ETM - Equipment and Tools Management

Purpose Equipment and Tools Management (ETM) deals with issues that secure an optimal process flow in enterprise areas of (construction) companies or equipment rental companies, and so on, in as pects such as p lanning, processing, settlement and evaluation of resources (materials and equipment).

Integration If you want to use ETM, you must have the application components Sales and Distribution (SD), Plant Maintenance (PM), Financial Accounting (FI) and Controlling (CO). To make full use of the integrative nature of the SAP R/3 System, it is also advisable to use the application components Asset Accounting (AA) and Project System (PS).

Features · Repres entation of various catalogs containing equipment, machi nery, tools, ac ces sories and attachments and so on · Catalog BOM s (bills of material) · Shipp ing and settlement packages · Relationships b etween owners and administrators of equipment · Ship ping and performance-b ased equipment (PBE) documents · S ettlement calendar · Filler calendar for PBE · Time-bas ed or performance-b ased settlement · Inventory management · Equipm ent planni ng · Evaluations and reporting functions (settlement lists, s tatements of usage, stock li sts for construction sites and so on)

The following documentation uses almost always the term “Equipment and Tools Management” or the abbreviation “ETM”. However, note that the previous term “Construction Equipment Management” (CEM), which was valid to Release 4.6C2, may still appear in this documentation. Futhermore, as of SAP ECC DIMP 5.0, the character J, which was previously used in ETM tables and programs, has b een replaced b y the character 4. For more information, see SAP Note 731876. !--a11y-->

1.1.1 ETM Catalog Definition An ETM catalog is a structured, hierarchical list of different types of machinery (for example, equipment, machines and vehicles) and is based on the SAP standard Classification System. Every ETM catalog is assigned to a

Class within a

Class Type. This means that all the numbers in the catalog are also

assigned to this cl ass or class type. The characteristics used in characteristic value assignment are assigned to the class .


Page 5 of 84

Use Before you can reference to an ETM catalog, it must have been defined in Customizing for ETM. ETM catalogs can be specific to a company, region or country and form the basis for pricing in settlement accounting. By assigning bills of material (BOMs) to equipment, you can link to the ETM catalog, and therefore also to catalog valuation.

There are the following hierarchy levels in the “Baugeräteliste 1991” or “BGL 91” (German equipment rental compilation or construction equipment specifications list): Structure 2

Main equipment group

Lifting appliances and transportation equipment

21

Equipment sub-group

Cranes and attachments

2176

Equipment category

Diesel-hydraulic driven two-engine rubber-mounted cranes with steel-latticed boom

2176-0165

Equipment type

Diesel-hydraulic driven two-engine rubber-mounted cranes with steel-latticed boom, maximum load moment 165tm

2176-0154-01

Attachments

2176-0154-C1

Booms for cranes etc.

Extras

Non-interchangeable equipment items such as diesel or gasoline engines

Data Transfer Every catalog has to be purchased from the app ropriate publis her as a compact disc (CD) or as discs. ETM has a batch-input sess ion.

We recommend that equipment be entered in separate lots according to main group. In this way, you can check and control the data transfer more easily. You can use the Procedure for the Construction Equipment Catalog when you import data from the list of construction accessories, material and tools (for example, the construction equipment list or “Bauaustattungsliste (BAL)” in Germany).

ETM catalogs are client-dependent. This means that you can import a different catalog into each different client in the same system. If you want to use the same catalog in more than one client, you have to define in which logical system the original catalog is stored. You can do this under Creating a Catalog.

Integration Catalog entries can be entered in ETM BO Ms. They then form the valuation basis for settlement accounting. New catalog entries can also be interpolated directly in the catalog.

!--a11y-->

1.1.1.1 Creating a Catalog Prerequisites If the catalog records are valuated or should have values and you want to use dependencies and interpolate, the class es, c lass types, characteristics, and dependencies to be used must be created in Customizing or in the App lication Menu under Logistics

® Central Functions

® Classification System . For

more information, see the Implementation Guide for ETM under Logistics - General ® Equipment and Tools Management (ETM) ® Master Data ® Catalogs ® Prerequisites for Catalogs . You must have a comprehensive knowledge of the classification system if you want to create catalogs that do not reference to existing classes and class types.

Procedure Create the catalogs in Customizing for ETM . 1. Choose Equip ment and Tools Management (ETM)

Importing the Construction Equipment Catalog (to 4.6C1 Inclusive) Prerequisites For each main equipment group, a standard text processing program should provide a text file with catalog texts and a text file with catalog values, for example, KAT1.TXT - KAT9.TXT.

Procedure Choose Tools ® ABAP Workbench ® Development ® ABAP Editor from the R/3 initial screen. The ABAP Editor: Initial Screen appears. Enter program /SAPCEM/B I (equipment values) in the Program field. Execute this program. Enter the catalog and the file path where the data to be imported can be found, for example, c:\BGL\ on the Batch Input for Catalogs sc reen. You can also enter a file type.

If you want to update the descri ptions that are already in the sys tem or imp ort texts in a further language, set the Only read texts indicator. The catalog values remain unchanged when this indicator is set. Choose Execute. Repeat this procedure for program /SAPCEM/TEXT (equipment texts).

Result After these programs have been imported, the Catalog Structure is available with all its values and texts.

1.1.2 ETM Bill of Material (BOM) Definition An ETM bill of material (BOM) is a lis t of parts (for example, machines, equipment, interchangeable items and attachments) that, together with a descrip tion and quantity, forms the ETM Equipment. The parts are referred to as items. Each item has a value. The cumulated values of the items form the equipment valuation (value assignment for the equipment).

Use Any amount of ETM BOMs can be ass igned to a piece of ETM equipment. However, there can only ever be one active ETM BOM per ETM Catalog. The value assignment for the active BOM is the total of all the individual BOM items and forms the basis for ETM Settlement. ETM BOMs are time-dependent. In other words, you can trace which BOM was active with which value when the settlement run took place.

1.1.2.4 Interpolation Use Interpolation offers you the possibility of referencing to an equipment number in an ETM BOM or in an ETM Catalog when this number does not actually exist, as such, in the ETM catalog. The interpolated catalog values are derived from the catalog items situated above and below the equipment number you wish to


Page 13 of 84

interpolate and are used to calculate values for the new items. You have two options as far as interpolation is concerned. One the one hand, you can interpolate when you enter the ETM BOM. This interpolation is then only valid for this one BOM. On the other hand, you can interpolate an entry directly in the ETM catalog. This makes a permanent change to the ETM catalog. You can also use interpolation to change existing catalog values. You can only interpolate if the ETM catalog item that is to be interpolated lies between two existing adjacent equipment sizes (technical statistics). The average value when new, monthly repair costs and monthly depreciation and interest rate can then be determined with sufficient exactness.

Prerequisites The number logic for the numbers in the catalog has to be subject to encoding.

Example of Interpolation Existing catalog number A.1.02.0760 Catalog number A.1.02.0760

Characteristic Average value when new € 108.500,00 Monthly depreciation and interest, lower value € 2,170.00 Monthly repair costs € 1,410.00

Interpolated catalog number A.1.02.080 0 Catalog number A.1.02.0800

1.1.3 ETM Equipment Definition ETM equipment encompasses objects such as vehicles, equipment, machinery, scaffolding, shuttering and tools that have to be sent and managed. These objects can belong to all branches of industry.

Engineering, construction, aircraft and road traffic objects and so on.

Use Equipment can be classified as Performance-Based Equipment or Time-Based Equipment.

Generally s peaking, p ieces of equipment that are expensiv e and managed in asset ac counting are defined and managed as equipment items. Bulk products and less expensive equipment are defined and managed as multipart equipment. Once defined, you should not try to alter the above-mentioned definitions for equipment since any changes that you make may have a negative effect on ETM Settlement (multipart equipment à equipment item). Create an equipment master record if: · you want to add equipm ent to stock for the first time. · you want to manage ETM-spec ific data for the equipment. You can perform the following activities for equipment: · send it direc tly from a warehouse/s torage location to a usage s ite (construction site). This is referred to as an acquis ition. · send it from usage site to usage si te. · change the activity typ e of the equipm ent (equipment remains on the same usage si te). · withdraw the equipment from usage (retirement). You may want to do this, for example, if the equipment is sold, if the rental agreement has ex pired or if the equipment is scrapped. The commissioning time of equipment at one usage site is documented using Shipping and Performance-Based Equipment Documents.

Structure The equipment master record contains several types of data: · G eneral data Fixed, time-independent data that tends not to change with time, for example, equipment category or equipment type. · ETM-Specific Data Time-dependent data that can change throughout the period of time that the equipment is in use, for example, owner or administrator, the PM order (that acts as cost collector or account assignment object for the equipment). If you want the historical data to be up dated, you have to make the app ropriate Customizing settings in the SAP Implem entation Guide under Plant Maintenance and Customer Service ® Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service ® Technical Obj ects ® Equipment ® Equipment Usage Period ® Usage History Update and Define History-Related Fields or under Plant Maintenance ® Equipment and Technical Obj ects ® Technical Ob jects ® Equipment ® Equipment Usage Period ® Usage history update and Define history-relevant fields . · Ass ignment of ETM BOM s . · A ss ignment of Insurance Data. · A ss ignment of Packages. · A ss ignment to Planning using c lassification. · Storage of master operators (partner roles).

Integration If you want to be able to create equipment, the Owner/Administrator and the Owner/Administrator Relationship must have been defined in Customizing. If the owner and the administrator are the same, you do not need to define a relationship. You can use workflows to minimize the amount of time and effort you have to spend on maintaining equipment master data. For more information, see the documentation in Customizing for ETM under Master Data ® Workflow Integration FI-AA ETM . For further information on equipment in the standard R/3 System, see

1.1.3.7 Package


Page 19 of 84

Definition A Shipping Package is a list of Equipment and/or materials. A Settlement Package is a list of equipment that is always sent and settled in its entirety. Amongst other things, it serves to allocate costs to different equipment (objects).

