Plant Maintenance Migration

[andy_leong]

Hi, I am new to PM. Would appreciate if any one could direct or advice on strategies of migrating Plant maintenance to a new company. What are the things that I need to migrate and take note.

My apologies on my question.

I will try to be as clear as possible.

The situation is as follows. We are currently using Plant Maintenance and is trying to find out how we can successfully migrate all open service orders together with the costs, postings and master data to a new Company (B) that will be setup within the same client. It is something like carving out a new Company (B) and moving what ever is currently in Company (A) over less the historical data.

In this migration, even data from HR, MM, PS, SD, FI will be moving to the new Company (B)

So we would like to know how we should be approaching the migration and the things we need to take note of.

Hope I am presenting a clear picture of what I wish to achieve.

You can upload master data (e.g.Fun Loc, Equipment) and transactional data (e.g.service order ) by LSMW to new company. Make sure if service entry is done for some orders you upload that data in new company as well so that you will get all costs. (same case for order confirmations). Mostly in migration we upload open orders however if you need historical data you will have to upload completed notification and order.

Its like migrating the open data from legacy to SAP. Now you have data in SAP (in one company) & want to move another company.

1. Get the open documents (Notifications, Orders, Partial Confirmations, etc.,)

2. As MM data is also getting migrated, Open PR, Open PO, Partial GR & Open SES will be captured in that open data.

3. If you uploading that partial confirmation, the value already posted in Secondary Cost Element should be deducted while uploading that in FI open data.

4. If you upload open GR, then the stock qty & value should be adjusted. This is the same case for Service Entry Sheet as well.

Here some sequence should be followed as per PM & related documents. After uploading G/L opening balance (by removing these opening data effect), you should upload the PM order data. After uploading PM orders, PR & PO details should be uploaded by referring these Order numbers. This is the same case for GR & SES.

I hope you are talking about the Plant Maintenance Implementation of new company from the existing solution.

If both the companies are having same kinds of business, then you can create new company, plants for new company & planning plants.

Then extend your notification types, order types & other plant dependent configuration for new planning plant.
