Equipment Downtime

[Former Member]

hi,

We are implementing SAP PM in a pharma company , here the equipment are used for production during the day time only let say from 8:30 am to 17:30 pm.

If the euipment has breakdown let say at 16:00 PM and then it again starts after repair next day at 10:00 am as per the client , equipment breakdown is 3 hr but on putting the malfunction starts and malfunction end time system will calculate the downtime as the difference between the malfunction strat and malfunction end.

so how the client requirement can be mapped.

thanks

Hai dude

Its Gap in SAP. Basically SAP doesnt know your equipment running hours we have to generate some Developement custom codes

Like breakdowns in single day is not calculating by the system in accurately ( if exceeds the 1+ days).

There is no option for capturing planned production delays ( breakdown tick mark effects the MTBF unnecessarily eventhough its planned and stopped by operation dept)

Shift wise option for capturing the breakdown in business somewhat tough transactions

Daily Log maintenance notification is also not well designed by SAP.

Better is work with ABAP as per your own requirement

You can maintain the breakdown hours as you need at breakdown field at notification..It means malfunction start 11.00 am and end 3.00 pm , so actual breakdown hours system will calculate 4.00 hrs.

But you forcibly maintain as 2 hrs (what we need) at breakdown field, only you will get the warning message..just need to ignore the same.

Hi Naveen,

The breakdown time is captured in notification iw21or IW22 raised aginst that eqpt .. and u can view the same in reports like MC17,MCJC,MCJB .

Hi Pushpa,

System will give the complete downtime i.e. from 4:30 PM to 10:00 AM next day but the actual downtime is 3 hr as the equipment used to ran from 8:30 am to 17:30 PM.

Do we configure the running hour of equipment in SAP so that it can pick the downtime from there.

Thanks

Hi,

The issue raised by u is standard and breakdown hrs takes system time in calculation of breakdown hrs .. you may need to look at some function module to recalculate the breakdown hrs .Search this forum as this issue was discussed in the past ..

Hi,

Check for the function module to manupulate the downtime of machine but not succesful.