Structure

Structure of a Shipping Package Equipment = shipping package (header can b e either “physical”/”real” equipment or “fictitious” equipment). Shipping p ackage items can only b e phys ical equipment and materials.

Structure of a Settlement Package Equipment = settlement package (header can only be “physi cal”/”real” equipment). Settlement package items can only be physical equipment. They are not relevant in the shipping document. However, they are relevant in ETM Settlement.

A box (equipment number 1000 152) is sent to a usage site with a shipp ing document. The box contains, for example, 10 lengths of cable, 100 screws and so on (a pre-determined number of each object). Inventory management uses the settlement package header (1000152).

Prerequisites · All the equipment and materials that you want to use must have b een created as master records. · You must have set the equipm ent item/multipart equipment indic ator. · A shipp ing package can be a settlement pack age and vice versa. · A shipp ing package item cannot be a settlement pack age. · A settlement package item cannot be a shipping p ackage. · You cannot enter any other shipping p ackage as an item in the shipping pac kage items. · You cannot enter any other settlement pac kage as an item in the settlement pack age items. · Equipment that you want to enter on item level in a shipp ing or settlement pack age must be phy sic al equipm ent.

Integration Packages are assigned to equipment. Equipment can either be in the form of a shipping package or a settlement package. The assignment of the ETM BOM to the appropriate equipment is not affected. In other words, if you want to settle costs using an equipment catalog, a BOM has to have been assigned to each piece of equipment to be included in settlement.

!--a11y-->

1.1.3.7.1 Shipping Package Use A shipp ing pack age is an aid to entering documents (please see: Document Entry).

A minibus is driven to a usage site with a box containing several small equipment items (a shovel, two buckets, five floor cloths etc.). The box


Page 20 of 84

and its contents are entered in the system and sent together as one shipping package.

Integration You can integrate a Settlement Package into a shipping package. However, you cannot integrate a shipping package into another shipping package. Both phys ical equip ment and materials are allowed.

Prerequisites · If you are dealing with materials, the material type mus t have been defined as allowed in Customizing. · Equipment mus t have been defined as allowed for ship ping documents . You make this s etting in the field for allowed document categories in the equipment master record. · The shipping pac kage number can represent physic al equipment or fictitious equipment. · Shipp ing package items can only be physic al equipment. · You cannot enter the ship ping p ack age number (equip ment) itself as an item (in contrast to the settlement pac kage).

If the Copy shipping document indicator is set accordingly, you may be required to choose the equipment to be included in the shipping document from a list when you try to enter equipment in the ship ping document. If you so wish, y ou can also set the Copy shi p. doc. indic ator so that this selection list does not appear.

Features When you enter shipping documents, the shipping p ackage is spli t up into its individual items and the quantity of each item in the shipp ing pack age is multiplied by the number of shipping documents. In this way, inventory management is also performed. If the shipp ing pack age number represents p hysic al/real equipment, the ship ping pac kage number is copied to the shipp ing document. If the shipping p ackage number represents fictitious equipment, the shipp ing pack age number is not copied to the ship ping document.

1.1.4 Owner/Administrator Definition The owner is the owner of an equipment. The owner manages the equipment in plant financial accounting and is responsible for depreciation of the equipment. The administrator manages (for example, rents, repairs and maintains) the equipment on behalf of the owner. In return for being allowed to rent the owner’s equipment and therefore collect and receive revenue form the rental to external third parties, the administrator has to pay the owner a leasing charge. This can be a static/fixed amount or a dynamic amount (for example, a percentage of the revenue from the rental).

Use Depending on the ownership relationship, you have to create an Owner, an Administrator or an Owner/Administrator master record. You then have to assign this master record to the appropriate equipment.

!--a11y-->

1.1.4.1 Owner/Administrator Relationship Definition By an owner/administrator relationship we mean the relationship that the owner of the equipment has to the administrator of this same equipment. The owner can also be the administrator.

Use The owner/administrator relationship determines which leasing type applies to the administrator (for example, whether the administrator has to pay the owner a fixed amount, a percentage of the rental revenue or whether there is no leasing charge at all) and which objects (equipment, machinery) the administrator is allowed to manage for the owner. You can define the owner/administrator relationship in Customizing for ETM. If the owner and administrator are the same, you do not need to establish a relationship. If this is the case, the default entry in the owner/administrator master record is for no leasing.

!--a11y-->

1.1.4.2 Creating an Owner/Administrator Prerequisites You must know the following before you can create an owner, an administrator or an owner/administrator: · whether the owner is als o the adminis trator of the equipment · for which c ompany c ode you want to create the owner and/or adminis trator · whether you want the equipment to be managed centrally or decentrally .

1.1.5 Recipient Definition The recipient is a central control element in ETM. In addition to standard views, there are two ETM views where ETM basic data and ETM settlement data for the recipient can b e stored. The term “recipient” is used as an umbrella term to cover a variety of roles in ETKM. You should not understand this term to mean merely a “recipient” in the conventional sense of the word. The recipient can be the ship-to party, but also the sender of equipment (since to be able to send the equipment, even the sender must have received the equipment, in other words, been the recipient of the equipment at some point in time).

Use Either the sender or the Ship-To Party or the sender and the ship-to party must be entered in the Shipping Document. This, however, depends on whether you are dealing with an acquisition (only the recipient is entered and the sender field remains emp ty), a retirement (only the sender is entered and the recipient field remains empty), a change of activity type (the sender and the recipient are the same) or shipp ing (from one usage site to the next).

If equipment is sent from a warehouse or storage location (usage site) to a construction site (usage site), then the warehouse/storage location is the sender and the usage site is the ship-to party (recipient).


Page 27 of 84

Integration The customer master record has b een enhanced by ETM-specific views. Control parameters suc h as recipient type and reference type define which typ e of recipient (recipient type) y ou are dealing with or which ac count assignment object is used in Settlement and postings to FI/CO (reference type). Which company code a recipient belongs to depends on which company code the appropriate account assignment object (for example, WBS element, project definition, cost center, CO order or PM order) has been created in. For further information, see:

Customer Master Data.

1.1.5.1 Creating a Recipient Prerequisites Before you can create a recipient, you must know the following: for which sales area (sales organization/distribution channel/division) you want to create the recipient. to which account group you want to assign the recipient (necessary for internal/external number assignment). which recipient type you are dealing with (for example, warehouse/storage location, internal usage site or external third party, and so on) whether the account assignment object has already been created as an object. to which grouping (dummy recipient, and so on) you want to assign the recipient.

Procedure On the initial screen choose Logistics ® Equipment and Tools Management ® Master Data

®

Master Data ® Recipient

® Change .

The Create Customer: Initial Screen appears. Enter a sales organization, distribution channel and division. Choose Customer’s sales areas... to find out which sales areas (c ombination of sales organization, distrib ution channel and div ision) the recipient has already been created for. If you want to disp lay all the sales areas for a spec ific clien t, choose All sales areas ... Assign an acc ount group to the recipient. A number range is assigned to the account group in Customizing. This number range can be either internal or external. If external number assignment has been set in Customizing, enter the number here. If internal number assignment has been set in Customizing, a placeholder is displayed instead of the number. An internal number then replaces this placeholder when you save the master record.

ETM provides account group

J3G.

The account group is the same for each recipient. You cannot enter a different account group for each different

sales area (sales organization/distribution channel/division). For further information, see:

Account Group.

If you want to create a recipient without copying from a reference template, go to 8. If you want to create a recipient by copy ing from a reference template, enter the customer number you want to copy from in the Customer field in the Reference area of the screen. If you want to copy a recipient that has been created in a different sales area (sales organization/distribution channel/division), enter the customer with the sales organization/dis tribution channel/di vis ion that you want to copy in the Reference area of the screen. Enter the new sales organization/distrib ution channel/division and recipient in the upper part of the screen and choose Enter . The system copies the account group of the recipient being copied to the new recipient.

You only s ee the sales views that have been entered in Customizing for Financial Accounting under Accounts Receivable and Ac counts Payable ® Customer Accounts ® Master Records ® Preparations for Creating Customer Master Records ® Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Customers) . 7. Enter the different sales data as required. 8. Choose Enter . A screen for entering address details app ears. Make all the necessary entries on this screen and the standard views that follow. Enter the Recipient Type in the ETM - Basic Data view. The Reference Type field contains an entry in accordance with the settings in Customizing. You cannot change the reference type here. If you flag the Blck IndDocEntry field (block i ndicator against document entry), you can prev ent this reci pie nt from being entered in documents. This is recommended if you are dealing with dummy recipients (recipients of reference type Dummy ). If required, change the default dummy or standard recipient.

From an ETM point of view, the Cust.int.set. (cus tomer internal settlement) is the actual sold-to party that appears i n the order header during internal settlement. The customer (internal settlement) is necessary purely from a sales and distribution point of view. It has no relevance in ETM since the providing party and debited object (for example, equipment and WBS element) are relevant to postings in FI/CO during settlement. Enter a planning area. Enter an account assignment object. The account assignment object must have already been created before you can reference to it. Choose Execute. Enter the appropriate Indicators in the ETM - Settlement view. Save the master record. A message confirming that the recipient master record has been created for the sales organization/distribution channel/division appears at the bottom of the screen.

ETM Planning Purpose You can use ETM planning to help you enter requirements (for example, equipment needed by a usage site) that will then be processed by a stock and requirements planning controller. The controller uses the characteristics (

classes) of the equipment that is needed to process the requirements and find the

equipment that most exactly fulfils the requirements and is available for use at the required time.

Process Flow · Requesting party (for example, c onstruction site superv isor) reports a requirement · This requirement is entered in the sys tem in the form of a requisition note with the appropriate characteristics · The stock and requirements plannin g controller uses the requirements overview to process the requirements for the recipients that have been assigned to him (for his planning area). · A ship ping document is used to send the required and confirmed equipment to the appropriate usage si te.

