ETM - Equipment and Tools Management

PurposeEquipment and Tools Management (ETM) deals with issues that secure an optimal process flow in enterprise areas of (construction) companies or equipmentrental companies, and so on, in aspects such as planning, processing, settlement and evaluation of resources (materials and equipment).

IntegrationIf you want to use ETM, you must have the application components Sales and Distribution (SD), Plant Maintenance (PM), Financial Accounting (FI) andControlling (CO). To make full use of the integrative nature of the SAP R/3 System, it is also advisable to use the application components Asset Accounting (AA)and Project System (PS).

Features· Representation of various catalogs containing equipment, machinery, tools, accessories and attachments and so on· Catalog BOMs (bills of material)· Shipping and settlement packages· Relationships between owners and administrators of equipment· Shipping and performance-based equipment (PBE) documents· Settlement calendar· Filler calendar for PBE· Time-based or performance-based settlement· Inventory management· Equipment planning· Evaluations and reporting functions (settlement lists, statements of usage, stock lists for construction sites and so on)

The following documentation uses almost always the term “Equipment and Tools Management” or the abbreviation “ETM”. However, note that theprevious term “Construction Equipment Management” (CEM), which was valid to Release 4.6C2, may still appear in this documentation.Futhermore, as of SAP ECC DIMP 5.0, the character J, which was previously used in ETM tables and programs, has been replaced by thecharacter 4. For more information, see SAP Note 731876.

1.1.1 ETM Catalog

DefinitionAn ETM catalog is a structured, hierarchical list of different types of machinery (for example, equipment, machines and vehicles) and is based on the SAPstandard Classification System. Every ETM catalog is assigned to a Class within a Class Type. This means that all the numbers in the catalog are alsoassigned to this class or class type. The characteristics used in characteristic value assignment are assigned to the class.

UseBefore you can reference to an ETM catalog, it must have been defined in Customizing for ETM. ETM catalogs can be specific to a company, region or countryand form the basis for pricing in settlement accounting. By assigning bills of material (BOMs) to equipment, you can link to the ETM catalog, and therefore also tocatalog valuation.

There are the following hierarchy levels in the “Baugeräteliste 1991” or “BGL 91” (German equipment rental compilation or construction equipment specificationslist):

Structure

2 Main equipment group Lifting appliances and transportation equipment

21 Equipment sub-group Cranes and attachments

2176 Equipment category Diesel-hydraulic driven two-engine rubber-mounted craneswith steel-latticed boom

2176-0165 Equipment type Diesel-hydraulic driven two-engine rubber-mounted craneswith steel-latticed boom, maximum load moment 165tm

2176-0154-01 Attachments Booms for cranes etc.

2176-0154-C1 Extras Non-interchangeable equipment items such as diesel orgasoline engines

Data TransferEvery catalog has to be purchased from the appropriate publisher as a compact disc (CD) or as discs. ETM has a batch-input session.

We recommend that equipment be entered in separate lots according to main group. In this way, you can check and control the data transfer moreeasily. You can use the Procedure for the Construction Equipment Catalog when you import data from the list of construction accessories, materialand tools (for example, the construction equipment list or “Bauaustattungsliste (BAL)” in Germany).

ETM catalogs are client-dependent. This means that you can import a different catalog into each different client in the same system. If you want touse the same catalog in more than one client, you have to define in which logical system the original catalog is stored. You can do this underCreating a Catalog.

IntegrationCatalog entries can be entered in ETM BOMs. They then form the valuation basis for settlement accounting. New catalog entries can also be interpolated directlyin the catalog.

Importing Catalogs (from Release 4.6C2 Inclusive)

PrerequisitesTo directly input a catalog a catalog must be defined in the IMG activity Define catalog code .

Catalogs with value assignment characteristics must exist in the catalog class with the associated characteristics and the class or class type must be entered inthe above-mentioned Customizing activity.

The data can be provided by a suitable tool such as EXCEL (for example, in the case of your own catalogs) or by a data preparation program (report/SAPCEM/INPUT_BGL91 for data from BGL91, report /SAPCEM/INPUT_BAL90 for data from BAL90).

