Hello Josh & Other Experts in SAP-PM
I am posting the same query as the original one for this thread. This query was posted in SMRP on Linkedin and i wanted to see what would be the opinion of the SAP-PM experts here.
" How do you code the maintenance type in SAP for backlog work orders for breakdown jobs?
There was an interesting discussion to our maintenance team on how to use the correct maintenance type code for WO's, i.e, PM01, 02... My understanding is that PM01 is for reactive work that normally due to an equipment failure, and the job is normally unplanned in your weekly maintenance schedule. But someone asked what if the the job, although it is for certain failure of equipment, was put into backlog as it's not bringing the plant down immediately. Then it becomes a planable job. But if it's coded as PM04 - preventative maintenance, it doesn't sound right, and you will lose the track of the failure event on this equipment what you would do a search of failure history by PM01. So what is the right code for it? "
Regards
Vinay
