I am trying to understand the costs overview on a maintenance order - looking at the PMCO table

[derek_morin]

I am trying to understand the costs overview on a maintenance order.  We want to be able to display the costs on a maintenance order.

I found the PMCO table and on the internet I found someone say: Value type 4 is actual cost and value type 1 is planned cost.  ( WRTTP on PMCO )

There is also the VORGA column ( Budget Type Budgeting/Planning ) which in many cases is blank for me.

Here are the non blank vorga entries from PMCO

VORGA

=====

KOAO

COIN

RKL

KPPS

KOAL

KOAR

KPPP

KZPI

KPPZ

Am I on the right track?  How do I know what the different VORGA values mean?

• For field VORGA, look at table T022 (text table T022T for this FI/CO type.
• For a PM/PS classification look at field  ACPOS and table TPIR2 (text table TPIR2T) - SM30 on V_TPIR2_PM or SPRO.

That is helpful - I guess I probably should have asked, how do I distinguish between estimated, actual, and planned costs on PMCO?

So to be clear you want to understand the displayed data of the overview tab in IW33 cost tab?

AFAIK The rule from PMCO is

if type actual (pmco-wrrtp = '4')
     > Actual
elseif type planned (pmco-wrttp= '1')
  if actual version (pmco-versn = '000' )
       > Planned
  else
      > Estimated

Thank you very much.

  How do you learn that kind of stuff?  I have no idea how you would figure out that PMCO algorithm but it seems to be correct.

Are there any websites or tricks in SAP where you can figure out how one database table column is related to another table? 

Again, thanks for all help, just wondering if you have any quick and easy tips or suggestions.
