Asset Repair process

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have created an asset master for each asset.Then if asset (e.g. Transformer) is required to sent outside for repairing.

1)How to map the process in SAP?.

2)How to track the movement of Asset from vendor

3)What will be accounting entries.

Please guide me to map this scenario.

Hi,

As i feel we can map this activities by this,

1] Create a Non valuated material for sending out the material with Account assignment cat-A

2] Send that material in 541 by giving the transformer details in the Text promt. to the Vendor

3]By this yo can have report to show material with Vendor.

4]Once Repairing work is over Cancel the 541 Material document so that materials are back to your premises.

5]Then create Service Purchase order then clear the service charges through External service management process.

You can develop some reports for material pending with Vendor, Delivery challen printout etc using ABAP develeopment as per requirements.

Try it You will get it

With regards

for your information, in RPO text is maintained for Asset and the component is Non-valuated material.

hi

There is no way to send the Asset-Transformer to to a sub_contractor for repairing unles you have a material code for it since for a Sub_contract Po we need to issue the component, for your case the asset itself. You have to have the complete cycle of maintaining the Material master, a rec-cursive BOM for it as sending and receiving material is same and decide the Price for service/repair, PO, goods issue and goods receipt.

In std settings Combination item category L/account assignment category A not defined to create a sub_contract PO for the asset.

Or else create a normal cost center or service PO for the asset and finish of the work, but in this case you need to do certain movements in FI/CO for adding or deleting the expenses due to the repair for the Asset. So you take a call how to proceed to suit your needs.