1.2.1.3 Deadline Logic Definition A collection of rules to improve equipment planning. A simp lified deadline logic has b een developed in ETM with the supp ort of the German work cooperative (edition 1995). The process es that are controlled by this are specific to Germany and may not be relevant for other countries. Using deadline logic enables improved equipment planning. “Penalty mechanisms” enable costing and planning of equipment ship ment scheduling.

Use Deadline logic is only active if · it is a time-based equipment · the equipment is sent with a shipping document · the movements are category receipt, i ssue, c hange of activity type, or ship ping The construction industry differentiates between restricted and unrestricted usage. In unrestricted usage as a rule it is not known how long an equipment will remain on a usage site. “Short” unrestricted usage exists where the equipment remains for example up to 30 days on a usage site as does “long” unrestricted usage where equipment may remain for years on a usage site. The minimum usage duration in ETM corresponds to restricted usage. In restricted usage it is assumed that it is known how long an equipment will be used.

Integration The Settlement indicator (either by recip ient, or dummy or standard recipient) and the Deadline logic indicator must be s et in the recipient master.

If settlement recognition is set to Dummy or Standard recipient (dummy) and the settlement recognition and deadline indicator is set in this dummy, the deadline logic is valid for all recipients to which this dummy is assigned.

!--a11y-->

1.2.1.3.1 Deadline Logic (Indicator) Definition An indicator in the recipient master record.

Use This indicator is used in planning and controls per recipient that time-based equipment (TBE) is treated according to deadline logic in settlement.

This has no effect on performance-based equipment (PBE). Materials are excluded from deadline logic.


Page 35 of 84

Integration The Deadli ne logic indic ator in the recipi ent master record does not control deadline logic in settlement alone. You also have to make ETM-sp ecific Customizing settings under Logistics - General ® Equipment and Tools Management (ETM) ® Operations and Functions ® Settlement Usage Period

® Settlement Basic Data

®

® Deadlines per Transaction Type and Activity Type and Assign Activity Types to Deadline Surcharges .

Example A usage site manager requests an equipment from Oc tober 5th to November 2nd (restricted). The construction yard delivers the equipment to the usage site. If the equipment is not returned or released on November 2nd the usage site is charged. Released means the same as returned except that the equipment remains on the usage site and is sent from there to the next usage site that requires it. This reduces transport costs that would arise because of return transports to the construction yard.

!--a11y-->

Release Notification Limit for Unrestricted Usage Definition A field in the recipient master record.

Use For unrestricted usage of time-based equipment (TBE) you can determine the number of days in advance that a release notification is required before shipping. If this date is exceeded and shipping takes place without a prior release notification a Surcharge for Unrestricted Usage is raised in settlement (in the form of additional SD order items) according to the deadline logic.

Example A crane is on a usage site from April 5th (there is no end date). From May 20 th the site manager states the crane is no longer required; this means a release notification exists for this usage site from 04.20. However from an administrative point of view the site manager must notify (release notification) the administrator/planner 10 days in advance (that is on May 10 th) that the crane will be returned on 05.20., therefore allowing the planner to consider it again in planning. Settlement result: The crane has activ ity type In operation from 04.0 5. – 05.20 .

!--a11y-->

Minimum Usage Period for Restricted Usage Definition A field in the recipient master record.

Use This field determines the minimum number of days that a time-based equipment (TBE) is in use per recipient. If the equipment is shipped prematurely to a different activity type or usage location the full number of days till deadline is settled. This option from deadline logic is usually recommended if you know in advance how long the equipment is required. This is usually necessary to obtain a base for planning.

Prerequisites The settlement indicator and deadline logic indicator are set in the recipient master. The deadline logic 1 (minimum usage period) has been set for the combination document type, movement type, and activity number in the Customizing settings for ETM under Logistics - General ® Equipment and Tools Management (ETM) ® Op erations and Functions ® Settlement ® Settlement Basic Data ® Usage Period Deadlines per Transaction Type and Activity Type .

Example 1 Minimum usage period: 16 days A crane is s hipped to usage site A on January 1st and removed on January 10 th. According to the shipping document 10 days plus a surcharge of 6 days (total 16 days) are settled on usage site A.


Page 36 of 84

However if the crane exceeds the minimum usage period on the usage site the restricted usage changes to an unrestricted usage and the Release Notification Limit for Unrestricted Usage, and therefore the associated rules, come into effect.

Example 2 The usage site manager ships the crane to usage site B on January 18 th without prior releas e notification. The release notification limit for unrestricted usage is five days (RelNotAllUnrUsg field in recipient master) and the surcharge for unrestricted usage is 3 day s (SrchrgeUnrstUse field in recipient master). The usage site manager has not met the release notification limit of five days, therefore 18 days plus three days surcharge (total 21 days) is settled.

!--a11y-->

1.2.1.3.4 Surcharge for Unrestricted Usage Definition A field in the recipient master record.

Use This field specifies the number of days per recip ient that can b e charged as a surcharge for unrestricted usage if a deadline in the deadline logic is exceeded.

Integration This field is integrated with the field Release Notification Limit for Unrestricted Usage.

!--a11y-->

1.2.2 Document Entry Use ETM distinguishes between two categories of document: · Shipp ing Document · P erformance-b ased equipment document

Shipping Document You can send equipment, material or pac kages with a Shipping Document. There are the following document types: · Acqui sition (for examp le, when equip ment is purchased, leas ed or rented) · Change of activi ty typ e (for examp le, change of activity ty pe from "in operation" to "downtime". The equipment remains on the same usage site). · Ship ping from usage site A to usage site B · Retirement (for examp le, when equip ment is sold, s crap ped or when the rental agreement comes to an end) · Inventory or inventory adjustment postings

Performance-based equipment doc ument You can enter and store the number of hours that equipment has been in operation on a usage site in the Performance-Based Equipment Document. There is the following document type that can be copied any number of times: · Mac hine/operator’s report

Prerequisites · Only p hysic al equipment and materials are allowed. · The equip ment must have been assigned to an equipment type. · The equipment must be allowed in document entry. · The document type must have been defined. · The recip ient (ship-to party) must have b een created in the appropriate sales area.

!--a11y-->


Page 37 of 84

1.2.2.1 ETM Document Entry - Terminology Use Some of the terms that are important in ETM are listed and explained below.

Recipient Master Record Internal ship-to party Usage site to which equipment is sent.

Internal construction site in an enterprise

Ship-to party (joint venture) A joint venture is, from the point of view of a construction enterprise, for example, also an internal construction site to which equipment and materials are sent. However, you must also enter an external sold-to party in the recipient (customer) master record. The external sold-to party is required for customer settlement purposes.

External sold-to party Customer or debtor that is used externally for customer settlement.

Customer internal settlement (internal sold-to party) From an ETM point of view, customer internal settlement represents the internal sold-to party that appears in the order header during internal settlement. The customer (internal settlement) is necessary purely from a sales and distribution point of view (it represents the bill-to party and the payer). It has no relevance within a company code in ETM since the providing party or the debited party (for example, equipment and WBS element) is relevant to postings in FI/CO during settlement. However, the customer (internal settlement) plays an important role in operations across different company codes. See: Example: Settlement Across Different Company Codes for further information on this subject.

Control Parameters in the Recipient Master Record Recipient type The recipient type is a central control element in ETM. Different recipients can be grouped together to form a recipient type. You use the recipient type to assign a reference type, and therefore also an account assignment object, to the recipient. This enables you to make postings to FI/CO.

Reference type The reference type controls which account assignment object (for example, WBS element, project definition, CO order, cost center, PM order) is used for settlement purposes and for postings to FI/CO.

Settlement indicator This indicator controls whether ETM basic data and settlement data for the appropriate recipient, standard recipient or dummy recipient is used in settlement. (3level hierarchical access)

Standard recipient and dummy recipient These are fictitious recipients; their ETM settlement data is valid for a group of recipients during ETM settlement. This entails less maintenance when you want to change the control parameters. You only need to make the changes in the master record of the fictitious recipient (standard recipient or dummy recipient) and the changes will take effect for all recipients in the group as of the next settlement run. (See “Settlement indicator” ab ove for further information).

Settlement type The settlement type determines how the recipient is settled. Together with the Calendar ID , the Complete month and the No. days /month indic ators in the ETM settlement data of the recipient master record, it forms an important factor in long-standing determination of settlement data. There are the following settlement types for long-standing data determination: 1. Complete months + remaining calendar days 2. Complete months + remaining working days 3. Calendar days 4. Working days If you want to use method 1 or 3 (calendar days), you have to enter the number of calendar days per month (for example, 30) that you want the system to use as a basis for its calculations. If you want to use method 2 or 4 (working days), you have to enter the number of working days per month (for example, 20) that you want the system to use as a basis for its calculations. In addition to the number of calendar or working days per month, you must als o set the Complete month indicator to 1 or 2 for settlement types for which a


Page 38 of 84

complete month is relevant. If the settlement type is 3, the sy stem determines the actual number of calendar days . All other statistics, i ncludi ng the Calendar ID indic ator, have no effect on the calculation. If the settlement type is 4, the sys tem determines the number of working days by using the factory c alendar ( Calendar ID indicator). All other statistics have no effect on the calculation.

Normal case: internal construction sites To fulfill German requirements (commissioning month = 30 calendar days = 170 commissioning hours), you must make the following settings. These settings will vary from country to country. (Also valid for February): Settlement type = 1 (complete month + remaining calendar days) and Complete month indicator = 2 (whole month is encompassed), Days/month = 30 (calendar days), Hours/month = 170. Special case: joint ventures If equipment is in operation on a usage site from Oct. 1 st until Oct. 31st, then according to the contract, 31 days should be included in settlement and if equipment is in operation on a usage site from Nov. 1 st until Nov. 30 th then 30 days should be accounted for in settlement. The recommended settlement type in this case would be Calendar days .

