Internal Order Linking to PM orders

[sp0123]

Dear Experts

I need to create an Internal Order and Link it to PM order,

Following are the Steps I need to perform

PM Order Requisition - Create Internal Order

PM Order Requisition - create WBS element

PM Order Requisition - Create Work Order- PM13 (Maintenance Work Order for Projects) PM Order Requisition - Display Purcahse Requisition

PM Order Requisition - Create Purchase order from requisition

PM Order Requisition - Goods Receipt PM Order Requisition - Asset Captilisation

The UAT Test Script Says

Create Internal Order KO01

Create WBS Element CJ01

Create Work Order IW31 -Order type: PM13

Check PR IW33 , ME53N

Create CAPEX PO from PR -ME21N

Goods receipt -MIGO

Asset Capitalization

These is for Testing Purpose.

But my question is

1) How do I link the Internal Orders to the PM orders?

2) Can Anyone suggest me a Business Flow based on their experience to complete the above mentioned Steps?

Hi,

The purpose of internal order, WBS element and maintenance order is different.... if you have SAP-PS then you can use for over head and capital projects by linking PM orders as a sub-network ..

------------------------------------------------------------------------

PM Order Requisition - Create Internal Order :

PM Order Requisition - create WBS element :

why you need to have PM order for creation of internal order & WBS element ? what is main objective of this function? when we look at transnational cost on your business team, it would be very high... is really your business wants to have so many orders for one business function...

PM Order Requisition - Create Work Order- PM13 (Maintenance Work Order for Projects) PM Order Requisition - Display Purchase Requisition

PM Order Requisition - Create Purchase order from requisition

PM Order Requisition - Goods Receipt PM Order Requisition - Asset Captilization

if you want to have asset capitalization.. SAP PS is the best tool to have in place...rather using SAP PM for capitalization.. however you can have PM ORDER as a sub network in case its very big project and your business wants to monitor at very minute level all activities...

Internal orders are mainly used as a temporary cost collectors...and we can use for small business functions in place of SAP PS...but i am not able to understand why you want to settle SAP PM order to INTERNAL ORDER... here i would like to understand about your settlement receiver in internal order? if your settlement receiver in internal order is cost center and then you have same in PM order too...

To my knowledge you are mixing all concepts in one bowl....please let us know what exactly your business requirement...

Dear Shiv,

Can i know why you want to update wbs -for budgeting or settlement

If for settlement update in equipment same will flow to location tab

For budgeting maintain in additional tab.

For flowing wbs automatically from equipment maintain X in configuration

define transfer of project or investment program.

Enter the internal order on the Location tab of the work order in the Settlement Order field.

This data can then be used to derive the default settlement rules.

Unfortunately this data has not been added into the IW38/9 reports yet, but could be easily achieved with a small development.

Hi Pete

Thanks for the suggestion. I have followed your instructions

I have created an Internal order, then I use the Internal order no. in the Location tab of the PM order and saved it. But the settlement rule in the PM order didn't change. It is displaying the default Settlement receiver.

Do I need to change it manually or will it change automatically once we enter the Internal order in the Location tab?

As per my understanding, We are creating the Internal order, so that we can settle the PM order to the Internal order. Correct me, if I am wrong.
