Hi, I am a FI-CO consultant and I have been asked to assist in addressing a client requirement in Plant Maintenance - Preventive Maintenance.
The client uses a small number of vendors to perform all their maintenance work, so there will often be several items of equipment to be maintained by the same vendor at the same time. The client would like to be able to create just one Work Order in this case, but then distribute the costs down to the equipment level (for example, have a single Work Order to "maintain three air conditioning units", but ultimately have the total cost of that order apportioned over the three equipments).
I suggested we try using a single PM order (created for a dummy equipment), which then settles to three other PM orders (one for each equipment). These three orders would then settle to the applicable Cost Centres. This worked OK in respect of PM Order reporting - the main order shows the outwards settlement and the three other orders show the inwards settlements, but reporting at the Equipment level does not show the settled costs.
Is there some setting that can be changed so that Equipment costs will include settled amount received? Alternatively, can anyone suggest a different way of achieving the client requirement?
Thanks & Regards,
Marc
