Maintenance Activity Type and Service cost

[Former Member]

Hello friends,

Is there any relationship between Maintenance Activity Type[MAT] and Service Cost ?

Actually all the PM02 - Preventive Maintenance Order with MAT as Cost collector are actually accounted under service cost unlike other MATs.

Please let me know more information regarding the above.

Prasad,

The Mainenance Activity Type (or PM Activity Type) on the order header has no link the the costs in a standard sytem.

Scenario in our company is something like below:-

1.All the maintenance activity is done internally and no Serivces involved in the order

2.Some of the Non-codified materials for order consumption are Purchased.

With above, When I do the Cost Analysis MCI8 for all PM02 - Preventive Maintenance Orders for last year I could make the below observations:-

1. Till Jun08 there is no service cost [which is normal]

2. From Jul08 there is Service Cost involved , which am not able to understand.

Could you please help me out?

Prasad,

Has someone changed the Value Category settings in the IMG.

Or are you using a different Cost Element for your "non-codified materials".

hi prasad.

MAT maintenance activity type is primarly used for reporting purpose if your using one order type then u can further differentiate ur work using MAT ... sometimes it is used for auto assigning of permits also... i think i doesnt have any control on service costs ....