Retirement date for time-based equipment If this indicator is set (in ETM settlement data in the recipient master record), the retirement date is included in the settlement of time-based equipment. The retirement date is the actual date on which the physical shipping of the equipment from one usage site to the next takes place. If the activity type is changed several times after the equipment has been sent to a usage site, the last day of the last activity type before the ETM settlement run is not regarded as the retirement date from this usage site. This day is settled normally, in other words in accordance with the equipment activity and settlement type and the available shipp ing and PBE documents.

Acquisition date for time-based equipment This date always counts when the commissioning period is calculated and is therefore always included in settlement. There is no special indicator in the recipient master record.

Retirement date for performance-based equipment (PBE) This indicator determines whether the retirement date is included for performance-based equipment when you use the Filler Calendar for Performance-Based Equipment function, in other words whether hours are automatically generated for the retirement date. The hours are only generated if at least one unit of activity (for example, one hour) has been entered with a PBE document within the whole period of time. If no PBE document has been entered in the period of time, the equipment activity is calc ulated in acc ordance with the shipp ing document (special c ase).

Use This indic ator is only of importance for internal settlement and only when the filler calendar for PBE takes effect. If you have s et the RetireDate/PBE indic ator in the recipient master record, then the system generates a PBE document for the equipment on its retirement date when you execute the filler calendar function. Only the actual units of activity (without hours that have been generated by the filler calendar) are included in external settlement for external sold-to parties. You cannot control this by using Customizing settings.

PBE documents that have been entered manually are always i ncluded in settlement. The RetireDate/PB E indic ator does not exc lude PBE documents that have been entered from settlement.

Acquisition date for performance-based equipment (PBE) See: “Retirement date for performance-based equipment”.

PBE as TBE If you set this indic ator in the recipi ent master record, equipment that has been defined as p erformance-bas ed equipment (Customizing for Equipment and Tools Management (ETM) under Op erations and Functions ®

Stock Check for Equipment ®

Stock Check per Equi. Type for Performance-Based Equi. ) is

treated as time-based equipment in settlement for this recipient. This means that the equipment is not settled on the basis of the PBE document, but on the basis of the shipping documents. You can find further information on this subject under Settlement PBE as TBE.

Equipment Master Record Time-based equipment Equipment that has been defined as time-based, for example a crane, is usually c ommissioned for a s pecific length of time on a s pecific usage site. This period of time is always settled in days for time-based equipment. The shipping document is used as basis for settlement for time-based equipment. The PBE document is not taken into account for time-based equipment. If it were, settlement would take place twice – once using the shipping document and once using the PBE document. Time-based equipment can be an equipment item or multipart equipment. For further information, see Settlement of Time-Based Equipment .

Performance-based equipment Equipment that has been defined as performance-based, for example an excavator, is usually settled in hours on the basis of the PBE document. The performance-based equipment document is used as basis for settlement for performance-based equipment. If no PBE document has been created for the complete commissioning period, the shipping document is used as a b asis for settlement. PBE is usually expensiv e equipment and managed in stock as an equipment item. To keep the equipment costs as comprehensive as possible, it is usually a good idea to create a separate PM order administrator (cost collector)


Page 39 of 84

for each equipment item. Due to contractual agreements, PBE must sometimes be settled using the shipping document for specific ship-to parties (for example, joint ventures). If you want to repres ent this case in the sy stem, y ou must set the PBE as TBE indica tor in the recipi ent master record. You can find further information on this sub ject in the section PBE as TBE and under Settlement of Performance-Based Equipment.

Stock check for performance-based equipment A check takes place to determine whether the equipment type that has been defined for the equipment (in Customizing) is relevant to the stock c heck or not.

The Pric e group (material group) indicator in the equipm ent master record is only relevant to pric ing.

Equipment item You can find further information under “Performance-based equipment”. An equipment item is usually defined as p erformance-based equipment but can also be time-based equipment.

Multipart equipment Equipment such as drilling machines, grinders, scaffolding and shuttering that do not have their own inventory number. You cannot define multipart equipment as performance-based.

Document Entry Activity and settlement type (AS type) There are different activity and settlement types, for example, in operation, downtime, available for use. An activity type does not have to be a settlement type and vice versa. Condition techniques and the pricing procedure in SD determine which condition types are used in settlement. For example, you can define that rental and repair costs are due when equipment is in operation, only rent has to be paid when the equipment has been assigned the activity type “downtime” and there are no extra costs at all when the equipment is available for use.

Equipment is in operation on a usage site for five days (activity type: “in operation”). For two of these five days, the activity type of the equipment is changed to “downtime” because no work was done on the usage site on these two days. Result in settlement: The usage site is charged for 3 days in operation (for these three days the usage site has to pay rental and repair costs) and 2 days downtime (for these two days the usage site only has to pay rental charges). For further information, s ee: Settlement of Delivery and Activity .

Acquisition We use the term acquisition when equipment is entered in the company stock for the first time, for example after it has been bought, leased or rented. You can send equipment directly to a usage site without having to first send it to the contractor’s yard, warehouse or storage location.

Retirement We use the term retirement when equipment is sold, scrapped or returned to an external rental service. The physical “retirement” of equipment when it is sent from one usage site to another usage site is not referred to as retirement but as shipping.

Shipping All equipment, irrespective of whether it is performance-based or time-based, is usually sent from one usage site to another usage site by means of a shipp ing document (historical inventory management). In this case, building contractor’s yards and storage locations are also regarded as usage sites from which equipment can be sent.

Change of activity type We use the term change of activity type to represent the case when the activity and settlement type of equipment on a usage site is changed as of a specific date but the equipment itself remains on the same site.

On 10.01. shipment of an equipment to usage site A with activity type Usage . From 11.14. the activity type changes from Usage to Available , on 11.20. the equipment again has activi ty type Usage , on 11.30 . the settlement runs. The equipment is removed from usage si te A on 12.15. The commissioning time for this equipment on usage site A is hereby ended.

If the activity type is changed several times after the equipment has been sent to a usage site, the last day of the last activity type before the ETM settlement run is not regarded as the retirement date from this usage site. This day is settled normally, in other words in accordance with the equipment activity and settlement type and the available shipping and PBE documents. We only use the term retirement date when the equipment is physically sent from one usage site to the next.


Page 40 of 84

ETM Settlement Commissioning time The commissioning time, or commissioning period, covers the time from the start of the usage period until the end of the usage period or until the settlement date if the equipment is still in use on the settlement date. It is of no importance how often the activity type for the equipment has been changed in this time.

Inventory Management if either the sender or the recipient in the shipping document is of reference type “warehouse/storage location”.

If you use a shipping document to send material to a warehouse (for example, acquisition of 26 items of material 4711), then as far as inventory management is concerned, this means an acquisition of 26 items in ETM as well as 26 items in MM. You can branch to the material document by double-clicking on it in the shipping document.

If you post both equipment and materials in the same shipping document and you then discover that you did not want to post the material and you cancel it, the equipment is also cancelled.

1.2.2.3.10 1.2.2. 3.10 Inventory Managem Management ent Use We distinguish between inventory management for equipment and inventory management for materials. You can define on different levels whether you want inventory management to take place (for example, on document level, on recipient level, on equipment level or on material level) and which type of inventory management you want to take place. There are two types of inventory management: · Chrono Chronological logical inv entory management, without without missi ng parts/ shortfall quantities: you must enter the shipp ing documents in chronological order. This means that you cannot enter a shipping document to send equipment or material from usage site A (sender) to usage site B (recipient) until the equipment or material really is av ailable (in stock) on usage site A (sender). · Chaotic inventory management, with miss ing parts/ shortfall quantities: quantities: you can enter a ship ping document for equip ment/material without it previousl y havi ng been posted to the site you want to send it from. You can post the acquisition document for the sending site at a later date. For more information, see Stock Control.. Control

Prerequisites You must have made the appropriate settings in Customizing for ETM.

Activities Making settings for equipment inventory inventory management You can control the inventory management type for equipment on three levels in the following sequence: · Document category category · Recipient type · Equip ment type If you want to use chaotic inventory management for specific equipment, you must ensure that you have set chaotic inventory management on all all of of these three levels. If you do not do this, the system uses the inventory management type and chaotic inventory management is not the first in the set sequence of inventory invento ry management types in the sy stem.

Example 1 Inventory management for document category “shipping document” = chaotic Inventory management for recipient type “internal usage site” = chronological Inventory management for equipment type 2000 = chaotic (setting no longer necessary) Result: inventory management would be chronological for equipment of equipment type 2000 and recipient of recipient type “internal usage site”. Example 2 Inventory management for document category “shipping document” = chaotic Inventory management for recipient type “warehouse” = no inventory management Inventory management for equipment type 2000 = chaotic (setting no longer necessary) Result: no inventory management takes place for all recipients of recipient type “warehouse”.

Making settings for material inventory management You can control the inventory management type for materials on two levels in the following sequence: · Document category category · Materia Materiall type/recip type/recip ient type If you want to use chaotic inventory management for specific materials, you must ensure that you have set chaotic inventory management on both both of of these levels. If you do not do this, the system uses the inventory management type and chaotic inventory management is not the first in the set sequence of inventory invento ry management types in the sy stem.

Inventory management for document category “shipping document” = chaotic Inventory management for material type “non-consumable materials”/recipient type “internal usage site” = chaotic Result: inventory management would be chaotic.

1.2.2.3.11 1.2.2. 3.11 Intermediate Recip Recipient ient Definition Physical material deliveries from one usage site to another (onward delivery) require a “warehouse/storage location” in the system as a type of intermediate recipient. This “warehouse” is known as the “intermediate recipient”.

