Fleet Material Consumption Field "Vehicle Technology" Tab

[Former Member]

I am trying to utilize the gas station function within the Fleet Management Settings of SAP.

I have made the following configuration:

Settings for Fleet Management > Consumption-Relevant Counter Reading Update > Define Tolerance Check for Usage Control

A Short-term Tolerance "Check" 10 10 Information

Settings for Fleet Management > Consumption-Relevant Counter Reading Update > Create Gas Station

0010 Fuel Pump 0010 9999

Settings for Fleet Management > Consumption-Relevant Counter Reading Update > Assign Auxiliary Materials and Consumables

Gas Gas 0010 "Check"

Settings for Fleet Management > Consumption-Relevant Counter Reading Update > Define Key and Cost Object for Updating Material Documents

A Unleaded Gas 03 261 262 "Standing Order Checked"

I have activated the PLM extension as well as the LOG_EAM_CI_3 Business Functions

When I go to the Material Consumption field and click the drop down nothing is appearing and it gives me the message

Vehicle-specific F4 help cannot be processed

Message no. ITOB_FLEET113

Diagnosis

An error occurred during the processing of the F4 help for a

fleet-object-specific input field.

Procedure

Check your entries and, if necessary, your Customizing.

Procedure for System Administration

Normally the Enterprise Add-On (which has the functionality of

consumption recording for fleet objects) must be available in your

system. However, if this is not the case, then this also leads to the

above message. If the Add-On has not been brought in, then the affected

input field should be deactivated in Customizing (using the field

selection).

Are there more business functions that I need to activate to make the material consumption for fleet work?

Thank you

In IMG, under Define Key and Cost Object for Updating Material Documents, define settings for Goods Issue.

Check this link for further clarity.

I have followed the above documentation.

I still recieve the following errors:

In IFCU when trying to enter a measurement document:

Rule for issuing material documents was not found (ITOBFLTCON011)

In IE02 when trying to enter a material consumption and consumption tolerance key:

It tells me the ones I have configured do not exist:

Invalid key A for controlling the material consumption (ITOB_FLEET111)

Is there something special in the work order I have to do to make the material/component an Open Item, or is it an open item if I do not put a required qty?

Marcus,

This is a very obvious problem. The errors you are receiving are because you have not carefully read the links that Maheswaran.K has provided you. Maheswaran.K has over 3,000 forum points and you have 0, not to say you are insignificant, but I would listen to him if I were you.

I had the EA-PLM activated using transaction SFW5

I needed to activate this extension in transaction FIBF as well.

IS means Information System

I understand IS means Information System, but what do you mean by having it updated with the same period.

[Former Member]

System used to update the Information system on periodical basis, may be daily or weekly or monthly.

These settings should not be changed. If you change in the middle, system will delete the previous entries updated for Information system.

[Former Member]

So really I should not have to modify these settings at all.

If that is true I am still not receiving any entries under the "Material Consumption" (Fleet-Consump_Move) or "Consumption Tolerance Fields (FLEET-CONSUMP_TOL)"

I have activated EA-PLM and the enterprise_business functions LOG_EAM_CI_3 and LOG_EAM_PAM

Do you know if I may need to activate another business function?

And when I try and enter an measurement document through IFCU it tells me "Rule for issuing material documents was not found"

I assume that is because I am not able to define the rule in the equipment record

Here we define the settings for calculating the cost of the material. Generally we take a standing order for the cost collecting. And what the key for material consumption we are creating here, we have to use it in the Fleet master data for cost calculation.

For calculating the cost following are the essential things:

i. Create a Normal PM01 order. Assign that material to the order with the open quantity. And release it.

ii. Assign this order in the standing order field of that fleet Object.

iii.. Run the transaction IFCU. And when the material will be putting there, the inventory will be detected and the cost will automatically be updated in the actual cost field of that standing order.

iv. One more thing the IS of Vehicle consumption data is S114 and for Order (almost all standard IS). These all IS should also be updated with same Period (May be days wise or month wise but period should remain same.)

I have followed the above steps. The only 2 I am not certain of is the following:

i. "Assign that material to the order with the open quantity."

I assumed that this means in the work order I do not put any quantity in there.

I have my material, a reqmt qty of 0.00 (because I did not fill anything in), unit of measure, storage location, and plant

iv. What do you mean by all IS shuld also be updated with same period. Where do I find this?

Thank you,
