1. Introduction
SAP R/3 is an “integrated and industry-independent standard software” which
covers integrates and connects all functional areas in a business. SAP AG defines
integration as "defined communication". Although R/3 is designed for complete
integration, it can also be used for a couple of business areas.
SAP is the abbreviation for “Systems Applications and Products in Data
Processing”.
The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of SAP PM Functionality and
the details of how the transactions are carried out in SAP R/3.
The document has been organized as follows;
 Master data maintenance required for PM module is covered first. Master data
maintenance is the most important aspect as these data affects all the transaction
where that Master data is used. It is very much controlled by authorizations as per
the policy of the company.
 As a PM user, you will be using various transactions to replicate day-to-day work
in SAP R/3. So all the transactions, which are relevant to you for carrying out
Plant Maintenance activities, are covered in this.

Logging onto the SAP R/3 system
 Sap R/3 systems are client systems. The client enables you to run
several business operations at the same time in one SAP R/3 system.
 Client is, in organizational terms, an independent unit in the system.
Clients have their own data environment and therefore their own user
master and transaction data, assigned user master records and chart
off accounts and specific customizing parameters.
 So that you log on to SAP R/3 system, you must have a master record
created for you for corresponding client. For reasons of access

3. Master Data
3.1Functional Location
Functional locations are elements of a technical structure (for example, functional
units within a system). Functional locations can be created according to the
hierarchy, and can be structured based on the following criteria:
 Functional
 Process-related
 Spatial
Each functional location is managed independently in the system, to :
 Manage individual data from a maintenance perspective for the object
 Perform individual maintenance tasks for the object
 Keep a record of the maintenance tasks performed for the object
 Collect and evaluate data over a long period of time for the object
Trigger:
Functional locations need to be structured according to functional, process-related or
spatial criteria. Whenever any new location identified we need to create Functional
location.

3.3 Equipment Bill of Material
A “Bill Of Material” (BOM) is a complete, formally structured list of the components
making up a technical object or an assembly. The list contains the object numbers of
the individual components together with their quantity and unit of measure. The
components can be stock or non-stock spares or assemblies, which in turn can be
described using maintenance BOMs.
BOMs are primarily used for the following purposes:
 Structure description
BOM describes the structure of a technical object or material. Using maintenance
BOMs maintenance tasks can be planned
 Assignment of spare parts
BOM is used in plant maintenance to assign spares for a technical object or
material. This is shown in the figure below:

3.4 General maintenance Task lists
Task Lists.
Task list is defined as the set of work instructions that will help a maintenance
planner schedule his day-to-day job in a predefined manner
Maintenance task lists describe a sequence of individual maintenance activities,
which must be performed repeatedly within a company. Task lists are used to
standardize these recurring work sequences and to plan them more effectively.
Task lists can be grouped, for example in to two groups - "Inspection" and
"Mechanical Repairs".
The individual maintenance task lists within the group "Mechanical Repairs" and are
identified by the task list counter numbers 01 and 02 as shown in following fig.
General Maintenance Task List
This type of task list is generic in nature i.e. the same general task list can be
used both for equipment and functional location and also for more than one
equipment or functional location of the same type or different types.
Similar general task lists can be grouped and several individual general maintenance
task lists can be created.
General task lists can be used to reduce the time spent creating individual functional
location/equipment task lists.
Trigger:
Need to prepare a sequence of activities that must be repeatedly performed within a
company.

of a boiler, or the number of run hours of a machine)
In Plant Maintenance, measuring points are located on technical objects, in other
words, on pieces of equipment or functional locations.
Measuring points are classified into:
Measuring points
Normal inspection points like temperature, pressure readings
Counters
Counter is a provision in my SAP ERP to represent the wear and tear of an object,
consumption, or the reduction of an object‟s useful life
Counters can be used to accumulate the readings like equipment run hours,
Energy
Consumption readings, etc.
Trigger:
A measurement or counter reading for any Equipment/ Functional location to capture
its current condition.
Business Process Procedure Overview
Measurement will be at a measuring point or a counter.

Business Process Description Overview
A work center is an organizational unit that defines where and when an operation
should be carried out within a plant. A work center is unique within a plant. Work
centers can be machines, people or production lines. Operations that need to be
executed are defined on a task list and executed at the corresponding user assigned
work center. This transaction enables the user to create basic data, set defaults,
assignments, and define capacities and scheduling data pertinent to a work center.

End User Manual

3.9 Maintenance Planning
Maintenance Plan (Single Cycle):
Single cycle plan allows only one cycle frequency, whereas strategy plan allows
multiple frequencies.
Single cycle maintenance plan adopts exactly one time-based or performance
based maintenance cycle, with interval at which the maintenance plan should be
executed.
Trigger:
To plan maintenance events to occur in a regular, periodic manner, based on one
cycle parameter.
Maintenance plans merge the records of specific strategies, task lists, items and
measuring points (when necessary) to generate a recurring maintenance schedule for
the resultant orders which are copied from the task lists.
In addition, they can be used for condition-based maintenance which can generate
notifications or orders based on pre-established performance parameters.
There can be multiple maintenance items in a maintenance plan. A separate order will
generated from the plan for each item.
Maintenance plan is created. The outputs of all three types of maintenance plans

are work orders (and notifications) automatically
created based on pre-established work requirements
and planning parameters. In addition, the upcoming
maintenance can be budgeted. You will be able to
look at what orders are coming due in up to the next
several days, months or years (scheduled calls). In
addition, you can use date monitoring to create the
orders as far in advance as necessary.
In this case, all the maintenance events produced
from this type of plan will be due with at the same time
and in the same frequency.

3.10 Maintenance Plan Scheduling
Maintenance Scheduling:
Scheduling for maintenance jobs as per prepared maintenance plans
During a schedule run, system schedules the planned dates and the call dates
Call date is the advance date of order generation by the system (as defined in
maintenance scheduling parameters) to facilitate maintenance planner to arrange
for execution of maintenance activity on planned date.
The call date is the date on which a maintenance order is created in the system.
This is determined by the call horizon of the maintenance plan.
Trigger:
To schedule the maintenance plan and monitor its progress, including making
scheduling modifications as necessary.

End User Manual
Title: SAP PM
Release: ECC 6.0
Maintenance plans in SAP are designed to automatically generate calls for orders,
notifications, or service requests when the parameters attached to the item are met.
When an order is created, a request for the resources outlined in the order is made.
However, they are not reserved until the order is released. Once released an order may
have goods, labor, and services charged to it. Releasing a work order gives the others
the authority to reserve its resources, purchase additional ones, and start charging
costs. If you decide not to do this work you can release and technically complete the
order immediately.
Note:
The plan is constantly adjusting itself to keep consistent with the cycle lengths linked to
the items. Thus, each time a call is closed outside the cycle length and the associated
tolerances, the plan is adjusted accordingly. If this is a recurring practice, future
planned call dates will be fluctuate sporadically and could be difficult to keep track of.

Measurement readings describe a condition at a measuring point at a particular
point in time, and represent the transaction data for measuring points in the MY
SAP ERP System. They are documented in the form of measurement documents.
An optimum value for a particular measuring point to which the device concerned is
calibrated can be maintained as a target value for the measuring point.
