Data Transfer to Plant Maintenance/Customer Service (PM/CS) 

Purpose

Time sheet data can be transferred to Plant Maintenance and Customer Service for confirmations. You transfer the data using a data transfer report, which generates confirmation documents in the target components.

Prerequisites

You must have made the required settings for confirmations in Customizing for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service.

Process flow

  1. You must release or, if you integrate the approval procedure, approve the data.
  2. The system writes the data to the CATSPM interface table. You must have made an entry in the following fields:
    3.

    Field Name

    Data Element

    Short Description

    		  

    RAUFNR

    EAUFNR

    Receiver order

    and

    VORNR

    VORNR

    Operation number

    or

    UVORN

    UVORN

    Suboperation

    		  

  3. The data transfer report Time Sheet: Transfer to PM / CS (RCATSTPM) transfers the data with the above account assignment from the interface table to Plant Maintenance or Customer Service.
  4. The report generates confirmations for a maintenance or service order

    5. If service entry has also been performed for a record, the data is transferred to PM/CS without the relevant costs being determined. For more information, see: Service Entry with Reference to an Operation

    If data is entered together with information on a confirmable order and with a bonus wage type, the record is transferred to Controlling (CO) and Human Resources (HR), but not to PM/CS. The system posts the confirmation information as an internal activity allocation in CO and the bonus wage type is processed further in HR. The reason for this is that a record with a bonus wage type only contains additional information that is relevant for time data (for example, Sunday bonus, dirty-work bonus) and does not contain information on hours that is relevant for a confirmation.

  5. The report generates a log showing whether all records were posted.
  6. If there are records with errors, an error pool is generated. You must process the error pool, which is displayed in the log, as even records containing errors are marked as "transferred".
  7. You must correct records that could not be posted, either in the Time Sheet by choosing Transfer -> Plant maintenance/Customer service -> Postprocessing, or directly in the Plant Maintenance or Customer Service components.

For postprocessing, you must have authorization for the transaction PM Order Confirmation: Collective Confirmation (IW44).