Use If materials are shipped from usage site to usage site, the warehouse, or intermediate recipient, must first purchase back the materials and then resell them to the next usage site. The Intermediate Recipient adopts the doubl doubl e role role of the wareho warehouse use to which the sending us age site would site would return the materials and from which the receiving usage site would receive these materials. The intermediate recipient must have reference type “warehouse”. For more information about the intermediate recipient, see the appropriate chapters in the IMG under: · Define Document Types · Intermediate Recip ient per Organizational Structure · Intermediate Recip ient Indicator Indicator for Material Shipp ing

Integration The system checks the Int Intermediat ermediate e Recipient when you you create a shipping document (see: (see: Creat Creating ing a Shipp ing Document) Document) if the resource “material” has been defined in the document type. You can define an intermediate recipient per company code, business area and plant in Customizing. This intermediate recipient appears as default entry when you enter a shipping document but you change it in accordance with your Customizing setting.

1.2.3 Calendar Maintenance Use In accordance with settings for the Settlement Calendar (date, activity type and acces s s equence), you can takes changes of activity type into account in settlement without shipping documents having previously been created. Likewise, performance-based equipment documents (PBE documents) can be generated with the Filler Calendar for Performance-Based Equipment in accordance with the settings for date, activity type and access sequence for this calendar.

Integration The data that is created by calendar maintenance is processed using the condition technique in the SD order.

Prerequisites · The settlement calendar only takes ship ping documents into acc ount. · The PBE filler calendar only takes effect for performance-bas ed equipment (PBE documents).

Features PUBLIC © 2014 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.

Page 51 of 84

· In accordance with the acc ess s equence that has been defined for settlement, the settlement calendar sim ulates a change of activi ty type. · The PBE filler calendar creates miss ing PBE documents or completes exis ting PBE documents that are incomplete.

Activities The appropriate settings must have been made in Customizing and appropriate transaction data must have been defined.

!--a11y-->

1.2.3.1 Settlement Calendar Use The settlement calendar enables you to enter and store important settlement data for equipment on different levels per day or period of time. It consists of the following functions: · Creating a Settlement Calendar · Releasing Entries in a Settlement Calendar

Integration You have to release all the entries in the settlement calendar after you have entered them. Entries in the settlement calendar will not be taken into account in the Generation of SD Orders until they have b een released.

Prerequisites You can make settings in Customizing to control the following: · which settlement and activity ty pe is taken into account in the settlement calendar · whether the settlement calendar or the document activ ity and settlement type is dominant (Customizing for Equipment and Tools Management (ETM) ® Op erations and Functions ® Settlement ® Settlement Calendar ) · whic h acc ess sequences the sy stem uses (Customizing for Equipment and Tools Management (ETM) ® Op erations and Functions

® Settlement ®

Pricing ).

Features Users should make entries in the settlement calendar. Releasing entries has a major impact on the generation of SD orders. The release acts as a type of control mechanism and should be carried out by an authorized person. The settlement calendar is only of relevance for shipping documents and not for PBE documents.

Example 1 Equipment is in operation on usage site A from 12.01. – 12.30. No work is done on usage site A on 12.12. due to severe weather conditions. So that this can be taken into account in settlement, the appropriate activity type for bad weather is set on usage site level for this site and on this date. Result in settlement: the activity type for bad weather is used in settlement for all equipment on this usage site and on this date Equipment is split into several SD items in ETM Settlement. Different settlement condition records can be used depending on the activity and settlement type. You can define these using condition techniques in the SD module.

Example 2 The whole company is shut down from December 24th until January 3 rd . If you want this to be taken into account in settlement, you must make appropriate settings on the highest access level (company code). Result in settlement: all equipment on all usage sites in this company code is settled with activity and settlement type “shutdown” from 12.24. – 01.03.

The following hierarchical levels have been defined: ·

Debited company code – debited business area – recipi ent – equipment (most exact setting)

·

Debited company code – debited business area – recipient – equipment type

·

Debited company code – debited business area – recipient

·

Debited company code – debited business area

· Debited company code (least exact setting)

Page 54 of 84

Use The PBE filler calendar generates missing PBE documents or completes existing PBE documents that are incomplete. In praxis it is used as a type of controlling mechanism or “educational measure”.

The construction workers/the construction site manager has forgotten to enter PBE documents for excavator A on 04.04. The excavator was being repaired on this date, however the missing 8 hours for the 04.04. are nevertheless still filled and settled with activity and settlement type “in operation” as defined in the filler calendar for PBE.

Integration PBE documents that are then taken into account in the Generation of SD Orders are generated by the following function: · Filling Performance-Based Equipment Documents

Prerequisites · At least one unit of activi ty must have b een entered manually for the equipment in the commis sioning period. · If you want to be ab le to complete/fil l PBE documents, y ou must have defined a separate document type for which the Generate hours indicator has been set.

1.2.4 ETM Settlement Purpose When talking about ETM settlement, we are referring to automatic SD Order G eneration including its determination of the appropriate condition types for the individual activity and s ettlement types per usage s ite and then subsequent billing and updating in FI/CO. ETM settlement automates the complex internal and external creation of SD documents. SD orders are generated on the basis of existing shipping and PBE documents. It does not make any difference whether the objects are in the same company code or in different company codes. The system converts the shipping documents and PBE documents into SD orders. These SD orders can then be billed. You can settle equipment according to commissioning (corresponding to the date of the shipping document and using exact days) or according to activity (corresponding to the performance-based equipment document and using exact hours). Usually (old logic) you determine the settlement type that you use (commiss ioning only, ac tivity only, both, neither) using the indicator Stock check p er equipment type for performance-b ased equip ment in Customizing for ETM, and the indic ator PBE or TBE in the recipient master record of the recipi ent for settlement. (Settle PBE as per TBE) controlled in the recip ient master record of the settlement-relevant recipient. The new settlement logic derives the settlement type from two indicators in the equipment master record (by commissioning, by activity) and the above-mentioned indicator in the recipi ent master record. The sys tem settles shipp ing documents if the indicator Settlement by commiss ioning is set in the equip ment master. The sys tem settles p erformance-based equipment documents (PBE documents) if the indicator Settlement by ac tivity is s et in the equipment master and the indicator Settl PBE as TBE is not set in the recipi ent master. In Customizing for ETM under Op erations and Functions ® Settlement ® Settlement Basic D ata ® New Logic SD Settlement PBE as TBE you can set the indicator of the same name if you want to execute settlement according to the new logic.

Prerequisites Shipping Documents and PBE Documents must exist.

Process Flow In praxis, a central body (depending on authorization group) usually starts the settlement run a few days after the end of the month since it is presumed that all the shipping documents and PBE documents have been entered in the system by then. You should execute these functions connected with settlement in the following order: · Location Setup · Completion of PBE Documents · Check Recipient · Generating SD Orders · Postprocess Input · Check SD Orders · Settlement List

Result The system has generated internal and external SD orders.

1.2.4.1 Stock Control Use This is a function that finds missing shipping documents or incorrect stock data and displays this information in a table with colors to ease comprehension. It is only sensible to use the stock control function for chaotic inventory management. You should perform a stock control before you execute the Location Setup.


Page 56 of 84

Activities If the stock control function finds incorrect documents, you have to correct the errors before you continue. You must repeat the above step until you have corrected all the errors. The last run should be an update run.

!--a11y-->

1.2.4.1.1 Performing a Stock Control Procedure 1. On the initial screen choose Logistics ® Equipment and Tools Management ® Transaction Data ® Settlement ® Stock Control. The Stock Control screen appears. 2. You can make app ropriate restrictions using the recip ient, equip ment or materials. 3. Choose Execute.

Result The sys tem display s a hit list. You can change this list by choosing Settings ® Disp lay variant ® Current... .

!--a11y-->

1.2.4.2 Location Setup Use This function is used in conjunction with chaotic Inventory Management. It enables you to keep the correct chronological order of shipping documents for equipment (equipment items and multipart equipment) and materials.

Integration If chaotic inventory management is being used, you must have executed a complete location setup before SD orders can be generated in ETM Settlement. This ensures that the documents from chaotic inventory management are transferred to historical stock from where they can then be included in settlement. Only authorized persons should execute a location setup since the location setup changes the status of the shipping documents definitively. You can no longer make any more changes to the shipping documents after location setup has been executed.

Prerequisites Incorrect stock chains must have been corrected using the Stock Control function. You must correct any stock errors for equipment items before you can execute a location setup. As far as multipart equipment and materials are concerned, it is advisable to correct any errors before executing a location setup.

You should correct missing parts and shortfall quantities for multipart equipment and materials manually at regular intervals.

Activities Execute the location setup directly or in the background. Background processing has the following advantages: · Incorrect stock c hains are transferred to historical stock and sav ed automaticall y. · The sys tem disp lays incorrect stock at the end of the location setup and you can then correct these errors.

!--a11y-->

1.2.4.2.1 Executing a Location Setup Procedure 1. On the initial screen choose Logistics ® Equipment and Tools Management ® Transaction Data ® Settlement ® Location Setup. 2. Selec t your data using the restrictions for date, recipient (only for multipart equipm ent and materials), equi pment and materials or execute a complete location setup before ETM settlement. 3. Choose Program ® Execute in back ground .


Page 57 of 84

If you want to run an update run, remove the Test run indic ator. If you only want to disp lay the error log (and not a list of stock ) set the indicator Only display error log . If you set the indicator Negative stock allowed the system allows negative s tock for multipart equipment and material in the location. To avoid problems during settlement do not set this indicator. The system does not consider negative stock during settlement. 4. Choose Execute. 5. The sy stem disp lays a lis t containing all the data for your selection. 6. Save the location setup. 7. Correct erroneous entries and execute the location setup again. Repeat this procedure until you have corrected all the errors. 8. Save the location setup.

Result You have created historical stock that can be taken into account in settlement.