A file must exist for data transfer and it must have the following attributes:· The data is saved in ASCII format and separated by the tabulator in a record (*.txt).· There are three data types in a data record:

#1 Catalog data#2 Text data#3 Characteristic data

· You must specify data type #1, the others are optional. Within the data type structures the optional data is highlighted· Data type #1: One entry exists per data record with the following structure

#1Structure / catalog numberInterpolation indicator (empty = interpolation, ‘X’ = no interpolation)

· Data type #2: Any number of entries with the following structure can exist per data record#2Language indicator (for example D for German, E for English)Catalog textBOM text, only for ETM BOM catalogs

· In the case of the catalog text this is the descriptive text assigned to the number in the catalog in the catalog structure display· In the case of BOM text this is an abbreviated number-in-catalog description that is visible from within the BOM· For the actual catalog structure only the catalog text has to be defined It is not necessary to define a catalog structure for a catalog, however it helps for clarity· When converting BGL91 the catalog text for catalog entries is either copied from the provided text file or, if not available, from the BOM text· In the case of your own ETM BOM catalog you should define catalog entries, catalog text, and BOM text. Entry of a text after the language indicator is viewed

as catalog text, subsequent text entry is BOM text.· Data type #3: Any number of entries with the following structure can exist per data record

#3Characteristic nameCharacteristic value

ProcedureChoose Tools ® ABAP Workbench ® Development ® ABAP Editor from the R/3 initial screen.

The ABAP Editor: Initial Screen appears.In the Program field enter /SAPCEM/INPUT_BAL90, /SAPCEM/INPUT_BGL91 or /SAPCEM/CATALOGUE_INPUT.Execute the program.

The Copy Data from Catalog Input screen appears.Enter the catalog code and the file path on which the data for import is held. Choose an activity mode or copy type ( I = Insert, M = Modify ).

If you set the Test run indicator, the system performs a data test and returns data errors or data information if successful. If you do not set thisindicator the data is updated.

Choose Execute.

1.1.2 ETM Bill of Material (BOM)

DefinitionAn ETM bill of material (BOM) is a list of parts (for example, machines, equipment, interchangeable items and attachments) that, together with a description andquantity, forms the ETM Equipment. The parts are referred to as items. Each item has a value. The cumulated values of the items form the equipment valuation(value assignment for the equipment).

UseAny amount of ETM BOMs can be assigned to a piece of ETM equipment. However, there can only ever be one active ETM BOM per ETM Catalog. The valueassignment for the active BOM is the total of all the individual BOM items and forms the basis for ETM Settlement. ETM BOMs are time-dependent. In otherwords, you can trace which BOM was active with which value when the settlement run took place.

1.1.2.1 Creating a BOM

PrerequisitesYou must know the following before you can create an ETM BOM:

· for which equipment master record you want to create the BOM and whether this equipment master record already exists.· for which ETM Catalog you want to create the BOM.· as of when you want the ETM BOM to be valid.

ProcedureOn the initial screen choose Logistics ® Equipment and Tools Management ® Master Data ® Catalogs ® Bill of Material ® Create .The Create ETM BOM: Initial Screen appears.Enter an equipment number and the appropriate catalog and choose the number in the catalog from the catalog structure.You can display the catalog entry by double clicking on it.Select the entry and choose Choose entry to copy the catalog entry to the entry screen.Enter the date as of which you want the BOM to be valid in the Valid from field. The date cannot be before the date in the EquiSgmnts from field.

The catalog number that you have chosen is automatically copied as the first item in the BOM.Enter all the additional items that you want the equipment to consist of.If a catalog number does not exist, a dialog box will appear and you will have to decide whether you would like to add this number to the catalog or whether you

want to interpolate. How the system reacts depends on the Customizing settings for the indicators Only ctlg value and Ctlg maint. blk in ETM ® MasterData ® Catalogs ® Define Catalog Code .Choose No ( Interpolation ) if you want this number to be interpolated for this BOM only. If interpolation is not possible you must perform manualclassification.Choose Yes if you want to add this number to the catalog. You branch to transaction J3GK01 (Create Number in Catalog).

Enter a structure text and a BOM text and select No interpolation if the equipment has more than one technical size or when you are dealing with a special pieceof equipment.

Choose Value assignment to branch to a view for entering characteristic value assignments.Enter the appropriate values.Choose Back and save your entries.Choose Execute.

The system writes a default value into the fields for the quantity and the description/short text. If necessary, you can change these values.Choose Save and activate .

If an active ETM BOM already exists, a dialog box appears. If you wish, you can then deactivate the active BOM. If you save (without activating), this dialogbox does not appear.

You cannot activate BOMs with items or a Valid from date in the future.

