Auto settle maintenance (material + labor) cost

[nakul_ahirrao]

Hi Gurus,

Want to auto settle maintenance (material + labour) cost to multiple or groups of cost centres in PM work order.

In a normal scenario, we settle all costs to an equipment cost centre but I want to settle to multiple cost centers (3 CC). How that can be configured. Manually it is possible but how it can be automated.

Regards,

Nick

Nick,

Do your orders have Operation Level Costing (OLC) active - i.e. settlement at order operation level?

If so, then you can have operations for each equipment and then settle the costs as per your table:

• Machine 1: CC1 at 50%
• Machine 1: CC2 at 50%
• Machine 2: CC5 at 10%
• Machine 2: CC7 at 80%
• Machine 2: CC9 at 10%

However, if settlement is at order header level (i.e. non-OLC) then the total settlement is 200% which is not normally accepted (although I think it may be technically possible). You would need to discuss whether this is possible and acceptable with your Finance Team.

Nick,

How would you decide the cost centres to be used in settlement, and what proportion of the costs would be attributed to each cost centre?

As Vijay points out, you will probably need to to develop a solutoin via user-exit IWO10027 (SMOD).

Hi Pete,

I have already defined equipment, respective CC and proportion. The list will be like below.

In this case, what would your suggestion.

Machine 1 CC1 50 CC2 50 Machine 2 CC5 10 CC7 80 CC9 10

We created an enhancement which applies settlement rules based on the Maintenance Activity Type on the order. Essentially what happens is the program runs, and finds the appropriate settlement rule in a table using the specified MAT and applies it to the order. You could probably do something similar but make the lookup based on FLOC or equipment.

Hi Nick,

In such a scenario, I would prefer to go with custom settlement rule using enhancement.

You can come up with suitable logic for your requirement that derives settlement rule, probably referencing a custom table that gives flexibility.
