Process

Equipment Unscheduled Downtime

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

  1. SAP ME receives an alert when a tool or resource on the shop floor experiences unscheduled downtime.

  2. SAP ME changes the status of the resource or tool number to Unscheduled Down.

  3. SAPMEINT sends the data to SAP ERP to create a Plant Maintenance (PM) notification.

  4. A PM worker reviews the notification and manually creates a PM order with reference to the notification, the planning indicator Immediate order or Unplanned order, and the system indicator Machine not in operation (SYSCON=0) which reduces the capacity of the machine in SAP ERP.

  5. The PM order is sent to SAP ME using the transaction IORD.

  6. SAPMEINT associates the PM order number with the resource or tool number.

  7. A maintenance technician repairs and restarts the machine.

  8. SAP ME operator changes the status of the resource or tool number to Productive using Change Equipment Status.

  9. SAPMEINT sends the following updates to the PM order in SAP ERP:

    • Changes user status to PROD

    • Changes the system condition to In Operation (SYSCON=1), which increases the capacity of the machine in SAP ERP

Equipment Scheduled Downtime

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

  1. SAP ERP creates a scheduled maintenance order based on maintenance plan with the planning indicator Planned order and the system indicator Machine not in operation (SYSCON=0) which reduces the capacity of the machine in SAP ERP.

  2. The PM order is sent to SAP ME using the transaction IORD.

  3. SAPMEINT associates the PM order number with the resource or tool number.

  4. SAP ME changes the status of the resource or tool number to Scheduled Down.

    If the resource or tool is in use, the status first changes to Pending, then to Scheduled Down, when it becomes idle.

  5. A maintenance technician maintains and restarts the machine.

  6. SAP ME operator changes the status of the resource or tool number to Productive using Change Equipment Status.

  7. SAPMEINT sends the following updates to the PM order in SAP ERP:
