Process Maintenance Order
Application component: BP for Maintenance Worker
App type: Web Dynpro
Line of business: Asset Management
Leading industry: Cross Industry
Solution capability: Maintenance Execution (S/4, Asset Mgr)
Description: Three apps are provided for processing a maintenance order: Create Maintenance Order, Change Maintenance Order, and Display Maintenance Order. As a maintenance planner, you can create and change orders when a malfunction is detected to define in detail the maintenance tasks that are to be performed on the technical object. You can create a maintenance order for a specific notification or create the maintenance order directly with or without reference to an existing order. When creating or changing a maintenance order, you can either assign existing task lists and notifications or create new ones for the order. In the maintenance order, you provide all the information needed to plan and execute the maintenance work. This includes start and finish dates, location information, planned materials, and production resources/tools. The system supports you in finding the relevant technical object, choosing the required materials and checking their availability, scheduling the job, and determining the costs.

Key features:  If you have the business role Maintenance Planner, you can perform the following tasks: Create a maintenance order directly or for a specific notification.Create a maintenance order using a template (or reference order) and use checkboxes to specify which data you want to be copied from the reference order to the new order.Assign existing task lists and notifications to the order and open the task lists and notifications that are assigned to the order.You can specify that the status of notifications should depend on the status of the orders to which they are assigned. Specify the technical object by using hierarchical structure lists that also provide you with information about assigned materials and components.Display, create, and assign documents at header level and operation level.Create and change order operations and suboperations and explain the work steps that need to be carried out by entering a short description. You can determine dates, capacity requirements, and costs of the maintenance work and choose the required materials using a catalog.Use the scheduling function to determine the actual execution dates, the capacity requirement needed to execute the order, and the date on which a particular material should be available.Determine costs and run cost simulations.Use system statuses and user statuses to document the progress of the repair work and specify which activities the system or users can carry out for an order or an operation.For inspection rounds, enter technical objects and assemblies at operation level and assign measuring points as production resources/tools to the technical objects.Print out the shop paper of the maintenance order physically or virtually on the job card and by doing so, transfer the order to the job list. For example, you can even allow shop papers to be printed for orders that have the status created or technically completed. Note It is recommended to complete the SAP S/4HANA Output Control setup before performing any output related tasks. For more information about the setup, see the topic Setup of SAP S/4HANA Output Control.   Manage print and email output details for output control of maintenance orders by specifying the required print queue for outputs to be printed and providing email details for outputs to be sent by email. The Preview column provides the option to preview the output only after a maintenance order is sent for output.   Add attachments to maintenance orders and provide attachment details such as document type, part, and version. You can also add a description for the attachment.   Assign documents to a material or service at component level. Open quick views to get relevant information about maintenance documents, technical objects, materials, and long texts without having to navigate away from the screen you are working in.  View the final due date of the maintenance order. When you create a maintenance order manually, the final due date is determined based on the priority of the maintenance order. When you select the priority for a maintenance order, the final due date is immediately determined and displayed. Once you have selected a priority and the final due date has been defined, any additional change in priority will not result in a change of the final due date. You can change the final due date directly by editing the field only if you have authorization for the business transaction LACD. If you edit the final due date this way, then the previous final due date is displayed for your reference. If you create a maintenance order based on an existing maintenance notification, the final due date from the maintenance notification is copied into the maintenance order and is not redetermined even if the maintenance order was created days after the creation of the maintenance notification. If the priority of the maintenance order is different from the priority of the maintenance notification from which it was created, the priority of the maintenance notification is not inherited by the maintenance order. The final due date is not redetermined if the priority of the maintenance order is changed. If you change the final due, the previous final due date is updated immediately even before you save the maintenance order. If you change the final due date again, the last changed final due date is shown and not the original final due date.   Generate and process inspection checklists. For more information about the prerequisites that need to be fulfilled to use this feature, see Inspection Checklists on the Web UI.
