Process documentation Maintenance Cost Budgeting Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Purpose

You can use this business process to create a budget for maintenance activities related to technical assets, that is, functional locations and/or equipment. The budget can be either zero-based or history-based.

·        A zero-based budget is created from simulated costing data residing in the underlying SAP ECC system and typically includes maintenance plans and task lists.

·        A history-based budget is created on the basis of actual costing data from maintenance orders from previous years.

Maintenance cost budgeting is a tool that helps reduce the workload typically involved in the budgeting process and allows for a standardized company-wide budgeting method.
