Consumption-Relevant Counter-Reading Recording
Use
You can use the consumption-relevant counter-reading recording for vehicles to:
Enter the counter readings (such as number of kilometers traveled or operating hours) for vehicles
Enter the consumed operating supplies (such as fuel or oil)
If necessary update material documents for vehicle consumption
If necessary determine rules for the average consumption and therefore control the entered consumption
Using the entered data the system calculates the consumption values of you vehicle.
Integration
The consumption-relevant counter-reading recording is part of the Fleet Management of
Plant Maintenance (PM)
and of
Customer Service (CS).
Prerequisites
General Prerequisites
For information on the prerequisites for recording the consumption and the counter readings for vehicles in the system, see Fleet Management .
Prerequisites for the consumption control
You have created at least one fuel counter as well as a ‘primary counter’ that measures the distance traveled or the operating time.
In Customizing for
Plant Maintenance and Customer Service
you have defined the rules for the consumption control underDefine Tolerance Check for the Consumption Control.
Enter the key for the tolerance created here in the piece of equipment on the tab page
Vehicle – Technology
underConsumption Check.
Prerequisites for the updating of material documents
In Customizing for
Plant Maintenance and Customer Service
you have defined the settings for updating the material documents underConsumption-Relevant Counter-Reading Updates.
You have defined the following:Auxiliary- and expendable material types for vehicles
Gas Station
Cost objects for the material posting
Enter the key for the goods movement created here in the piece of equipment on the tab page
Vehicle – Technology
underMaterial Consumption.
Prerequisite for Updating the Data in the PMIS
The vehicle consumption data is updated to a corresponding measurement document in the Plant Maintenance Information System (PMIS) when you save, as long as you have made the necessary settings in Customizing for
Plant Maintenance and Customer Service
under
Configure Measurement Document Update.
You can use the vehicle consumption analysis to evaluate the corresponding standard information structure (S114).
For further information on updating, see Plant Maintenance Information System and Key Figures for Vehicle Consumption Analysis .
Features
You can call up the consumption transaction of a vehicle and enter a gas station. Depending on the way you enter, various functions are available.
Entry without gas station
You can see all consumption-relevant counters for the given vehicle, these are separated according to consumption and activity counters. Using indictors it is clear which functions have a counter (such as consumption-relevant counter, primary fuel or distance counter).
For these counters you can update the counter reading and, for example, enter the fuel consumption quantity or the distance traveled or the operating time. For the activity counter the last current counter reading is provided for information.
For the creation of counter readings you can activate consumption control this means the system checks the entered consumption data to see that the entries are within the permitted value ranges. The allowed range is determined from the previously entered values with the help of the average consumption.
The consumption control only checks the counter reading of the counters that are defined in Customizing of
Plant Maintenance and Customer Service
under
Calculation Methods for Consumption Values
for this vehicle. In most cases fuel and mileage are controlled. All other entries are accepted without checks.
Note
Note that, for the consumption recording, delta values are recorded (for example, 50 I, 55 I, 52 I), for which counter readings become absolute values , that is, total counter readings are recorded (for example, 50 I, 105 I, 157 I).
Entry with gas station
In addition to the functions available to you when entering without tables you can update material documents when you enter with gas station.
If you enter the consumption for a vehicle using the counter reading recording (measurement reading entry) then this refers to a material withdrawal from the location ‘gas station’ for the relevant operating supply. For each consumption counter you can select additional operating supplies for which material documents are automatically generated when saving. You determine the material that the system should update, in Customizing (see prerequisites).
Reverse Measurement Documents and Material Documents
You can reverse all of the measurement and material documents that were created at one point in time.
