Archiving Maintenance and Service Orders (PM-SMA-SC/PM-WOC-MO)

Definition

Archiving object PM_ORDER, which you can use to archive maintenance orders and service orders in the Plant Maintenance application component.

Note Note

You can use this archiving object in Information Lifecycle Management . You must have activated the corresponding business functions to do this. The system then shows the ILM Actions group box. You can use these actions, for example, to evaluate the retention periods stored in the Information Retention Manager during archiving. Additionally, you can create snapshots (copies) of data or destroy data if it matches the requirements. For more information, see Activating SAP NetWeaver ILM .

Note Note

The archiving process for archiving object PM_ORDER operates independently of whether an account assignment was made for the order at the order header level or the order item level.

End of the note.

Note Note

If the order in question is a refurbishment order , the system archives the tables SER00, SER05, and OBJK. However, these tables are not deleted. You can archive these tables together with the serial number history ( Archiving Object PM_OBJLIST ).

Table AFPO is only available for refurbishment orders and is therefore only archived for these orders.

End of the note.

Note Note

The entries in table DRAD are archived by the write program and deleted by the deletion program.

If you want to assign documents to the maintenance order at header level and archive the document assignments, activate the business function Simplified Management of EAM Functions 2 (LOG_EAM_SIMPLICITY_2).

If you want to assign documents to the maintenance order at header and operation level in SAP GUI and archive the document assignments, activate the business function Enterprise Asset Management Part 6 (LOG_EAM_CI_6).

Alternatively, you can activate the business function EAM, Integration with SAP 3D Visual Enterprise (LOG_EAM_VE_INT). By activating this business function, you activate the function Assignment of Documents to Maintenance Orders at header and operation level in SAP GUI and in SAP Web UI.

Implement SAP Note 1771336 as well.

End of the note.

By including the archiving classes ( P_ORDER and TEXT ), the following data is also archived:

  • Order header overall (table AUFK, AFKO)

  • Cost report

  • Settlement rule

  • Operations

  • Material components

  • Production resources/tools

  • Completion confirmations

  • Status of order header and operation

  • Long text for order header and operation

  • Purchase requisition for operation and components

  • Completion confirmation for operation and components

  • Goods movement

    Note Note

    It is possible for you to create a historical order parallel to your archiving session.

    If you set the Historical Orders indicator on the initial screen for the archiving run, the deletion program deletes the order from the database of the ERP system and simultaneously creates a historical order in aggregated form on the database. The order number remains the same.

    End of the note.

The following programs are delivered for the PM_ORDER:

The write program supports the ADK interruption concept, enabling you to interrupt the write phase and continue it at a later point in time. For more information, see Interrupting and Continuing Archiving Sessions .

An update message is regularly output in the job log and in the dialog (status bar) both in the write run and in the deletion run.
