Operation Split In SAP PM

Company want to use the functionality of operation split in SAP PM and assign the personal numbers (integration with HR-work centers) to each split to capture the people names. Also can I schedule the work at the person level instead of work center.

Suggestion:

You can split an operation into sub-operations. You can create sub operations at Operation overview screen of main operation.

Insert the "Main operation number" again at Operation field and give the "new number" for Sub operation number at SOp.field.

Steps are as follows:

1. Create the operation as usual (say 0010)

2. In the next line again give the main operation number & in the Sub operation column i.e. column next to operation i.e. in Sop. enter the sub operation no. you want i.e. say 0002.

The moment you enter Sub operation no. and press enter; system will prompt you to enter time for activities and finally it is created.

You will observe that whenever there is a sub operation; there is no check box under sub operation where as in 0010 you can see that check box (Column before Base Qty). Also you click on that Sub operations and can see the details within it.

Regarding scheduling the work at person level, you need to assign the work/operation to person.

Assign the Work, Duration & number to operation in your Maintenance Order and save the order. Now, open the order, then select the operation & go to Internal tab. Then you will find then the requirements Assignments Tab where you can assign the individual personnel with each work hours and schedule the same.

And take care if you want to assign personal numbers to Work centers, to do it on the correct level.  You need to go to the details of the capacity first and than assign your personal numbers.
 
 

Quantity Splitting in Operation 

Suppose we have PRODUCTION ORDER for material A for 10 pc in which operation are:
10-Turning
20-Plating
30-Deliver to Store

Now, we want to perform operation 10 on two work center w1 and w2 each for 5 pc of A.  Now how I can do this in SAP as we cannot confirm operation 10 two times for two work center. So we need a way through which we can confirm 5 pc of A on work center W1 and 5 pc of A on work center W2 for operation 10. Total for INPUT FROM OPERATION 10 TO operation 20 is 10 pc.

Suggestion:

You need a Parallel sequence with :

Seq0 Op10 Work Center A, 

Seq1 Op10 Work Center B, Reference Seq. 0, Branch Op10, Return Operation10.

So in Operation 10, you have 2 process running parallel.

To control the quantity, you may need to modify your BOM example:

BOM For Material X = Component Y required 10pcs

Split 10 pcs into 5 each in BOM as below.

Item 0010 Component Y  5 pcs, in routing assign to Seq0, Op10

Item 0011 Component Y  5 pcs, in routing assign to Seq1, Op10