1.1.2.4 Interpolation

UseInterpolation offers you the possibility of referencing to an equipment number in an ETM BOM or in an ETM Catalog when this number does not actually exist, assuch, in the ETM catalog. The interpolated catalog values are derived from the catalog items situated above and below the equipment number you wish to


Page 13 of 84

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_dimp50/helpdata/en/fd/2f13a238bf11d5be4300105ab0387c/content.htm



interpolate and are used to calculate values for the new items.

You have two options as far as interpolation is concerned. One the one hand, you can interpolate when you enter the ETM BOM. This interpolation is then onlyvalid for this one BOM. On the other hand, you can interpolate an entry directly in the ETM catalog. This makes a permanent change to the ETM catalog. You canalso use interpolation to change existing catalog values.

You can only interpolate if the ETM catalog item that is to be interpolated lies between two existing adjacent equipment sizes (technical statistics). The averagevalue when new, monthly repair costs and monthly depreciation and interest rate can then be determined with sufficient exactness.

PrerequisitesThe number logic for the numbers in the catalog has to be subject to encoding.

Example of Interpolation

Existing catalog number A.1.02.0760

Catalog number Characteristic

A.1.02.0760 Average value when new € 108.500,00

Monthly depreciation and interest, lower value € 2,170.00

Monthly repair costs € 1,410.00

Interpolated catalog number A.1.02.0800


A.1.02.0800 Average value when new € 116,200



Existing catalog number A.1.02.0910


A.1.02.0910 Average value when new € 136,500.00



Example With Two Interpolations

Existing catalog numbers




Interpolation 1 for catalog number A.1.02.0800

(Calculation formula: Difference of € 28,000.00 x 40/150 + € 108,500.00 = Average value when new of € 116,000.00)





Interpolation 2 for catalog number A.1.02.0850

(Calculation formula: Difference of € 20,500.00 x 50/110 + € 116,000.00 = Average value when new of € 150,000.00)





Interpolation takes place if an equipment lies between two technical sizes. Extrapolation must take place if the technical size of an equipment is

max. 20% below the smallest or above the largest technical size. If the variances are larger, you have to manually enter the value.

1.1.3 ETM Equipment

DefinitionETM equipment encompasses objects such as vehicles, equipment, machinery, scaffolding, shuttering and tools that have to be sent and managed. Theseobjects can belong to all branches of industry.

Engineering, construction, aircraft and road traffic objects and so on.

UseEquipment can be classified as Performance-Based Equipment or Time-Based Equipment.

Generally speaking, pieces of equipment that are expensive and managed in asset accounting are defined and managed as equipment items.Bulk products and less expensive equipment are defined and managed as multipart equipment. Once defined, you should not try to alter theabove-mentioned definitions for equipment since any changes that you make may have a negative effect on ETM Settlement (multipart equipmentà equipment item).

Create an equipment master record if:· you want to add equipment to stock for the first time.· you want to manage ETM-specific data for the equipment.

You can perform the following activities for equipment:· send it directly from a warehouse/storage location to a usage site (construction site). This is referred to as an acquisition.· send it from usage site to usage site.· change the activity type of the equipment (equipment remains on the same usage site).· withdraw the equipment from usage (retirement). You may want to do this, for example, if the equipment is sold, if the rental agreement has expired or if the

equipment is scrapped.The commissioning time of equipment at one usage site is documented using Shipping and Performance-Based Equipment Documents.

StructureThe equipment master record contains several types of data:

· General dataFixed, time-independent data that tends not to change with time, for example, equipment category or equipment type.

· ETM-Specific DataTime-dependent data that can change throughout the period of time that the equipment is in use, for example, owner or administrator, the PM order (that actsas cost collector or account assignment object for the equipment).If you want the historical data to be updated, you have to make the appropriate Customizing settings in the SAP Implementation Guide under PlantMaintenance and Customer Service ® Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service ® Technical Objects ® Equipment ® EquipmentUsage Period ® Usage History Update and Define History-Related Fields or under Plant Maintenance ® Equipment and Technical Objects ® Technical Objects ® Equipment ® Equipment Usage Period ® Usage history update and Define history-relevant fields .

· Assignment of ETM BOMs.· Assignment of Insurance Data.· Assignment of Packages.· Assignment to Planning using classification.· Storage of master operators (partner roles).

IntegrationIf you want to be able to create equipment, the Owner/Administrator and the Owner/Administrator Relationship must have been defined in Customizing. If theowner and the administrator are the same, you do not need to define a relationship.

