How can we assign MIC in breakdown maintenance order

[dhanush_selvaraj]

Hi PM/QM experts,

I am trying to create order manually for breakdown maintenance through IW31. After doing maintenance work, equipment need to be inspected. Is it possible to add Master Inspection Characteristics against operations in the same breakdown maintenance order?

For inspecting the equipment, I would suggest having inspection measuring points that I can refer to in the work order to create measurement documents for inspections, such as done/not done, ok/not ok or specific numerical readings.

I haven't experimented with pulling a task list with MICs in the breakdown order, but you can try.

Given the fact that inspections with MICs follow a specific process and have the specific purpose of calibrations, I would recommend the first approach of recording the measurement documents. SAP allows you to assign ad-hoc measuring points in the work orders from the list of measuring points against the technical asset. Moreover, you can also record ad-hoc measurement documents (no need to assign measuring points first) during order confirmations.

This will keep things efficient and effective.

Regards,

Vijay

Greetings,

I don't think you can assign inspection characteristics to maintenance order directly but you could try maintaining a task list with predefined inspection data.

Before you release the order you could include this task list in the maintenance order via Extras -> Task list selection -> Direct entry. You should get an inspection lot if your order type has inspection type assigned to it.

This would mean that you predefine inspection characteristics. You can always assign additional during results recording as unplanned characteristics.

Best regards, Matjaž.

Hello Dhan, Ideally equipment's are inspected through Calibration methods as per predefined call horizon mentioned maintenance plan. If you still wants to inspect equipment through breakdown maintenance order, you can have validation process mentioned in notification and by having quality inspector task in place. So that it will not allowing closing of breakdown maintenance order until quality tasks is completed.