!--a11y-->

1.2.4.3 Completion of PBE Documents Use The filler calendar for performance-based equipment allows you to do the following for internal activity settlement: · Create a performance-b ased equip ment (PBE) document for missing day s (days that have not been acc ounted for at all) and fill these days with, for exampl e, the activity and settlement type “in operation”. · Complete reports for days on which a PBE document exis ts but has not been fully maintained (in other words, fill gap s in the report up to a maximum num ber of hours per day).

Integration You can make Customizing settings to determine whether the Settlement Calendar or the Performance-Based Equipment Calendar takes precedence in SD settlement.

Prerequisites · In the appropriate recip ient master record, you must have defined whether you want miss ing PBE documents to be c reated and/or existing ones to be completed · Whether you want the acquis ition date and the retirement date for PBE to be taken into account when hours are generated (taking the p resump tions below into account) · You must know the location of the performance-b ased equip ment via the shipp ing documents (historical stock) · You can only create or complete hours for periods of time for which at least one PBE document has been entered manuall y. · The equip ment typ e for the performance-b ased equipm ent must be relevant to stock chec ks .

Features Creates a separate document type for generated PBE documents from the filler calendar for PBE. Before the monthly settlement run for PBE takes place, the system displays in color the periods of time on usage sites where no equipment activity in the form of PBE documents has been entered. You should pay particular attention to the retirement date at the submitting usage site and the acquisition date at the receiving usage site. The following presumptions have been made: · The standard case ac counts for a constant (daily ) change of PBE. This means that the system does not generate any hours on the retirement date (for example, retirement date for sending usage site is 02.22.). Presumption is that a PBE document will be entered for the receiving party on the acquisition date (02.22.). · If neither the sending party nor the receivi ng party enter a PBE document, PBE documents are generated with the activity ty pe “in operation” for both parties. · In the case of onward delivery (us age site to usage s ite), it is pres umed that hours will not be generated by the other party if at least one PBE document has been entered on either the retirement date (submitting usage site) or the acquisition date (receiving usage site).

!--a11y-->

1.2.4.3.1 Filling PBE Documents Prerequisites · PBE documents that have been entered manually · Entries must have been made in the calendar (see: Creating a Filler Calendar for Performance-Based Equipment). · The indicator for filling PBE documents mus t have been set in the recip ient master record.


Page 58 of 84

Procedure 1. On the initial screen choose Logistics ® Equipment and Tools Management ® Transaction Data ® Settlement ® Fill PBE Documents. The Fill PBE Documents screen appears. 2. Enter the document type that has been defined sp ecial ly for the PBE filler calendar. 3. Enter the appropriate sales area (sal es organization, distrib ution channel, div isi on) and the settlement period. 4. Choose Execute. A screen disp laying the commissioning time for the equipment (according to the shipp ing document) on the usage site app ears. There may be the following entries: ¡ Location record with PBE documents exis ts ¡ Location record without PBE documents ex ists 5. Fill the document using Edit ® Create/Enhance PBE Documents (F5) or using function Create/Enhance PBE Documents (F5). The disp lay changes . The following key appears: ¡ Do not create/complete, PBE document exis ts ¡ Do not create/complete, no PBE document exis ts ¡ Missing daily documents are created ¡ Existing daily documents are completed 6. Save the PBE documents.

Result You have created and/or completed PBE documents.

Settings: Period Feb. 1st until Feb. 29 th has been defined with create/complete up to 8 hours incl. (but no hours should be generated at the weekend or on public holidays). Complete hours with the activity and settlement type “downtime” and create hours with the activity and settlement type “in operation”. In the recipient master record of usage sites 100050 and 100 00 4 the PBE Documents are set to Create (1) and Enhance (2). This indicator will only take effect if the stock check for PBE has been set in Customizing. A stock check has been defined for equipment type 2000 , for example. This means that you must enter a shipping document before a PBE document can be entered. The retirement date PBE ( RetireDate/PBE ) and acquisition date PBE ( Acq. dte counts ) indicators have b een set for recipient 100 050 and 100004, in other words, these dates will be taken into account when the PBE calendar is filled.

1.2.4.4 SD Order Generation Use This function automatically transfers all shipping documents and PBE documents up to a freely definable date (settlement date) to SD orders (customer-specific conditions are taken into account).

Prerequisites You have entered all the shipping documents and PBE documents for the defined period of time. The settlement run that is triggered when you run the program ultimately ends a settlement period to such an extent that you can no longer create or change the affected shipping and PBE documents in retrospect (because the document status is changed). · The sys tem does not generate SD order items for retirement documents . The sys tem assi gns a retirement status to retirement documents. · Onl y documents for which the activity typ e has been defined as rel evant to settlement in Customizing are taken into acc ount.

Features ETM settlement makes all the necessary checks on recipient and equipment master data, including a check to determine whether the equipment activity type i s


Page 64 of 84

also a settlement type. The system generates SD orders from shipping documents and PBE documents (taking the settlement calendar into account). When you start the program, the system checks whether it is dealing with dependent or independent equipment and generates different batch jobs in the background according to this criterion. Dependent equipment refers to equipment for which there can be both shipping documents and PBE documents for a recipient in the same period of time. (Equipment type is relevant to stock c heck.) Independent equipment refers to equipment for which there can only be shipping documents. (Equipment type is irrelevant to stock check ).

Recommendation You should perform an ETM Test Settlement Run and correct any outstanding errors before you start an update run.

Activities Include all the documents in settlement or select the data you wish to include via the document number, ship-to party or company code.

You can distinguish between SD orders that are generated automatically and those that are created in dialog. The system assigns a number for each update settlement run that is generated automatically. This number is entered as the order number for the generated SD order. The order date is the date of the settlement run. For each item in the SD order, you can also find the original document and item numbers for the shipping document or PBE document.

Result Generated SD orders.

Settlement of Activity and Delivery Purpose The amount of activity that is performed is settled for equipment. Delivery and return delivery is settled for materials. The system generates documents and postings automatically during ETM settlement of equipment activity and material deliveries. This ensures that ETM mass data can be processed successfully. Organizational structures in ETM are determined in accordance with (1) the providing party (equipment) and settings for the PM order administrator, for example, and (2) the account assignment object to be debited in the recipient master record. (You can make posting rule settings in Customizing to determine this).

Process Flow The system separates settlement of activity and delivery automatically into internal cost settlement and external customer settlement (joint ventures) during the ETM settlement run. Since ETM uses a providing and debited party as a base for calculations, additional posting rules have been defined that control debiting and crediting of the account assignment objects for each party. If required, these posting rules can be automatically redirected (per condition type) to account assignment objects (for example, collective cost center) other than those that have been defined in the equipment master record and in the recipient/customer master record. For further information on this subject, please see the appropriate documentation in the Implementation Guide (IMG). Price determination for settlement purposes usually takes place using equipment spec ification catalogs. However, it c an also be based on pric e lists and prices that have been entered directly in the equipment master record.

Settlement of Time-Based Equipment Prerequisites The basis for settlement of time-based equipment is: · the shipp ing document (acquis ition documents, ship ping documents, changes of activ ity type and retirement documents ) · the appropriate activi ty and settlement type (AS typ e), for exampl e, “in operation”, “availab le for use”, “downtime” · the Settlement Type in the Recipient Master Record


Page 65 of 84

· the commissi oning time in days , the factory calendar and the number of days p er month in the recip ient master record · the Catalog (a typ e of equipment specifications lis t) for pric ing purposes

The system checks the following: · whether the equipment typ e of the equipm ent (in Customizing) is relev ant to stock chec ks · which recip ient master record is used for settlement (3-level hierarch y)

Example Presumption 1: Equipment 4711 has been defined as an equipment item with equipment type 20 00 in the equipment master record. Settings in Customizing for ETM: · Under Equipment and Tools Management (ETM) ® Op erations and Functions

® Stock Check for Equipment ® Inventory Management per Equip ment

Type for Shipping D ocuments , the indicator ( InvM indicator) has b een set for chronological inventory management. · Under Equipment and Tools Management (ETM) ® Op erations and Functions

® Stock Check for Equipment ® Stock Check per Equipment Type for

Performance Based Equipment , the indicator ( InvM indicator) has been s et for chronological inventory management. Settlement type: complete month and remaining calendar days Days/month: 30 days

Case study 1: Equipment (for example, a crane) is sent to usage site A with a shipping document on Oct. 15 th. It remains at usage site A for the whole of the settlement period. Settlement takes place on Oct. 31 st. The RetireDate/TBE indicator for time-based equip ment is set for usage site A.

Result of settlement on Oct. 31st: Calendar days determined from Oct. 15th until Oct. 31 st = 15 days. The retirement date is of no consequence here. The retirement date does not count until an actual retirement (scrapping, sale of equipment and so on) takes place. The monthly depreciation and interest rate (lower value) is € 3,375. Condition value: 15/30 * € 3.37 5 = € 1.687 ,50 Result of settlement on Nov. 31 st: Calendar days determined from Nov. 1st until Nov. 12th (incl. retirement date) = 12 days. The monthly depreciation and interest rate is the same as above. Condition value: 12/30 * € 3.37 5 = € 1,3 50

Case study 2: The above equipment is sent to usage site B on Nov. 12 th where its activity type is changed several times. It is sent to usage site C on Dec. 20 th and it remains there for the rest of the settlement period. Usage site B: retirement date (TBE) does not count Usage si te C: Retirement date (TBE) counts

Result of Settlement on Nov. 30 th: At usage site B: An order item from 11.12 until 11.19. = 8 days in operation An order item from 11.20. until 11.25. = 6 days av ailable for use An order item from 11.26. until 11.30. = 5 days downtime Result of Settlement on Dec. 31 st: At usage site B: An order item from Dec. 1 st to Dec. 20 th = 19 days in operation (without retirement date – see above) At usage site C: An order item from Dec. 21 st to Dec. 31st = 11 days in operation (acquisition date always counts for TBE)

Performance-Based Equipment , The indicator ( Stck indicator) has been s et as being relevant to stock check s. In other words, if for organizational reasons PBE documents also existed for TBE, these would be taken into account in settlement. Result of settlement:settlement would take place twice in this c ase – once using the shipp ing document as in cas e study 1 and a sec ond time using the PBE document.