You can use workflows to minimize the amount of time and effort you have to spend on maintaining equipment master data. For more information, see thedocumentation in Customizing for ETM under Master Data ® Workflow Integration FI-AA ETM .

For further information on equipment in the standard R/3 System, see Equipment.

1.1.3.7 Package


Page 19 of 84

DefinitionA Shipping Package is a list of Equipment and/or materials.

A Settlement Package is a list of equipment that is always sent and settled in its entirety. Amongst other things, it serves to allocate costs to different equipment(objects).

Structure

Structure of a Shipping Package

Equipment = shipping package (header can be either “physical”/”real” equipment or “fictitious” equipment). Shipping package items can only be physicalequipment and materials.

Structure of a Settlement Package

Equipment = settlement package (header can only be “physical”/”real” equipment).

Settlement package items can only be physical equipment. They are not relevant in the shipping document. However, they are relevant in ETM Settlement.

A box (equipment number 1000152) is sent to a usage site with a shipping document. The box contains, for example, 10 lengths of cable, 100screws and so on (a pre-determined number of each object). Inventory management uses the settlement package header (1000152).

Prerequisites· All the equipment and materials that you want to use must have been created as master records.· You must have set the equipment item/multipart equipment indicator.· A shipping package can be a settlement package and vice versa.· A shipping package item cannot be a settlement package.· A settlement package item cannot be a shipping package.· You cannot enter any other shipping package as an item in the shipping package items.· You cannot enter any other settlement package as an item in the settlement package items.· Equipment that you want to enter on item level in a shipping or settlement package must be physical equipment.

IntegrationPackages are assigned to equipment. Equipment can either be in the form of a shipping package or a settlement package. The assignment of the ETM BOM tothe appropriate equipment is not affected. In other words, if you want to settle costs using an equipment catalog, a BOM has to have been assigned to each pieceof equipment to be included in settlement.

!--a11y-->

1.1.3.7.1 Shipping Package

UseA shipping package is an aid to entering documents (please see: Document Entry).

A minibus is driven to a usage site with a box containing several small equipment items (a shovel, two buckets, five floor cloths etc.). The box

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_dimp50/helpdata/en/36/dc4e1178ac11d2b434006094b9e959/content.htm

and its contents are entered in the system and sent together as one shipping package.

IntegrationYou can integrate a Settlement Package into a shipping package. However, you cannot integrate a shipping package into another shipping package. Bothphysical equipment and materials are allowed.

Prerequisites· If you are dealing with materials, the material type must have been defined as allowed in Customizing.· Equipment must have been defined as allowed for shipping documents. You make this setting in the field for allowed document categories in the equipment

master record.· The shipping package number can represent physical equipment or fictitious equipment.· Shipping package items can only be physical equipment.· You cannot enter the shipping package number (equipment) itself as an item (in contrast to the settlement package).

If the Copy shipping document indicator is set accordingly, you may be required to choose the equipment to be included in the shipping documentfrom a list when you try to enter equipment in the shipping document. If you so wish, you can also set the Copy ship. doc. indicator so that thisselection list does not appear.

FeaturesWhen you enter shipping documents, the shipping package is split up into its individual items and the quantity of each item in the shipping package is multipliedby the number of shipping documents. In this way, inventory management is also performed. If the shipping package number represents physical/realequipment, the shipping package number is copied to the shipping document. If the shipping package number represents fictitious equipment, the shippingpackage number is not copied to the shipping document.

Example 1Equipment number 10000760, description Hydraulic Excavator , Fictitious indicator is not set, equipment item

Shipping package 10000760 contains:

1.1.3.7.2 Settlement Package

Use· Cost assignment for multipart equipment. In other words, controls whether the costs for equipment are assigned to different administrators (PM order

administrators) as a percentage or proportionally (using equivalence numbers).· Separates inventory management from settlement.· Manages stock under one equipment number (settlement package number). The package is separated into its individual items during Settlement.· Fixed prices can be used.· Can be used when stock changes are made

IntegrationYou cannot integrate a shipping package into a settlement package. Nor can you integrate a settlement package into a settlement package. You can only use“physical”/”real” equipment (as opposed to “fictitious” equipment). Materials are not allowed.

Prerequisites· The settlement package number must represent physical equipment.· The equipment must have been defined as allowed for shipping documents or performance-based equipment documents. You make this setting in the field for

allowed document categories in the equipment master record.· Inventory management only takes place on package number level and not on item level.· You can also enter the settlement package number (equipment number) as an item.

