Cut Over Activities - Plant Maintenance - SAP Easy Access

Objective:This document can guide the consultants as check list during the Cut Over Activities of
SAP Plant Maintenance Implementation. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Characteristics to be used in Measuring Points & Technical Objects Classes to be used in Technical Objects Cost Element Groups maintained in PM Costing Variants / Settlement Profile / Allocation Structures Permits Strategies for Maintenance Plans ABAP Query Reports Preparation of Template & Execution of Strategy based / Multi Counter Plan scheduling

8. Maintenance Notification / Order uploading template Characteristics:

All the characteristics should have been created as per the usage in

Measuring Points & Technical Objects. This will avoid the duplication of master creation, errors, etc., Characteristics which will be used in Permits also should be created accordingly.

Classes:

classes should be created based on the usage either in Equipment / Functional

Location / Permits (Licenses) category.

Cost Element Groups:

Cost Element groups should be created as per the assignment of

those groups in the configuration front. Generally, cost elements will not / should not be assigned in the configuration directly as it tends to change according to client (DEV / QAS / PRD). So, its advisable to create cost element groups & assign them in the configuration. Those cost element groups should be defined as Master data before uploading Maintenance orders / scheduling Maintenance plans.

Permits:

During Cut Over activities / Back logs, Permit functionality may not be required as the

orders are in past & they might have got approval in legacy system already. Once all the Back logs are uploaded, these Permit system should be activated.

Maintenance Strategies:

As per the business requirement, Maintenance Strategies

should have been defined before uploading Task List & Maintenance Plans. Maintenance Strategy should be defined as per Scheduling Indicator. Each scheduling indicator should be restricted with one or 2 (max) maintenance strategies.

ABAP Query Reports:

Client as per the requirement.

ABAP query reports should be created in the Live Production

Template for Maintenance Plan Scheduling:

This template should have

been shared with Power Users & the same should have been prepared as per the Technical Object. This template is required for strategy & multi counter plan. For single cycle plan, start date can be arrived easily, so this template will not be required. This template should contain details like Technical Object, Operations on that, Last date / reading happened on operation wise, next date / reading on which that operation should fall on due, current counter reading for performance based cycle.

Template for Notifications / Orders:

This Template should have been shared

with the Power users & these details should be captured from cut off date. This details contain Open orders, In Process Orders with Partial Confirmation / Partial GI, etc., Completed Orders without Settlement, etc., Historical Orders can be captured separately using IW61.

Conclusion:
This document can guide you in the critical phase of Implementation Project as check list. This list may not have 100 % data, but it will give some overall idea on the Cut Over details.
