Introduction:

SAP PM (Plant Maintenance) is mostly used in different business-like Technology and Services, Oil & Gas Energy, Chemicals and Food & Beverages. SAP Plant Maintenance is a functional module which handles the maintaining of equipment's for Service and repair. The integration of a plant maintenance system with an SAP EWM system involves coordinating maintenance activities and managing the inventory and logistics in your warehouses. This integration includes processes such as asset management, maintenance scheduling, work order management, and asset tracking. 

In this blog I will explain how the SAP Plant Maintenance (EAM) is Integrated with SAP Extended Warehouse Management

 

Process Flow

To achieve this, we must go with following steps.

S/4HANA Configuration

1)Define Maintenance Planning plant.

PATH: - SPRO-IMG- Enterprise Structure - Definition - Plant Maintenance - Maintain Maintenance Planning Plant

4)Define Planner group

A person or group of persons are responsible for the PLANNING and PROCESSING of several maintenance Work Orders.

PATH: - SPRO-IMG- Plant Maintenance and Customer Service - Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service - Technical Objects- General Data- Define Planner group.

5)Define Work Center

It represents a unit that can perform work. It can be a group of person, equipment and special resources used to MANAGE the work order and/or PERFORM work order operations during maintenance execution. There are 2 types, Main Work Centre (responsible for overall management of the work) and Operational Work Centre (executes the operation activities).

7)Create Functional Location

A functional location represents the system area at which an object can be installed. Objects that can be installed at functional locations are called pieces of equipment in the SAP system

8)Create a Equipment

An equipment is an asset or an individual object that can be maintained independently. It is tangible and can be moved from place to place. An equipment can be installed or dismantled at functional locations.

Tcode:IE01

Note:

SAP Plant Maintenance with SAP EWM is possible from SAP S/4 HANA 2021 onwards only.

Conclusion: By above configurations and testing now you got an idea how to do SAP Plant Maintenance (EAM) Integrated with SAP Extended Warehouse Management with outbound delivery in SAP S/4 HANA 2022.

Thanks for your patience to read my blog and give your valuable feedback

Thanks
