Maintenance and Service Planning (new)

Use

As of SAP APO 4.0, the Maintenance and Service Planning (MSP) component can support your maintenance organization in the following two planning processes:

  1. Strategic planning over a long-term horizon (for example 5-10 years). By forecasting the maintenance demands of all maintenance objects, you can determine the resources ( service areas, mechanics, tools, and so on) that are necessary to meet future maintenance demands. Simulating different what-if scenarios allows you to evaluate different planning situations in order to make business decisions.
  2. Tactical planning over a mid-term horizon (such as 1-18 months). The main aim of tactical planning is to ensure your maintenance objects remain serviceable, optimize the utilization of each maintenance object, and balance the resource load within your service areas.

The MSP component offers planners the following:

Maintenance and Service Planning Board

  • Planning Functions
  • In the automated planning run, the system executes the planning run. You can choose between a new plan, which deletes any existing plan and creates a new one, or a net change plan, which plans demands that have not been planned within their tolerance window.

  • In interactive planning, the planner executes the planning run. The planner can plan, reschedule, or deallocate work packages, merge/split work packages, create/reschedule/delete free slots, assign/deallocate work packages to/from slots, and fix/unfix work packages.

  • Object Functions
Various functions (such as Display, and so on) are available in a context menu for work packages, slots, maintenance orders, maintenance objects, and service areas.
  • Chart Functions
  • Planners can personalize the settings for the Maintenance and Service Planning Board to best fit their needs. Once saved, the personalized settings are effective every time the user starts the Maintenance and Service Planning Board.

  • Various other functions are also available to aid the planner in using the Maintenance and Service Planning Board, such as show/hide chart, print all parts or individual charts, zoom in/out, edit time and view scales, show/hide alerts, and display the due date for work packages.

Planning Simulations

Planning simulations enable planners to examine all aspects and options of a given situation and stimulate the effect of various parameters.

Transfer of Master Data from the Discrete Industries R/3 System (from SAP DIMP 4.71)

MSP requires locations and resources. This master data is transferred from the SAP R/3 System (work centers and the plants to which they belong) using the standard Integration Model in the SAP R/3 System.

Transfer of Planning Data to the DI R/3 System (from SAP DIMP 4.71)

The standard SAP APO function Process Change Pointer is used to transfer the planning data to the SAP R/3 System. Publishing type 033 Work Package Maintenance has been added to the APO Order Typefield. The data is transferred to the Maintenance Event Builder (MEB) component in the Discrete Industries system. The SAP R/3 revision number and the APO slot number are identical.

Miscellaneous

A new type of maintenance iPPE has been developed enabling you to describe the maintenance work to be performed in the form of a list of activities. The activities have capacity requirements of resources and activity relationships.
  • Maintenance Profiles
These contain SAP APO-specific planning data for an SAP R/3 maintenance plan. These profiles contain header and item data. You assign a maintenance profile when you assign a maintenance plan to a maintenance object. Maintenance profiles are used for specific planning versions.
  • Alert Monitor
In MSP, you can view alert situations for the maintenance object and service areas in the standalone Alert Monitor, the Alert Monitor in the Maintenance and Service Planning Board, or in the Supply Chain Cockpit (SCC).
New alert profiles have been added for the MSP alerts. For more information, see Changes and New Functions in the Alert Monitor (Enhanced).
  • SCC functions
  • You can launch queries on the maintenance object, maintenance task list, Maintenance and Service Planning Board, and the Alert Monitor in the APO planning application SCC/ SCE.

  • You can perform model consistency checks on the master data assigned to a model or work area. The system checks the maintenance task list belonging to a maintenance object for inconsistencies.

  • Consistency Check for Missing Orders in liveCache
A new object type Maintenance Orders has been added to the Consistency Check liveCache - APO DB function. This provides a list of inconsistencies where check and/or slot orders exist in liveCache but not in the SAP APO database and vice versa.
  • CIF Compare/Reconcile function
    This existing function has been enhanced with a checkbox for Maintenance and Service Planning enabling an inconsistency check between the SAP R/3 System and the SAP APO System after transfer over the APO Core Interface (APO CIF).

Effects on Data Transfer

Effects on System Administration

The APO CIF can run as a background job.

Authorization C_APO_MSPC controls activities that can be performed on maintenance profiles.

Authorization C_APO_MSPO controls activities that can be performed on maintenance objects.

Authorization C_APO_MSPP controls activities that can be performed on maintenance plans.

You maintain authorizations in user maintenance. From the SAP Easy Access menu choose Tools-> Administration-> User Maintenance.

Effects on Customizing

You have to define the following Customizing settings in the mySAP SCM Implementation Guide (IMG) under Advanced Planning and Optimization -> Maintenance and Service Planning:

  • Number Ranges:

Note that you do nothave to execute Customizing activity Define Number Range for Maintenance Items.
As of SAP DIMP 4.71, in SAP R/3 you also have to define the Customizing setting Maintain Revision Type and Number Range for Inbound Data Transfer in the SAP R/3 Implementation Guide (IMG) under Plant Maintenance and Service Processing -> Maintenance and Service Processing -> Maintenance and Service Planning (MSP).
  • Business Add-Ins (Add-Ins)
The following Add-Ins are also available in the mySAP SCM Implementation Guide (IMG):

  • As of SAP DIMP 4.71, the following Add-Ins are available in that SAP R/3 System for use with the MSP component:
  • DI MSP CIF Inbound

This Add-In enables you to include data in the transaction that the standard SAP APO System would normally not transmit to the SAP R/3 System. This data can, for example, be customer-specific fields that do not exist in a standard SAP APO System.
  • Maintenance Plan Details

This Add-In enables you to manipulate the maintenance plan details that are sent to the SAP APO System for MSP.
  • Maintenance Objects and Plans for MSP

This Add-In enables you to select the maintenance plans that are offered for planning in the SAP APO System for MSP.
For more information on these Add-Ins, see the activity documentation in the Discrete Industries system in the IMG under Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -> System Enhancements and Data Transfer -> Business Add-Ins -> Maintenance and Service Planning (MSP).
