Single Counter or Multi Counter plan for Different equipment

[Bidhu]

Hello Experts,

We are in explore phase of S/4HANA Service 2022.

My company is selling Machines and do service for them for long term. For all these machines have two to three measuring point (Lets say two for now). Running hours and Number of Days. Business wants to create one generic Multi counter measuring point and assign the equipment whenever sold. and wants to create maintenance service orders, as per individual counter reading / measuring document.

How can I create Measuring point without equipment number and how can I assign multiple equipments to single Multi counter measuring point.

Similar example can be Car Service, or Utility for single cycle etc.

thanks

Bidhu

Hello Bidhu,

The primary option, short of an enhancement, from which you can trigger the maintenance plan is the measuring point for which a record needs to exist for each relevant equipment as you've noted. Because every equipment will have different usage after sold, it is normal to use at least one measuring point to trigger the maintenance plan. Suggestion is to explore use PM/QM integration or PM Checklist which is built on PM/QM integration where you can use a master inspection characteristic (MIC) for inspections that span many equipment records. This is much more robust (and correspondingly complex) solution for inspections. Despite that, it still does not offer a replacement for a measuring point setup as a counter or do MICs have the ability to trigger a maintenance plan. Hope that helps.

Hello Bidhu

you mean create the equipment+counter+maintenance plan in just one transaction. Don't you?

That is not supported.

Hello Silvia,

Thats not what I want. my thoughts are like counter and maintenance plan should not be equipment specific. While I should be able assign the counter and Maintenance plan to any new equipment I create and with updating measurement document, service orders will be created. I understand this is not possible now, but should be good feature for future release. this will reduce the data maintenance.

Thank you
