Outline Agreements for services/material/labor

[former_member765518]

Novice to setting up Purchasing processes in SAP for the Maintenance Group, which is were I live in SAP. I've used/managed existing Purchasing process flows setup outside of my expertise. But, now it is becoming imperative that I find a more efficient way of tracking/reporting on blanket purchase order activity especially when the cost is to be associated to a work order.

Can someone kindly provide a detailed, step by step instructional on how to setup and use Outline Agreements to purchase services, material, and labor via a Work Order. We currently generate 48 "blanket purchase orders" every year to address the general need of services/material/labor associated with work orders for general maintenance work, and these general needs have no documentation as to where the service/material/labor went.

My hope is to setup DOL PO document type of Outline Agreements (sorry, I may be saying that incorrectly) such that whenever a work order is created for general equipment repair/heavy duty equipment rentals and services/contractor labor, the associated "blanket purchase order" is added to the Operations tab of the work order.

For future reference; you will get a better response if you also tag your posts with: PLM Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)/Plant Maintenance (PM).

Have you looked at creating a task list to store the services/material/labor in the operations. Then when you insert the task list into the order you can choose which operations you require. An extension of this would be to use configurable task lists which gives you option of automatically choosing operations depending on the values you have entered in the in the class/characteristics.
