restarting maintenance plan after closing notification

[Former Member]

Hello all,

We want to implement scheduled maintenance plans based on time criteria. That is, for example, that every 2 months an equipment should be revised by a technician.

But sometimes this equipment is visited by a technician, out of the scheduled date, creating a notification and closing it, in that case the maintenance plan shoud be restarted after closing notification of that equipment,

I guess we could achive it using some notification EXIT , for example EXIT_SAPMIWO0_020, but we do not know if there is a function module or anything to restart the plan,

any help would be really apreciated,

Thank you,

Xavi

Hello all,

thank you very much by your answers,

The problem is that we need in some cases to restart the cycle of the maintenance plan.

Let's say we have scheduled notifications every 3 months in an equipment located 40 Km from the factory, for example a fridger. The BackOffice receives an alarm telling that the equipment does not work at all, and a technician goes there in order to solve the problem.

The tech solves the issue, and he decides to make a sanitization of the equipment, which is out of the scheduled plan (for example it was supposed to be done in 20 days, but the technician decides to do it now, in order to spare the Km)

The decision is right, but the plan says that in 20 days the tech should go again to the equipment, which is false, he should be there in 3 months, that is, restart the cycle.

Anyone knows a function module the restart the cycle, used from an Exit of notifications (when closing the sanitizacion done by the tech?)

thank you,

Hi,

As said you can use the option of Manual Call where system will generate the Maintenance Notification following with Order .., I beleive there is no need to restart the plan and change the plan date accordingly...

In the Maintenance Order generated via Manual call - u can try to add any additional operations if you want ..

In your case - if ur equipment breakdown is on a particular day and if this is near to your MP -due date then better generate a manual call .. and any additional activities u can add in MO ..

Hi,

You can also use the option of Manual call - whenever your technician visits the eqpt out of scheduled date ..on using Manual Call - Th Maintenance Order will get generated on that day ..,Check in IP10

You need not restart the plan everytime , I believe you r also using Scheduling Period option in your Maintenance Plan ..IP02

It's not clear why you would want to restart the maintenance plan rather than skipping a call or using the fix call functionality. Transaction IP10 PM Scheduling has functionality to"Skip, "Restart", or to "Fix Call" which is used to changed/adjust the normal scheduled PM date.
