Plant Maintenance – Issue of Non-Stock Item

1 – Create Order
We might need some items for a Maintenance order for which no stock is kept.
So these are non-stock items and are only procured only when they are needed,
and are consumed immediately.
Take example of the BOM we created before.
IH03 will display the structure of the cube, where we have an equipment, which
has a number of materials as components.
Create a Maintenance order = IW31
Order Type = PM02
Equipment = equipment form the BOM
Plan Plant = 1000
Press Enter

Description =to repair the equipment

Mn Work Centre = work centre
Operations Tab:
Add the operation and its time / duration etc

Components Tab:
As we need to change / replace some component, and for the purpose of this
exercise we are considering this item to be non-stock item. The component
could be readily available in the mkt or it could be a part which rarely needs
replacement so no stock is kept.
Component = give the component needed, and the qty

Press Enter
System asks for Item Category (this defines if the item is a stock or a non-stock
item).
Item Category = N (non-stock)
Release the order to update the plan cost.

Save the Order # 820032, this should generate a requirement (Purchase

Requisition should be created)

2 – Stock Requirement List

Stock Req List = MD04, this will show the requirement with the Order Number.
In IW32 also we should be able to see the same,
So go to the Order in IW32, components tab, select the component line and
click on Purchasing Data. This will also show the PR (purchase requisition).

PR now needs to be converted into PO, or we can create a PO directly with the
PR
3 – Convert PR to PO
PO Create = ME21N
On the item line enter the PR number in Purchase Req column, and press enter.

SAP will copy the data from PR to the PO, Now complete the PO with the
Vendor number etc.

And save the PO

4 – Process Goods Receipt
Process GR for PO via MIGO

The component will be directly consumed to the PM Order, and stock quantity
will not change.
Display the order in IW32 and check the costs, the actual cost for the
component will now be posted.
Process as per normal to confirm the order in IW41, and the remaining
processes of technical completion, variance posting, settlement and business
completion.