To avoid this, you should block the PBE document against data entry for TBE.

!--a11y-->

Settlement of Performance-Based Equipment Case Study 1: Shipping With Shipping Document Prerequisites The basis for settlement of performance-based equipment is: · the PBE Document with the actual number of hours worked on the usage site and the appropriate activity and settlement type (AS type) such as “in operation”, “available for use”, “downtime”, and so on · the number of hours p er month (in the recipi ent master record) · the Catalog (a typ e of equipment specifications lis t) for pric ing purposes The equipment type for the performance-based equipment must be relevant to inventory checks. The activ ity type must point to an equipment activi ty (SAP Implementation Guide ® Logistics - General ® Equipment and Tools Management (ETM) ® Op erations and Functions ® Activity Types and Settlement Types ® Determine Activity Types and Settlement Types ® Servi ce Provider indicator is the equipment. The PBE as TBE indic ator in the recip ient master record must not be set

Standard case: PBE is sent to the usage site with a shipping document on Feb. 1 st (historical stock record). PBE documents are created for the equipment. (04.02./06.02. (February 4th/6th and 8 th, each 3 hours with activity and settlement type “in operation”). Result of Settlement on Feb. 29 th: On Feb. 4th, Feb. 6th and Feb. 8 th, each date with 3 hours in operation. 9 hours are included in settlement. If there is no PBE document for the whole period of time, the shipping document is used as a basis for the settlement (from Feb. 1 st until Feb. 29 th).

If the equipment type for the equipment is irrelevant to stock checks, then as far as ETM is concerned, you are dealing with time-based equipment. If both shipping documents and PBE documents exist for the equipment, both are settled (double settlement).

Case Study 2: Shipping Without Shipping Document Prerequisites The basis for settlement of performance-based equipment is: · the equipment typ e for the equipment must not be relev ant to stock c heck s. If it were, the equipment would have to have b een sent to the usage site using a shipp ing document. · only the PBE document should be flagged as al lowed document category for this equip ment in the equipment master record.

PBE equipment is sent to a usage site without a shipping document (for example, on a heavy goods vehicle). No historical stock record is created. Equipment activities are entered in the system using PBE documents . Result of settlement: only the PBE document can be used in settlement. If no PBE documents had been created in the settlement period, no activity would be included in settlement.

Case Study 3: Using the Settlement Calendar Settings: Equipment 3000 000 06 allowed for shipp ing documents and PBE documents, equipment type 200 0 (relevant to stock check s) and recipient


Page 67 of 84

100050. Equipment is sent to recipient 100 050 with a shipping document on Feb. 1st (acquisition). A PBE document is entered with 3 hours in operation on Feb. 3 rd . The settlement calendar enters activity and settlement type “downtime” on recipient level 100050 for Feb. 2 nd and 3 rd . The equipment is s ent from usage site 100050 to usage site 100 051 on Feb. 5th and it stays there for the rest of the settlement period. No PBE document is entered for recipient 100051 over the entire period. Result of Settlement on Feb. 29 th: Recipient 100 050 is c harged for 3 hours in operation on Feb 3 rd (PBE document). · Recipient 1000 51 is c harged with activity type “in operation” from Feb. 5th until Feb. 29 th (ship ping document).

Since you are dealing with PBE, only the PBE document is settled for recipient 100050. Entries in the settlement calendar are irrelevant to settlement in this case and are ignored.

Activities Ensure that the PBE as TBE indic ator in the ETM Settlement data view of the recip ient master record is not flagged. Define the equipment types for PBE equipment that you want to be settled using PBE documents as relevant to stock checks. You can do this in Customizing for ETM under O perations and Functions

1.2.4.4.1.3 Settlement of PBE as TBE Use ETM equipm ent activity can b e settled differently for different recip ients. For examp le, there is an indicator ( PBE as TBE indicator) in the recip ient master record that allows you to determine that the same equipment is settled as time-based equipment (TBE) for external recipients and as performance-based equipment (PBE) for internal recipients.

Prerequisites The basis for settlement of performance-based equipment as time-based equipment (PBE as TBE) is the shipping document. The PBE as TBE indicator must have been set in the Recipient Master Record for the recipient that you want to include in settlement. The equipment type for the equipment must be relevant to stock checks (= performance-based equipment). The prerequisites from Settlement of Time-Based Equipment also apply.

Exception If PBE has been sent to a customer using a shipping document and no PBE document has been created during the whole commissioning period, the PBE is settled as though it were TBE (using the shipping document). This avoids the case of the customer not being billed at all.

Activities Flag the PBE as TBE indic ator in the Settlement data view of the recipient master record (see: Changing a Recipient Master Record.

Formula for determining the value of the order for each item: (axb/c) x base amount (basic price) x condition factor = order value per item. a = quantity from shipping document b = equivalence number from settlement package of appropriate item c = sum of all equivalence numbers in package condition factor = days in operation/days per month from recipient master record Result of settlement Item 10 (1 x 6/9) x 275 x 0.1333 = € 24.44 Item 20 (1 x 3/9) x 75 x 0 .1333 = € 3.33

The quantity in the SD item does not represent the physical quantity but the condition type for the settlement package. The quantity in the SD document is multiplied accordingly for multipart equipment.

!--a11y-->

Settlement for Multipart Equipment Prerequisites · Multip art equipm ent should not be performance-bas ed. · The allowed document c ategory in the equipment mas ter record is shi pp ing document. (PBE document should not be an al lowed document c ategory for multipart equipment). · The equipment type of the equipment cannot be relevant to stock chec ks .

Example 10 drills (multipart equipment) are sent to usage site A with settlement and activity type “in operation” on May 1 st.

Display in Historical Stock Settlement with activity and settlement type In Operation . 3 of these drilling machines are sent to usage site B on May 15 th. The remaining 7 drilling machines stay on usage site A for the whole of the settlement period (until May 31st).

Display in Historical Stock From May 5th - 15.05. 10 machines on usage site A, settlement and activity type “in operation”. From May 15th - unrestricted-use stock = 7 on usage site A, activity and settlement type “in operation” From May 15th - unrestricted-use stock = 3 on usage site B, activity and settlement type “in operation”. 1) Usage site A with activity and settlement type “in operation” is completed by May 15 th. Usage site A: new stock is created as of May 15 th for the remaining quantity of 7 with activity type “in operation”. Usage site B: new stock is created as of May 15 th for the remaining quantity of 3 with activity type “in operation”.

Result of Settlement on May 31 st on Usage Site A 10 units are settled with activity type “in operation” from May 1 st until May 15th. 7 units are settled with activity type “in operation” from May 15 th until May 31 st.

Result of Settlement on May 31 st on Usage Site B 3 units are settled with activity type “in operation” from May 15 th until May 31 st.

1.2.4.4.1.6 Settlement of Materials Use You must use an intermediate recipient if you want to send materials. This intermediate recipient usually represents the physical warehouse or storage location.

Prerequisites · The Intermediate Recipient field must have been filled in the shipping document in cases of onward delivery (automatic material sales/material repurchase). · The sys tem only takes those materials into account that are being sent internally (within the same c ompany c ode or across different company c odes). External shipping is irrelevant here. · The activity typ e form the shipping document must have been assigned an onward delivery activity type (return delivery ac tivity type). · The app ropriate assignment sales /rep urchas e for material deliveries mus t have been made for the document and material typ e. · The ship ping document type must have been ass igned to the appropriate sales document types for internal and external material sales and material repurchase. · The appropriate billing typ e must have b een assigned to the sales/repurchase document type. · Different item categories (Standard SD and MM) must have b een created for material sales and repurc hase and these must have been ass igned to item category groups which, in turn, must have been assigned to the material.

Settlement Across Different Company Codes Use This type of settlement takes effect if you have more than one company code (legally independent company) in your enterprise. It does not matter which company code the objects for settlement (PM order, WBS element, CO order and so on) belong to. Posting rules determine which account assignment object is used to determine the company code for the providing and debited parties.

Integration Numerous settings must be made in Customizing for ETM.

Prerequisites All the company codes must use the same chart of accounts.

Features This function uses electronic data interchange (EDI) to generate an outgoing invoice for one company code and an incoming invoice in another company code. Settlement of tax is also taken into account.

Example: Settlement Across Different Company Codes Using EDI Prerequisites · Providing and debited acc ount ass ignment objects b elong to different organizational structures (company c odes).

Equipment (PM order administrator = p roviding object) has been as signed to company code 00 01. Construction site (WBS element = debited object) has been ass igned to company code 000 2. · Material must have been c reated in the app ropriate organizational structure. · Deb tor must have been c reated for the app ropriate sales area or for Financ ial Acc ounting (FI).

