Updating the Value Categories for Maintenance Orders in S4HC Public Edition for Asset Management

Hi Experts,

Value categories for asset management in S4HC Public Edition were configured during build with some cost elements group assigned then recently it was found out that no value categories for Subcontractor Cost and the cost element is not map to it resulting to no assigned value category in the maintenance order cost overview.

Questions:

1. What will happened if we will be adding new value category for the Subcontractor Cost and assigned the appropriate cost element group?

2. Will the old maintenance orders automatically updated with the new value category? I happened to see that in on-premise there will be need to run program.

Second, the value category Internal Activity where map to a cost element group but the actual cost element being use for time confirmation are different and by the way that is using an Integration to pass the cost to maintenance order. We are not using SAP time confirmation process. It resulting also be assigned to a blank value category summing up to the cost element for subcontractor cost.

Questions:

1. What will happened if we will be updating the value category Internal Activity and assigned the appropriate cost element group?

2. Will the old maintenance orders automatically updated with the updated value category/cost element group mapping? I happened to see that in on-premise there will be need to run program.

Appreciate your response on this.

Hi, Do you have a 3 tier public cloud environment? If so, it should be relatively easy to just make the config change in your environment and test the behaviour? I would guess that it works the same as Private Cloud and the older maintenance orders arent updated automatically. You used to have to run that program you refer to to update the PRCO tables after the fact, so it should be that only new maintenance orders get the new values posted into the value categories you have modified. If you do test it out, please let us know how it goes. Tim

Hi Tim, Thank you for your response. And yes, we are in 3-system landscape. Prior testing the configuration change in our Customizing tenant, my intent of asking here is to know if there are negative implication especially when updating the cost element group assigned to the Internal Activity in the Finance aspect? Second, if there is need to run the program to update the old orders, since we are in Public Cloud, SAP will do it right? Via OSS case? Please correct me if my guest is wrong. And also, will there be negative implication as well to Finance on these changes as well? Appreciate if you could give information on these worries. We just need to ensure that there will be no negative impact for those configuration changes. Thank you. Alvin
