*Variant Configuration in PM !!!

Hi PM Gurus,

All possible operations were maintained in a General Maintenance Task Lists, I wonder whether the SAP system could only select the specific operation during maintenance order creation when particular characteristic values in the classification of EQUIPMENT apply.

(I created Object Dependencies for individule operations of general maintenance task lists)

Done up to now:

I have created a configuration profile for the General Maintenance Task Lists, assign a class and characteristic value.

Now the system can select the operation based on the characteristic value in configuration profile.

which means I need to create several configuration profile for the General Maintenance Task Lists, it would be not convenient to just maintain specific operation in corresponding GM task lists.

Can the system select the operation based on the char values in EQUIPMENT?

Please advice.

Cheers,

Sun

Sun,

Try the following steps

I. Define classification data

1 Create characteristics that will influence the selection of an operation on a work order (CT04)

2 Create class type: 300 (CL02)

3 Assign influencing characteristics to class 300 (CL02)

II. Create object dependencies (selection conditions)

1 Create individual dependency -per each variation of the characteristic value (CU01)

(Example: 00010: <Characteristic1 name> = 'RED' AND <Characteristic2 name> = 'RECP")

2 Change the status of the dependency -to released (CU02)

III. Create configurable material

1 Create configurable material -SAP standard type = KMAT (MM01)

2 Create configuration profile for the material (CU41)

2.1 Enter name, Class Type, and Status

2.2 Assign Class to configuration profile

2.3 Enter value for the characteristic

IV. Assign configurable material to equipment record

1 Access Equipment record (IE02)

2 Activate "Configuration Data" tab: Edit> View Selection; check "Configuration" box

3 On "Configuration Data" tab, enter configurable material defined

4. Verify characteristic value is entered

V. Create configurable general task list

1 Create general task list (IA05)

2 Assign object dependencies to operations: Extras> Object dependencies> Assignments

3 Create configuration profile for the task list (CU41)

-->1 Enter name, Class Type, and Status

-->2 Assign Class to configuration profile

VI. Create maintenance order

a Create manual work order (IW31)

-->1 Assign configurable task list to the work order

b Automatic creation of work order from a maintenance plan

-->1 Create maintenance plan (IP41, IP42 or IP43)

-->2 Assign configurable general task list to the plan

-->3 Schedule maintenance plan (IP10)

b.4 Generate automatic work order from maintenance plan (IP30)

Let me know your observations.

Hi Everyone.

I have a doubt about the classes 002 and 300.

I already figure out the variant configuration for super task list where I created a class 300 with a characteristic, after I created a Kmat material, after I created a Configuration profile for task list and I assign the material into the equipment.

This configuration allow create a maintenance order with super task list where I can choose the operations based the value of the characteristic, but the characteristic it is into the material and not into the equipament.

Can I link the classe 002(equipment)  with class 300 (material) so that how to select a value in the equipment and this value is automatically transfer for class / characteristic of the material?

I'm sorry, my english is terrible.

Hi Babu,

After I assign the KMAT material to the equipment master, it works well.

Thanks a lot.