Procedure Business back ground and task Many companies manage their equipment in a separate company that is a legally independent unit with its own balance sheets and accounts. This is represented by a company code in SAP (company code 0001). The usage sites (for example, construction sites) can also belong to their own legally independent company and therefore have another company code (company code 0002). For this reason, and provided that you are not dealing with an integrated company, when using an equipment or material that belongs to company code 001 at a usage site belonging to company code 002 you must create an outbound and inbound billing document with the relevant tax for each company code. In other words, company code 0001 creates and posts an outbound invoice (debit). Company code 0002 posts an inbound invoice (credit). How does the system deal with this task? EDI can be used to avoid invoices from company code 000 1 having to be entered manually in company code 00 02. When the outbound invoice from company code 000 1 is created and posted, an inb ound invoice is triggered in company code 000 2 by means of output/message control and EDI. As far as company code 000 1 is concerned, company code 0002 is a real customer and must therefore be entered as a cus tomer (debtor) in the system, even for the sales area. As far as company code 000 2 is concerned, company code 0001 is a real vendor and must therefore be entered as a vendor (creditor) in the system, even for the purchasing organization. Postings Outbound invoice (debit) in company c ode 0001 01 Receivables for company code 0002 (usage site) 50 Cost element revenue from rental (accounted to providing party = PM order) A1 Value-added tax (V.A.T.) Automatic inbound invoice (credit) in company c ode 00 02 31 Payables for company code 0001 40 Equipment rental costs (accounted to debiting party = WBS element for usage site) V1 Input tax Detailed description of the procedure and appropriate Customizing settings for cross-company code settlement with EDI Equipment from company code 0001 is sent to a usage site in company code 0002 The PM order (administrator) for the equipment has been assigned to company code/business area/plant (in our example, company code 00 01). The equipment is the provider of the servic e (creditor). The account assignment object for the recipient (in accordance with recipient type), for example WBS element or cost center has been assigned to company code/business area (in our example, company c ode 00 02). The usage site is the debtor. a. Determining the sales area for the provider of the servic e (creditor) ETM Settlement proceeds as follows: The organizational data for the equipment and therefore its assignment to a company code/business area/plant is determined from the provider of the serv ice = equip ment. Then the sales area for the equipm ent is defined in Customizing for ETM under Gl obal Settings ® Sales Area p er Company Code/Business Area/Plant . The system then also generates the SD order in this sales area. In our example, this would be company c ode 00 01 which is equivalent to sales organization 00 01/distribution channel 01/division 01. b. Determining the sales area for the debtor The appropriate sales area is determined from the account assignment object for the debtor = usage site. In our example, this would be company c ode 00 02 which is equivalent to sales organization 00 02/diistribution channel 02/division 02. c. Determining the cus tomer (internal settlement) A debtor (bill-to party and payer) is defined for sales organization 00 02 in Customizing for ETM under Global Settings ® Customer Internal Settlement per Sales Organization in ETM . This deb tor is used for the outbound invoice form company c ode 00 01. This “customer internal settlement”, for example debtor 111, must have b een created in sales area 0 00 1/01/01.

( Equipment and Tools Management (ETM) ® Op erations and Functions ® Settlement ® EDI Settlement ). Mess age condition type J3G O is deliv ered with the sys tem. As is usuall y the case with condition technique, you have to create a condition record for this condition type and a customer (internal settlement), for example debtor 111.

You also have to define message determination for cancellations in accordance with the billing documents. Partner profiles You have to define which message type you want the system to use for both the customer (debtor) and the vendor (creditor). The system uses the following partner types : KU = customerLI = vendor a. Settings for the customer For example, for debtor 111 that has b een created in company c ode 00 01 and represents company code 000 2: Output/message control Partner number 111 Application V3 Partner type KU Output/message type J3G0 Partner function RE Output/message category INVOIC Output/message v ariant CEM Process c ode /SAPCEM/INVO IC_OUTPUT Outbound parameters Recipient type, for example, external sys tem IDoc basic type /SAPCEM/INVOIC

Forwarding inbound data to the vendor (creditor) The debtor from one company code (for example, company code 0001 and debtor number 111) is converted for the other company code (for example, company code 0002 and vendor 500002). For further information on this subject, please see the appropriate documentation in the SAP Implementation Guide (IMG). d. S etting posting parameters You must define a tax type (for example, A1) and the tax rate that the EDI partner can transfer (from the providing company code 0001) using control indicators. You define the posting key and the document type in the program parameters. Here you can decide whether you want posting to take place directly or by means of a batch input s ession.

Posting by means of a batch input sess ion.

Result An outbound invoice has b een created in company code 000 1 and an inbound invoice has been created in company c ode 0002.

SD Orders . 2. The Input ETM Sales Orders with Job Split in R/3 SD screen appears.

The system fills the Settlement date field with a value corresp onding to the last settlement date from Customizing, the Max. no. of items per order field with a default value of 10 and the No. of jobs to be s tarted field with a default value of 10. If more than one batch job is to be run, you should enter the number in the No. of jobs to be started field. If you process parts of data in parallel, y ou can minimize the total run time dramatically. You can change the default values. 3. Enter the appropria te values. If you enter a document number as well as a ship -to party and company code, the system ignores the document number. A warning appears. If you select your data using the document number, you must remove/not enter a ship-to party or company code. Confirm the warning and continue processing. 4. The selec tion buttons program start as test run or as update run control whether it is a test or update settlement run.

You should always run a Test without orders before you run an update run. You can settle materials and equipment separately if you have not selected using the ship-to party or the company code. 5. Set either Yes or No for Orders sorted by G R . If you select Yes, only items from a goods recipi ent are created per automatically generated SD order (can be used for example by work cooperatives). If you select No the standard ETM order generation occurs. This means that each order item can be a different goods recipient. 6. By entering a value for Number of Orders per Commit Work you can determine the number of order headers per commit work. In the cas e of an incorrect settlement this saves you time because you only have to run the incorrect orders again.


Page 73 of 84

7. Choose Execute. If you have not performed or not completed a location setup, a dialog box appears informing you of this. If this is the case, execute a Location Setup and repeat the SD settlement procedure.

If a sp lit job in settlement is terminated you can process the remaining data to be proces sed by using restart (transaction SE38 ® Program J_3G INVC_RESCUE ). Enter the same selection criteria in the input fields as in the original settlement start (pay sp ecial attention to Update run / Test run .

Result SD orders have been generated. You can now process these SD orders. You can find further information on this subject under Changing and Displaying SD Orders. After completing the SD order generation you have to perform a postprocessing run to update the status ( Logistics

® Equipment and Tools Management

® Transaction Data ® Settlement ® SD Orders ® Postprocess Input ) If during the first postprocessing run the system does not update all statuses (for example because of a lock by another user) you have to trigger another run.

Release 4.6C2 has an improved settlement lock concept. Double-start of the update run is not possible. The required lock is set at the start of the program and released at the end. The lock remains during program termination. In this case to unlock the run you have to use program J _3GINVC_RESCUE (transaction SE38 ®Program J_3GINVC_RESCUE )

!--a11y-->

1.2.4.4.5 ETM Test Settlement Run Definition The ETM test settlement run process the data completely and carries out all the checks. The only difference from the update run is that the appropriate status is not set in the documents included in the run. The system writes all the errors it finds into a Settlement Log. This settlement run log is displayed when the appropriate program is started after the run has finished. The sys tem makes a c opy of this log and archives it so you can disp lay it at any time.

Use You can use the ETM test settlement run to simulate SD settlement and therefore minimize errors in each monthly settlement.

You can set up the retention period of settlement logs in Customizing ( Logistics – General ® Equipment and Tools Management (ETM) ® Op erations and Functions ® Settlement ® Settlement Basic D ata ® Retention Period for SD Order Log Ob jects ).

The default setting for the retention period of logs for test

runs is 50 days, for all other logs 500 days. Log deletion is not automatic, you must delete logs using transaction SGL2 . An annual reorganization is recommended. You can also delete logs before the end of the retention period (parameter entry in transaction SLG2).

!--a11y-->

1.2.4.4.9 Input Postprocessing Use If you have created SD orders with restrictions on document number, recipient or company code, the system automatically starts a postprocessing run. Postprocessing assigns an appropriate status to the shipping and PBE documents so that no changes can be made to them after they have been included in the settlement run and so that they cannot be settled again. A check in view J_3GKONZAB (basic settlement date) determines that you cannot make any further changes to this settlement date until postprocessing has been completed. If you generated SD orders without any restrictions, you have to start the postprocessing run manually from the menu. You must have performed this run before the next settlement run takes place!

Prerequisites Settlement and all other preparations must have been completed.

Procedure 1. On the initial screen choose Logistics ® Equipment and Tools Management ® Transaction Data. (The ETM – Transaction Data screen appears.) 2. Choose Settlement ® SD Orders ® Postprocess Input . 3 . Select Refresh data . 4. Choose Execute .

1.2.5 ETM Inventory Purpose ETM inventory is used in the area of equipment rental. It is based upon recipient-oriented key-date inventory, similar to that used in the Materials Management (MM) module. However, materials are not included in inventory, only equipment (equipment items and multipart equipment). Materials can be included in inventory b y using the standard R/3 Sys tem.

Prerequisites You should not enter any more shipping documents after the stock lists have been generated.

Process Flow Part 1 · Determine quantity · Print stock list A stock list without any quantities entered is distributed to the usage sites. The stock c ontroller or person responsible on the usage site enters the quantities in the list. · Create, change and display initial entry of stock balances After the stock has been counted, the result has to be entered in the sys tem. Items (equipment and small parts) that are not listed in the stock lis t can also be included. The items must be marked with the appropriate indicator.

Part 2 · Check entry of stock b alances ¡ Counted stock without equipment number ¡ Counted stock with equipment number

Part 3 · Generate stock differences · Values for stock differences · Reset generated stock differences You can use this function to reset inventory completely. · Write off differences for multip art equipment You can only write off the differences for multipart equipment using this function. Equipment items are ignored.

You have to use Asset Accounting (AA) in the Financial Accounting (FI) module to deal with equipment items.

Result You have corrected the stock for multipart equipment.

!--a11y-->

1.2.5.1 Editing the Stock List Use The stock list lists all equipment that has been sent to a usage site or recipient by a certain key date, and therefore should still theoretically be on the usage site. In practice a printout of the stock list serves as a reference for the physical equipment count. The person in charge of inventory or the responsible employee counts the equipment that is physically available on the usage site and enters this quantity in writing on the inventory form.

Prerequisites Before executing the report for the stock list you have maintained the following data: · Global Settings in Customizing for ETM under O perations and Functions ® Inventory ® Global Settings . · Valid Administrator in Customizing for ETM under O perations and Functions ® Inventory
