Processing of Maintenance Orders
Use
When processing or forwarding maintenance orders, it may be necessary to adjust much of the data contained in the order, for example, the assignment of the individual operations to executing work centers.
This may be the case, if a large number of operations were generated when including general maintenance task lists in an order. For order processing, the transferred executing work centers must be adjusted for each operation.
Another case could be if the executing work centers need to be replaced for one or for all operations when forwarding a planned order to a different maintenance facility.
Two new functions are available for this purpose:
You can use the function for making
mass changes
to executing work centers in maintenance orders to simultaneously change the executing work center for all selected operations.
You can use the function for
converting
executing work centers according to MEBOR in maintenance orders to simultaneously replace a work center according to a predefined rule for all operations. You can specify this rule in the
Work Center Conversion
transaction (transaction code MEBOR).
Prerequisites
The function for converting executing work centers using the
Work Center Conversion
transaction (transaction code MEBOR) is only available if you implement the industry solution
SAP for Discrete Industries and Mill Products (ECC-DIMP)
.
Note that both of these functions are only possible for operations that are neither partially nor completely confirmed.
Features
You make mass changes to or convert executing work centers when processing a maintenance order (transaction code IW32) on the
Operations
tab page.
Mass Change to Executing Work Centers in Maintenance Orders
You use the
Mass Change of Performing Work Centers
pushbutton to call the
Mass Change to Operation Work Centers
dialog box. Enter the work center that is to be reassigned and the related plant. Select the required or all operations and choose
Continue
. The system changes the executing work center for the selected operations and then reports the number of changed work centers.
Conversion of Executing Work Centers in Maintenance Orders According to MEBOR
You can use the
Convert Work Centers Based on MEBOR
pushbutton to directly replace the executing work centers according to the conversion rules of the
Work Center Conversion
(MEBOR) transaction for all of the order’s operations. The system reports the number of replaced work centers after executing the function.

Work Center Conversion
transaction, see SAP Library and the documentation on maintenance, by choosing
