EQUNR and TPLNR don't show up in MPLA

[Former Member]

Hi,

I encountered a problem doing functional data testing for Maintenance Plan an Item upload.

When I go to SE16n to check if the entries were uploaded properly using an LSMW program, the Equipment Number (EQUNR) and Functional Location Number (TPLNR) don't show up in the table.

However, when I open these Maintenance Plans individually (using IP03), I can see that the appropriate EQUNRs and TPLNRs are there - the fields are filled in.

I assume this is some kind of an SAP bug, but I could not have found the appropriate SAP Note. It is possible, though, that I was not using the most efficient way to search for it, but I never had to raise nor use a SAP note and am not sure how to effectively find it.

Do you know how can I resolve this issue? I would be grateful for your advice.

Thank you!

Hi Michal,

Do you find equipment number and location/account assignment populated in MPOS table. Use the maintenance plans you have in MPLA table for this check?

I think the technical objects assigned on maintenance plans indirectly create a maintenance item and technical object info is usually used from MPOS table.

The technical obejects are assigned to the maintenance items (not header).

The table links are MPLA -> MPOS -> ILOA (via ILOAN field)

You could also look at the folowing view tables via SE16: VIMHIO, VIMHIO_IFLOS, VIMHIS, VIMPLA, VIMPOS

Hi Michal,

Table MPLA is for Maintenance Plan

Table MPOS is for Maintenance item.

Technical Objects will be available in MPOS only.
