Automatically Trigger Work Orders in SAP based on Specific Targets

Question:

Is it possible to trigger a maintenance work order or preventive maintenance plan in SAP based on reaching a specific target number? For instance, when a daily reading of pressure differential on a dust collector fluctuates, can a work order be automatically generated once it reaches a predetermined high or low value for filter replacement?

Utilize SAP's condition-based measuring points to achieve this. Set up measuring points and define range parameters for alarm thresholds. To automate notification generation, the user exit IMRC0001 must be implemented. Warm regards, Tehsin.

Thank you so much, I will definitely give that a shot. I'm excited to test it out.

Indeed, it's possible to automate work orders in SAP based on specific triggers like the examples you've mentioned. You can use the Measurement Point and Measurement Document features in SAP PM module to track pressure changes and other parameters. Once these reach your set limit, the system can generate a preventive maintenance order. It is about properly configuring your PM module to automatically respond to your equipment's real-time data. However, it requires a good understanding of SAP and potentially collaboration with an IT team or a SAP consultant to set up.

Definitely! SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) can absolutely help trigger a work order based on specific criteria. To give a specific example, using Measurement Points, you can record readings such as the pressure differential you mentioned, and then link this to a Performance-Based Maintenance Plan. If the readings exceed certain predefined values, SAP will initiate a work order automatically. It's a dynamic way of managing predictive and preventive maintenance; the key lies in the initial setup and properly defining your thresholds.