Equipment number 10000754. This is a settlement package consisting of a finisher, shovel X and shovel Y. It is an equipment item and theFictitious indicator has not been set.

Settlement package contains:

Item Equipment Equipmentdescription

Qty UM Percent Equivalence number

1.1.4 Owner/Administrator

DefinitionThe owner is the owner of an equipment. The owner manages the equipment in plant financial accounting and is responsible for depreciation of the equipment.

The administrator manages (for example, rents, repairs and maintains) the equipment on behalf of the owner. In return for being allowed to rent the owner’sequipment and therefore collect and receive revenue form the rental to external third parties, the administrator has to pay the owner a leasing charge. This can bea static/fixed amount or a dynamic amount (for example, a percentage of the revenue from the rental).

UseDepending on the ownership relationship, you have to create an Owner, an Administrator or an Owner/Administrator master record. You then have to assign thismaster record to the appropriate equipment.

!--a11y-->

1.1.4.1 Owner/Administrator Relationship

DefinitionBy an owner/administrator relationship we mean the relationship that the owner of the equipment has to the administrator of this same equipment. The owner canalso be the administrator.

UseThe owner/administrator relationship determines which leasing type applies to the administrator (for example, whether the administrator has to pay the owner afixed amount, a percentage of the rental revenue or whether there is no leasing charge at all) and which objects (equipment, machinery) the administrator isallowed to manage for the owner.

You can define the owner/administrator relationship in Customizing for ETM. If the owner and administrator are the same, you do not need to establish arelationship. If this is the case, the default entry in the owner/administrator master record is for no leasing.

!--a11y-->

1.1.4.2 Creating an Owner/Administrator

PrerequisitesYou must know the following before you can create an owner, an administrator or an owner/administrator:

· whether the owner is also the administrator of the equipment· for which company code you want to create the owner and/or administrator· whether you want the equipment to be managed centrally or decentrally.

1.1.5 Recipient

DefinitionThe recipient is a central control element in ETM. In addition to standard views, there are two ETM views where ETM basic data and ETM settlement data for therecipient can be stored.

The term “recipient” is used as an umbrella term to cover a variety of roles in ETKM. You should not understand this term to mean merely a “recipient” in theconventional sense of the word. The recipient can be the ship-to party, but also the sender of equipment (since to be able to send the equipment, even the sendermust have received the equipment, in other words, been the recipient of the equipment at some point in time).

UseEither the sender or the Ship-To Party or the sender and the ship-to party must be entered in the Shipping Document. This, however, depends on whether you aredealing with an acquisition (only the recipient is entered and the sender field remains empty), a retirement (only the sender is entered and the recipient fieldremains empty), a change of activity type (the sender and the recipient are the same) or shipping (from one usage site to the next).

If equipment is sent from a warehouse or storage location (usage site) to a construction site (usage site), then the warehouse/storage location is thesender and the usage site is the ship-to party (recipient).


Page 27 of 84



IntegrationThe customer master record has been enhanced by ETM-specific views. Control parameters such as recipient type and reference type define which type ofrecipient (recipient type) you are dealing with or which account assignment object is used in Settlement and postings to FI/CO (reference type). Which companycode a recipient belongs to depends on which company code the appropriate account assignment object (for example, WBS element, project definition, costcenter, CO order or PM order) has been created in.

For further information, see: Customer Master Data.

!--a11y-->

1.1.5.1 Creating a Recipient

PrerequisitesBefore you can create a recipient, you must know the following:

for which sales area (sales organization/distribution channel/division) you want to create the recipient.to which account group you want to assign the recipient (necessary for internal/external number assignment).which recipient type you are dealing with (for example, warehouse/storage location, internal usage site or external third party, and so on)whether the account assignment object has already been created as an object.to which grouping (dummy recipient, and so on) you want to assign the recipient.

ProcedureOn the initial screen choose Logistics ® Equipment and Tools Management ® Master Data ® Master Data ® Recipient ® Change .

The Create Customer: Initial Screen appears.Enter a sales organization, distribution channel and division.

Choose Customer’s sales areas... to find out which sales areas (combination of sales organization, distribution channel and division) the recipient has alreadybeen created for. If you want to display all the sales areas for a specific client, choose All sales areas...

Assign an account group to the recipient.A number range is assigned to the account group in Customizing. This number range can be either internal or external. If external number assignment hasbeen set in Customizing, enter the number here. If internal number assignment has been set in Customizing, a placeholder is displayed instead of thenumber. An internal number then replaces this placeholder when you save the master record.

