Hi Experts,
Please let me now how can i integrate PS and PM module for shutdown management. My requirement is to create a shut down project and assign resources and material .Then want to create a Work order for same project automatically after creation of project so that i can keep track of work (time),resource and material consumption.
Shut down go in parallel on various equipment(eg- heater,cooling fan etc) of plant.Our requirement is to make planning of shutdown smooth and resource effective.
Please suggest the right process to achieve this .
Thanks

Hi Suraj,
In std. SAP you can't create Maintenance order automatically from project. You have to go with development (that too it would can be a cumbersome method to call transaction for MO creation upon project save)
I would recommend you to use std. exits on project save to send notification to maintenance users about project creation and subsequently they will create order accordingly. Then they need to assign this order to a WBS/Network in order's master data (additional data tab).
For every subsequent change in project schedule it will be updated in MO.Later you settle maintenance cost to WBS using a specified settlement profile for your orders.
At last it is your call to choose any option you seem fit your your purpose.

Hi Suraj,
You may follow below mentioned steps:
(1) Create a Project and implement BAdI "PROJECTDEF_UPDATE -> On Save" method to trigger notification alert to concerned person. This person can be Person Responsible or Applicant defined in PS Project.
(2) Create a maintenance order and account assign different WBS elements of PS Project (as per the business requirement and structure defined after discussions).
(3) Maintenance order costs can be planned in Project activities and similarly budget can be allocated.
(4) Once actuals are booked on MO, settle the actuals to WBS element via Settlement strategy maintained. Then, as a Period end closing event, settle those WBSE actuals to CC or PSG based on Settlement rules created and according to the business model of client.
Hope this helps.
Hi,
You can relate the Project / WBS element in the additional tab of the work order.
Also use the same in the settlement rule to settle the work order cost to WBS element.
Mainly you need to configure a different order type and settlement profile to be set for WBS Element / Project / Network.

HI Suraj,
I dont understand the purpose of Shutdown Maintenance process, in case if the cost is not settled in the project. This can be a normal maintenance order. Not sure about the real client requirement you have.
Basically, if you want to automate things, you need to create custom transaction to copy the details from WBS element into Work Order. I dont think standard SAP does it.
