We are in the process of capacity planning for Maintenance Orders within the SAP PM module using the planning board. However, we are missing a crucial component - a daily and weekly schedule report displaying each individual's schedule. Currently, there is no established procedure to create a custom report. We are searching for a standard report within SAP that can generate daily and weekly schedules for individuals. Thank you for your assistance!
Optimize your workflow by organizing orders under each Maintenance Planning Group with specific daily or weekly dates. Once listed, select the relevant orders and navigate to the Planning board with the appropriate profile. Transform your process for better efficiency.
SAP has recently launched a innovative solution known as Multi Resource Scheduling (MRS), which offers seamless scheduling capabilities for managing workloads and personnel availability. Integrated with GIS and Mobile Asset Management, this tool is compatible with R/3 enterprise release and higher versions. This technology simplifies workload management and resource allocation, providing a comprehensive overview of tasks and personnel availability.

Originally created as a customer service tool, the MRS solution was designed to efficiently allocate resources. Unlike traditional project management systems, which prioritize completing work orders by a specific deadline and assigning individuals to tasks, MRS focuses on spreading out tasks among available personnel. This subtle distinction sets MRS apart from other scheduling methods.
Hello Josh and Tim, we have not yet integrated this recent development into our systems, so I do not have actual screenshots from our live system. I did receive some screen captures during discussions with colleagues, so please use them as general guidelines. Tim is correct in identifying the importance of Customer Service tools, especially in the context of R3 where Customer Service and Plant Maintenance are closely connected. Exploring the connection between these two areas could be a topic for further discussion. However, I believe that MRS offers some valuable features that can be beneficial in Plant Maintenance scenarios. It provides insights into the amount of work assigned, completed, and still pending, as well as managing tools effectively - whether they need planning or sourcing from vendors. Regards.
While there might not be a standard report within SAP to produce daily and weekly schedules specifically for individuals, you could consider using SAP Query or QuickViewer. These could be utilized to design a personalized report according to the unique needs of your project. Engaging a skilled ABAP developer could also be beneficial in developing a custom report for you. Another useful option could be exploring third-party add-on tools out there which help to produce custom reports. Remember, the core idea is to make the best use of your existing SAP system. Keep experimenting until you find what fits best.
I've faced a similar issue before, and unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, there isn't a standard SAP report that provides such detailed individual schedules. What worked for me was using SAP's Query tool to create a custom report. It gives you flexibility while structuring fields and pulling data. However, if you're trying to avoid custom solutions, you could consider engaging your functional team or check if there's a third-party add-on tool that integrates with SAP PM to provide this functionality. Never forget, it’s always about finding the shortest path to your desired outcome.
Have you checked out the 'PM Order Schedule' report or the 'CM07 - Capacity Planning' transaction? These can provide insights into scheduled maintenance orders per individual. While they might not be exactly what you're looking for, you can customize them a bit to get a closer fit to your needs. Additionally, collaborating with your SAP support team could help you explore if there's a way to pull that data into SAP Queries or even develop a new custom report if necessary. Good luck!
Have you checked out the transaction codes like IW38 or IW39? They allow you to display maintenance orders and can be filtered by individual resources, which might help in creating a daily or weekly schedule overview. If you need something more tailored, consider using reports from the SAP standard reports under the PM module like S_ALR_87013612, which gives insights into order management and can possibly be adjusted to suit your scheduling needs. Also, engaging with your SAP support team might uncover some hidden gems in standard reports!

Answer: Unfortunately, there is no standard report within SAP PM module that generates daily and weekly schedules for individuals. However, custom reports can be created to address this need.
Answer: To create a custom daily and weekly schedule report, you may need to develop a bespoke solution tailored to your specific requirements. This can involve leveraging SAP's reporting tools or consulting with SAP experts for guidance.
Answer: The key steps may include defining the scope and requirements of the report, identifying relevant data sources, designing the report layout, implementing necessary calculations or filters, and testing the report for accuracy and usability.
