Refurbishment procedure

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

As I had gone thru the forum I understand the process to some extent and please correct me if I am wrong in the below steps.

Valuation category should be configured in material master and it shd be assigned in account assignment in valuation class.

Also in PM config we need to flag the refurbishment option for PM04 order type

Then we need to make sure whether PlgoodsIss and unplgoodsIss has been checked in goods movement documentation so that serial number will be visible at the time of doing Iw8w.

1. Materials should have the serial number assigned to it which we can create thru IQ01.

Also we need to assign the valuation type in batch equipment view

2. Then as per the process...since we need to dismantle the equipment ..we will do IE4N .

3.Then we will create the refurbishment order thru Iw81 and will do the repair

4. If any spare parts required to repair ..we will issue by doing MIGO.

4. Once repair is done..we will do IW8w GR to put them back in store

5.COst will get settled to the material.

Where we need to change the C3 to C2 as it was repaired?

moreover i dont see any objects option in my refurbishment order.

Pls clarify these tow things and also let me know my steps are ok to proceed.

Dear Vijay,

If you have selected your order type as refurbishment then after entering in IW81 you will have to field certain mandatory field.

1- Valuation Type From C3 To C2

2-Storage Location

3-Plant

4-No. of quantity

These are also necessary setting for refurbishment process apart from you have written.

Dear Vijay,

As you are saying that its not accepting other one then I feel valution type is not maintained. First your valuation type should be minatained with storage location and it should have that much quantity of material.

Also study about Moving Average Price Valuation, Standard Price Valuation. Floating Price Valuation in Refurbishment process from SAP HELP

Hi Thyigarajan,

Thanks a lot for sendind the link.I understand the process thru this but still need some hands on it to close this thread.

Refurbishment process can be done without serialization ? if yes how would we identify the piece of refurbed material when it goes back to the storeroom.

Is that mandatory to process IE4N ins/dis process ? If not how do they remove the damaged piece from the place and wht is the record in sap ?

Also how moving avg price is calculated in refurbishment as repair cost is settling back to material

Lets say...if we buy 10 pieces of materil worth of 100$ each which it comes to 1000$.Out of 10 one got refurbished and it has a refurb cost of 50$ which total comes to tht material as 150$ when it go back to stroe room. and rest of 9 new pieces will be in 100$.As we cannot sell the refurbished material for 150$ and also we cannot reduce the price of orignal ones as well.in this case how it get calcuated?

hi

Refurbishment can be done with or without serial number.if you have high cost equipment with only one no ,then you can proceed without serial number,but as you said if you want to track them then it will clear to have serial number.

Regarding the cost the as you said the total stock value will decrease to 900$ for C1 valuation ,and the C2 will have the its own value as you defined .while checking the material value kindly specify the valuation category and check .then you can find the exact one

No this is not correct...

- 10 @ $100 = $1000

- Remove one item from stock for refurbishment = $900

- Refurbish one item @ $50 (repair cost) + $100 (material cost) and return to stock (inc settlement)

- Stock cost now becomes $1050 with 10 in stock. So each item is now $105 each

Things to be aware of here are:

- The moving average price may well have changed during the processing of the refurb order

- An extremely high repair cost can change the MAP dramtically, especially if there are only a few in stock at the time the settlement is performed

Don't forget that you can use the standard price on the material. In this case the material will be withdrawn at $100 and returned at $100. The repair costs are posted to a difference account .

HI Pete,

How come the refurbished material can sell or used as same as new piece C1 price ?In this case..all the materials will be at price of 105$.Refurbished piece cannot be sold as new ones rite ?

Pls advice.

my assumption was that the material was issued out of stock, and back into stock at the same cost. This may not be the case...

If you are using the "typical" SAP example of C1 (new), C2 (refurbished) and C3 (defective), then all of these can have different prices.

But in principal, these nothing stopping you issuing a C2 or C3 back to C1...

The main point I was trying to make is that the new moving average price is applied to all items in stock. There's no way of making a single material a different price to the others withing the same plant/sloc/batch (even with serial numbers).

Hi Vijay,

You can verify the Master batch, Stock batch and Stroge locations fieds in Ser Data tab of Equipment master were updated to C3 and respective SLoc after Goods receipt. Then only the refurbishment order will accept From Batch & To Batch fields.

hi

while creating the refurbishment order itself you can specify from which condition you are refurbishing to which condition ie from C3 to C2

Also while making IW8W you the specified To valuation category will be copied

HI Vijay,

1.refurbishment can only be carried for one material per order and the components tab suggests that if you need any other internal material for refurbishment.
