Like what all functionalities are there what can we do with this module.

I want to know it from the Functional domain side not on the SAP technical front.

Technically speaking I understand we have Functional Locations in which we have various equipments where we have different task lists and service materials and Preventive miantatinence service orders.

I want to know it from the Functional domain side not on the SAP technical front.

Functional flow....What should we maintain as masters .....

Then how is the system going to give the schedule of the maintainence.

How we can do breakdown maintainence?

and how will it ne mapped in SAP from the FI point of veiw.

How do we manage the costs accounts.

Thanks in advance.

regards,

SAP SD

Dear,

Breakdown Maintenance planning: It depends upon your order type and notification type which you have customized.

With FI and CO integration: Settlement of maintenance cost to be done where and when to be done. Costing of work which is getting calculated by activity type used in work center.

In PM Planning you have many options to plan your activities.

1. You can plan it on time base

2. You can Plan it on Performance base

Also i have forgot to mention in last mail that there are many reports are available for analysis purposes.

Regarding documention required, I need to ask you whether you are going to support the client or you are itself going to use.

If you are going to support the client then make surer that the folloowing documentiong from client side should be available at your end.

1. Business Blue print (To understand processes configured at client site)

2. Configuration documentation (To understant the configuration done there)

3. If Any Issues , Developmemnts, Enhacement documents , List of Z-Developments done previously, (Functional Requirement Documents, Functional Specifications for each issues developed, Technical Specifications documents if available ).

Everyone is trying to be very helpful, but consider how you would answer the question if a PM Consultant, working in a User Company requested all the same information for the SD module. How would you hope to answer such a question?

I had a similar burden placed upon me, many years ago, to represent myself as an MM Consultant, and the Client ate me for breakfast!

It's not fair to you. Whoever has assigned you this responsibility should position you for success by arranging for you to recieve all the necessary SAP training.
