Transfer to Plant Maintenance/Customer Service
Use
You can use report RCATSTPM (Time Sheet: Transfer to Plant Maintenance/Customer Service) to transfer time sheet data to Plant Maintenance or Customer Service (PM/CS). The report generates confirmation documents for maintenance or service orders and, if necessary, goods movements for backflushes.
You can transfer time sheet data that is assigned the
processing status 30 (Approved) or 60 (Canceled). The report transfers the data from the interface table CATSPM to PM/CS.To call the report, choose Time sheet ® Transfer ® Plant maintenance/Customer service ® Transfer.
Integration
When the system generates confirmations for maintenance or service orders, it triggers activity allocation in Controlling at the same time.
Recommendation
Transferring canceled data to PM/CS can adversely affect system performance. When the report transfers canceled records, it reads all the confirmations for the relevant operation for each cell that has been changed in the time sheet. The burden on the system increases accordingly.
We recommend therefore that you
The more confirmations generated for an order, the poorer the report's performance when canceling confirmations.