ETM provides account group J3G. The account group is the same for each recipient. You cannot enter a different account group for each differentsales area (sales organization/distribution channel/division). For further information, see: Account Group.

If you want to create a recipient without copying from a reference template, go to 8.If you want to create a recipient by copying from a reference template, enter the customer number you want to copy from in the Customer field in the Reference

area of the screen.If you want to copy a recipient that has been created in a different sales area (sales organization/distribution channel/division), enter the customer with the sales

organization/distribution channel/division that you want to copy in the Reference area of the screen. Enter the new sales organization/distributionchannel/division and recipient in the upper part of the screen and choose Enter .The system copies the account group of the recipient being copied to the new recipient.

You only see the sales views that have been entered in Customizing for Financial Accounting under Accounts Receivable and AccountsPayable ® Customer Accounts ® Master Records ® Preparations for Creating Customer Master Records ® Define Account Groups withScreen Layout (Customers) .

7. Enter the different sales data as required.8. Choose Enter .A screen for entering address details appears. Make all the necessary entries on this screen and the standard views that follow.

Enter the Recipient Type in the ETM - Basic Data view.The Reference Type field contains an entry in accordance with the settings in Customizing. You cannot change the reference type here. If you flag theBlckIndDocEntry field (block indicator against document entry), you can prevent this recipient from being entered in documents. This is recommended if you

are dealing with dummy recipients (recipients of reference type Dummy ).If required, change the default dummy or standard recipient.

From an ETM point of view, the Cust.int.set. (customer internal settlement) is the actual sold-to party that appears in the order header duringinternal settlement. The customer (internal settlement) is necessary purely from a sales and distribution point of view. It has no relevance in ETMsince the providing party and debited object (for example, equipment and WBS element) are relevant to postings in FI/CO during settlement.

Enter a planning area.Enter an account assignment object. The account assignment object must have already been created before you can reference to it.Choose Execute.Enter the appropriate Indicators in the ETM - Settlement view.Save the master record.

A message confirming that the recipient master record has been created for the sales organization/distribution channel/division appears at the bottom of thescreen.

1.2.1.3 Deadline Logic

DefinitionA collection of rules to improve equipment planning.

A simplified deadline logic has been developed in ETM with the support of the German work cooperative (edition 1995). The processes that are controlled by thisare specific to Germany and may not be relevant for other countries.Using deadline logic enables improved equipment planning. “Penalty mechanisms” enable costing and planning of equipment shipment scheduling.

UseDeadline logic is only active if

· it is a time-based equipment· the equipment is sent with a shipping document· the movements are category receipt, issue, change of activity type, or shipping

The construction industry differentiates between restricted and unrestricted usage. In unrestricted usage as a rule it is not known how long an equipment willremain on a usage site. “Short” unrestricted usage exists where the equipment remains for example up to 30 days on a usage site as does “long” unrestrictedusage where equipment may remain for years on a usage site. The minimum usage duration in ETM corresponds to restricted usage. In restricted usage it isassumed that it is known how long an equipment will be used.

IntegrationThe Settlement indicator (either by recipient, or dummy or standard recipient) and the Deadline logic indicator must be set in the recipient master.

If settlement recognition is set to Dummy or Standard recipient (dummy) and the settlement recognition and deadline indicator is set in thisdummy, the deadline logic is valid for all recipients to which this dummy is assigned.

!--a11y-->

1.2.1.3.1 Deadline Logic (Indicator)

DefinitionAn indicator in the recipient master record.

UseThis indicator is used in planning and controls per recipient that time-based equipment (TBE) is treated according to deadline logic in settlement.

This has no effect on performance-based equipment (PBE). Materials are excluded from deadline logic.


Page 35 of 84


IntegrationThe Deadline logic indicator in the recipient master record does not control deadline logic in settlement alone. You also have to make ETM-specific Customizingsettings under Logistics - General ® Equipment and Tools Management (ETM) ® Operations and Functions ® Settlement ® Settlement Basic Data ® Usage Period ® Deadlines per Transaction Type and Activity Type and Assign Activity Types to Deadline Surcharges .

ExampleA usage site manager requests an equipment from October 5th to November 2nd (restricted). The construction yard delivers the equipment to the usage site. If theequipment is not returned or released on November 2nd the usage site is charged. Released means the same as returned except that the equipment remains onthe usage site and is sent from there to the next usage site that requires it. This reduces transport costs that would arise because of return transports to theconstruction yard.

