Equipment Exchange

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I am doing Equipment exchange process wherein I maintain Item category as N in the component tab of the maintenance Order, so system ask about the purchasing information and maintain the same as well.

System generate PR on saving the maintenance Order

Release PR by ME54N

Create PO reference to PR ME21N

Approve PO by ME29N Account assignment category in the PO is F(Order)

MIGO GR Purchase Order Mvmt type 101

But still stock shows On Order stock, Now Issue/problem is while I am trying to install by IE4N Movement type (201) i am not able to do so.

Kindly tell, Is there any step missing? why IE4N is not able to find the equipment.

Experts Early response is highly appreciable.

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps now you should talk about the problem in installing Equipment. (Forget about Order and material not clearing, Serial number etc). What stops you from installing? Why you are using IE4N ? Why don't you use IE02 for installing?

Dear All,

If there is some other option Kindly Let me know. I  am following SAP Best Practice  document D58_ERP606_BPD_EN_AU wherein the  Equipment exchange process is mentioned.

Thanks

Hello Vikas,

This discussion somehow did not go proper way. But it must have certainly given you the idea about a better way of asking if you start afresh. So what I would suggest is CLOSE THIS THREAD by clicking on Mark as Assumed answered at the top (below title) and start a new discussion. This time give all the information like the best practices reference etc. Most importantly you should mention the errors where you are stopped to proceed further.

Good luck

Hello Vikas,

The total process is confusing. This will get cleared when you tell to the point what is your objective. Why you should go for N/PR/PO/GR etc.? Why not a Refurbishment Order instead?

You have just repeated the same except for initial lines.Please do not repeat after N. That was understood. You are telling both Refurbishment Order and Maintenance Order. Which is correct?

Also what do you mean by Exchange?

Dear Sir,

By Mistake I mention i created the refurbishment Order for Equipment exchange process, Actually i created Notification and then Maintenance Order type PM01 and take Item category as N in the component tab and then below Process.

• System generate PR on saving the maintenance Order
• Release PR by ME54N
• Create PO reference to PR ME21N
• Approve PO by ME29N Account assignment category in the PO is F(Order)
• MIGO GR Purchase Order Mvmt type 101
• But still stock shows On Order stock, Now Issue/problem is while I am trying to install by IE4N Movement type (201) i am not able to do so.

Kindly tell, Is there any step missing? As You mentioned by Refurbishment Order, Kindly tell how and if any step missing Please tell.

While I am doing IE4N not able to install the equipment.

Kindly respond.

Dear Sir ,

In Hurry Forgot to mention, The Objective is to do the Equipment exchange Process with Vendor.

Thanks

Vikas,

In my view you have mixed-up the processes. I had no exposure to this Vendor business. I feel your process ends when you do GR and here there is no role of Equipment. Your process only talks about the Component in the Order.There is no relation to Equipment. When you talk about Exchange and IE4N, then you are talking about Refurbishment. However, let other friends come-in and help you.

Good luck

Dear Sir,

while I received the stock after GR wrt Purch Order the stock is there but unable to install on the desired Functional Location. as this stock comes in the stock with reference to Maintenance Order.

So How can we move this stock out of this type( Order type Stock) and Install on the Functional Location with IE4N.

Thanks

Dear Sir,

The stock I recived from Vendor has serial No and in background equipment master is generated and with IQ02 i update the equipment and Now I want to install this equipment.

so this is the realtion of the component with Equipment which i want to install.

Dear Sir,

I am Using IE4n for Goods movement of equipment from stock to the installation Loc, so i can track and show in the system about the Goods Movement of equipment.

With IE02 we dont have Goods Movement of equipment.

Thanks
