristics should have been created as per the usage in Measuring Points & Technical Objects.
This will avoid the duplication of master creation, errors, etc., Characteristics which will be used in Permits
also should be created accordingly.
Classes:
All classes should be created based on the usage either in Equipment / Functional Location / Permits
(Licenses) category.
Cost Element groups should be created as per the assignment of those groups in the configuration front.
Generally, cost elements will not / should not be assigned in the configuration directly as it tends to change
according to client (DEV / QAS / PRD). So, its advisable to create cost element groups & assign them in the
configuration.
Those cost element groups should be defined as Master data before uploading Maintenance orders / scheduling
Maintenance plans.
Permits:
During Cut Over activities / Back logs, Permit functionality may not be required as the orders are in past &
they might have got approval in legacy system already. Once all the Back logs are uploaded, these Permit
system should be activated.
Maintenance Strategies:
As per the business requirement, Maintenance Strategies should have been defined before uploading Task List
& Maintenance Plans. Maintenance Strategy should be defined as per Scheduling Indicator. Each scheduling
indicator should be restricted with one or 2 (max) maintenance strategies.
This template should have been shared with Power Users & the same should have been prepared as per the
Technical Object. This template is required for strategy & multi counter plan. For single cycle plan, start date
can be arrived easily, so this template will not be required.
This template should contain details like Technical Object, Operations on that, Last date / reading happened on
operation wise, next date / reading on which that operation should fall on due, current counter reading for
performance based cycle.
This Template should have been shared with the Power users & these details should be captured from cut off
date. This details contain Open orders, In Process Orders with Partial Confirmation / Partial GI, etc.,
Completed Orders without Settlement, etc.,
Conclusion:
This document can guide you in the critical phase of Implementation Project as check list. This list may not
have 100 % data, but it will give some overall idea on the Cut Over details.

Objective:
This document will give the insight of Cut Over Activities to be done in terms of Plant Maintenance module
implementations.
Number Ranges:
Number Ranges for Equipment, Measuring Point & Maintenance Plans can be defined based on the categories.
This will be helpful over the period to understand the category of Master data by viewing its number.
Equipment:
Equipment categories can be defined as per Business Requirement. Equipment Number ranges can be defined
based on Equipment categories.
Measuring Point:
1. Measuring Point
2. Measuring Point Counter
3. Measuring Point Qualitative
Maintenance Plan:
Task List:
Task List has its own classification as Equipment, Functional Location & General. So, the same can be
followed to define the number ranges.
Maintenance Notification:
Maintenance Notification types are client level configuration, so its not possible to define the number ranges
based on Notification type & Maintenance Planning Plant / Maintenance Plant combination. If this requires to
differentiate the notifications based on Maintenance Plant, then separate notification types should be defined &
the control can be given through authorization.
But Number ranges for Notifications can be defined at Notification type level.
Maintenance Order:
The same scenario as Maintenance Notification applies to Maintenance Order as well. Number ranges can be
possible at Maintenance Order type. If you want to differentiate at Planning plant level, then Order types
should be created & assignment should have been made accordingly.
Selection Screen Variants can be defined in the Configuration & the same can be transported to Target clients.
Else, this can be done as Client Level Settings.
The above given list are the commonly used data on List editing. As per the requirement, Selection variants
can be defined.
Conclusion:
These are the basic Cut Over Activities to be done for SAP Plant Maintenance.