!--a11y-->

Release Notification Limit for Unrestricted Usage

DefinitionA field in the recipient master record.

UseFor unrestricted usage of time-based equipment (TBE) you can determine the number of days in advance that a release notification is required before shipping. Ifthis date is exceeded and shipping takes place without a prior release notification a Surcharge for Unrestricted Usage is raised in settlement (in the form ofadditional SD order items) according to the deadline logic.

ExampleA crane is on a usage site from April 5th (there is no end date). From May 20th the site manager states the crane is no longer required; this means a releasenotification exists for this usage site from 04.20. However from an administrative point of view the site manager must notify (release notification) theadministrator/planner 10 days in advance (that is on May 10th) that the crane will be returned on 05.20., therefore allowing the planner to consider it again inplanning.

Settlement result: The crane has activity type In operation from 04.05. – 05.20.

!--a11y-->

Minimum Usage Period for Restricted Usage


UseThis field determines the minimum number of days that a time-based equipment (TBE) is in use per recipient. If the equipment is shipped prematurely to adifferent activity type or usage location the full number of days till deadline is settled. This option from deadline logic is usually recommended if you know inadvance how long the equipment is required. This is usually necessary to obtain a base for planning.

PrerequisitesThe settlement indicator and deadline logic indicator are set in the recipient master. The deadline logic 1 (minimum usage period) has been set for the combination document type, movement type, and activity number in the Customizing settingsfor ETM under Logistics - General ® Equipment and Tools Management (ETM) ® Operations and Functions ® Settlement ® Settlement Basic Data ®Usage Period Deadlines per Transaction Type and Activity Type .

Example 1Minimum usage period: 16 days

A crane is shipped to usage site A on January 1st and removed on January 10th. According to the shipping document 10 days plus a surcharge of 6 days (total 16days) are settled on usage site A.


Page 36 of 84

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_dimp50/helpdata/en/58/436216192d11d5be2100105ab0387c/content.htm

However if the crane exceeds the minimum usage period on the usage site the restricted usage changes to an unrestricted usage and the Release NotificationLimit for Unrestricted Usage, and therefore the associated rules, come into effect.

Example 2The usage site manager ships the crane to usage site B on January 18th without prior release notification. The release notification limit for unrestricted usage is fivedays (RelNotAllUnrUsg field in recipient master) and the surcharge for unrestricted usage is 3 days (SrchrgeUnrstUse field in recipient master). The usage sitemanager has not met the release notification limit of five days, therefore 18 days plus three days surcharge (total 21 days) is settled.

!--a11y-->

1.2.1.3.4 Surcharge for Unrestricted Usage


UseThis field specifies the number of days per recipient that can be charged as a surcharge for unrestricted usage if a deadline in the deadline logic is exceeded.

IntegrationThis field is integrated with the field Release Notification Limit for Unrestricted Usage.

1.2.2 Document Entry

UseETM distinguishes between two categories of document:

· Shipping Document· Performance-based equipment document

Shipping Document

You can send equipment, material or packages with a Shipping Document. There are the following document types:· Acquisition (for example, when equipment is purchased, leased or rented)· Change of activity type (for example, change of activity type from "in operation" to "downtime". The equipment remains on the same usage site).· Shipping from usage site A to usage site B· Retirement (for example, when equipment is sold, scrapped or when the rental agreement comes to an end)· Inventory or inventory adjustment postings

Performance-based equipment document

You can enter and store the number of hours that equipment has been in operation on a usage site in the Performance-Based Equipment Document. There is thefollowing document type that can be copied any number of times:

· Machine/operator’s report

Prerequisites· Only physical equipment and materials are allowed.· The equipment must have been assigned to an equipment type.· The equipment must be allowed in document entry.· The document type must have been defined.· The recipient (ship-to party) must have been created in the appropriate sales area.

1.2.2.1 ETM Document Entry - Terminology

UseSome of the terms that are important in ETM are listed and explained below.

Recipient Master Record

Internal ship-to party

Usage site to which equipment is sent.

Internal construction site in an enterprise

Ship-to party (joint venture)

A joint venture is, from the point of view of a construction enterprise, for example, also an internal construction site to which equipment and materials are sent.However, you must also enter an external sold-to party in the recipient (customer) master record. The external sold-to party is required for customer settlementpurposes.

External sold-to party

Customer or debtor that is used externally for customer settlement.

