Hello

For a Maintenance Planner communication with Purchasing Department as well as with Suppliers is essential. For this purpose Purchase requisition got different text which than can be copied to the purchase order and of course passed on to the supplier.
Unfortunately the PM order was not offering to populate these text out of the order. This has changed thanks to the Customer Connect Initiative.

Within the Customer Connect Initiative we enhanced the Plant Maintenance Integration into the Purchase Requisition.
We give you now possibility now to define more information which can be passed to your supplier as well as internal information.
The following texts are supported:

  • Item Note

  • Delivery Note

  • Comments


This is available for external procured operations (Control Key PM02 and PM03) as well as for Components  which are procured (item Category non stock)

This is giving the Planner who is defining the work which has to be conducted the possibility to define more precisely information where the service has to be delivered and additional information as well as internal comments.

 

This has been realized in  SAP GUI for Order

  • Operation Overview

  • Detail Screen for Operation

  • Component Overview

  • Detail Screen for Component


as well as in Basic Order View

  • Operation

  • Component


The Copy Rules for Note and Delivery are defined and will be shipped. For the text Type "Comment" in standard delivery we will not copy to the purchase requisition but you are able to maintain your own Text type and copy rule in the Implementation Guide.

This leads to an Purchase Requisition in MM which will get populated now with the relevant texts as you can easily identify  in the picture below



The labeling of the push buttons can be changed in customizing:
