SAP PM solution for already running environment .

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I am in the process of proposing the SAP PM solution to the client which  already running  SAP MM FICO and SD modules .

There will be no further redesigning of MM , FICO  to accommodate PM .

can you guys share your experience on this kind of scenario.

There won't be much difference in implementing SAP PM solution for the client who is running SAP currently when comparing to New Implementation of all modules.

Here, you can't have comfort of defining on all the dependent configurations as per your wish. You have to use the existing one.

You have to make use of existing Organizational Structure (Plant) to define Maintenance Plant & Planning Plant. You have to use existing G/L and OBYC settings to accommodate your Materials.

If no Valuation Class (G/L) has been defined for Spare Parts, then you may need to discuss with FICO Consultant / Finance Department on using existing Valuation class & Specific G/L in OBYC settings.

But that OBYC settings for Materials should cover Goods Issue as well as Goods Receipt postings from PM order for the desired valuation class.

Ajit,

Implementing the PM Module will most probably require some form of change in FICO/MM. Although SD shouldn't need any changes.

Examples would be:

• FICO: new cost centres, activity types, settlement rules, etc
• MM: new plants, storage locations, materials, etc