Customer internal settlement (internal sold-to party)

From an ETM point of view, customer internal settlement represents the internal sold-to party that appears in the order header during internal settlement. Thecustomer (internal settlement) is necessary purely from a sales and distribution point of view (it represents the bill-to party and the payer). It has no relevancewithin a company code in ETM since the providing party or the debited party (for example, equipment and WBS element) is relevant to postings in FI/COduring settlement.

However, the customer (internal settlement) plays an important role in operations across different company codes. See: Example: Settlement Across DifferentCompany Codes for further information on this subject.

Control Parameters in the Recipient Master Record

Recipient type

The recipient type is a central control element in ETM. Different recipients can be grouped together to form a recipient type. You use the recipient type to assign areference type, and therefore also an account assignment object, to the recipient. This enables you to make postings to FI/CO.

Reference type

The reference type controls which account assignment object (for example, WBS element, project definition, CO order, cost center, PM order) is used forsettlement purposes and for postings to FI/CO.

Settlement indicator

This indicator controls whether ETM basic data and settlement data for the appropriate recipient, standard recipient or dummy recipient is used in settlement. (3-level hierarchical access)

Standard recipient and dummy recipient

These are fictitious recipients; their ETM settlement data is valid for a group of recipients during ETM settlement. This entails less maintenance when you want tochange the control parameters. You only need to make the changes in the master record of the fictitious recipient (standard recipient or dummy recipient) and thechanges will take effect for all recipients in the group as of the next settlement run. (See “Settlement indicator” above for further information).

Settlement type

The settlement type determines how the recipient is settled. Together with the Calendar ID , the Complete month and the No. days/month indicators in the ETMsettlement data of the recipient master record, it forms an important factor in long-standing determination of settlement data. There are the following settlement typesfor long-standing data determination: 1. Complete months + remaining calendar days 2. Complete months + remaining working days 3. Calendar days 4. Working daysIf you want to use method 1 or 3 (calendar days), you have to enter the number of calendar days per month (for example, 30) that you want the system to use asa basis for its calculations. If you want to use method 2 or 4 (working days), you have to enter the number of working days per month (for example, 20) that youwant the system to use as a basis for its calculations.

In addition to the number of calendar or working days per month, you must also set the Complete month indicator to 1 or 2 for settlement types for which a


Page 38 of 84

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_dimp50/helpdata/en/3c/90c7a735cf11d3b4e4006094b9e959/content.htm

complete month is relevant.

If the settlement type is 3, the system determines the actual number of calendar days. All other statistics, including the Calendar ID indicator, have no effect onthe calculation.

If the settlement type is 4, the system determines the number of working days by using the factory calendar ( Calendar ID indicator). All other statistics have noeffect on the calculation.

Normal case: internal construction sitesTo fulfill German requirements (commissioning month = 30 calendar days = 170 commissioning hours), you must make the following settings.These settings will vary from country to country. (Also valid for February):Settlement type = 1 (complete month + remaining calendar days) and Complete month indicator = 2 (whole month is encompassed),Days/month = 30 (calendar days), Hours/month = 170.

Special case: joint venturesIf equipment is in operation on a usage site from Oct. 1st until Oct. 31st, then according to the contract, 31 days should be included in settlementand if equipment is in operation on a usage site from Nov. 1st until Nov. 30th then 30 days should be accounted for in settlement. Therecommended settlement type in this case would be Calendar days .

Retirement date for time-based equipment

If this indicator is set (in ETM settlement data in the recipient master record), the retirement date is included in the settlement of time-based equipment.

The retirement date is the actual date on which the physical shipping of the equipment from one usage site to the next takes place. If the activity type is changedseveral times after the equipment has been sent to a usage site, the last day of the last activity type before the ETM settlement run is not regarded as theretirement date from this usage site. This day is settled normally, in other words in accordance with the equipment activity and settlement type and the availableshipping and PBE documents.

Acquisition date for time-based equipment

This date always counts when the commissioning period is calculated and is therefore always included in settlement. There is no special indicator in the recipientmaster record.

Retirement date for performance-based equipment (PBE)

This indicator determines whether the retirement date is included for performance-based equipment when you use the Filler Calendar for Performance-BasedEquipment function, in other words whether hours are automatically generated for the retirement date. The hours are only generated if at least one unit of activity (forexample, one hour) has been entered with a PBE document within the whole period of time. If no PBE document has been entered in the period of time, theequipment activity is calculated in accordance with the shipping document (special case).

Use

This indicator is only of importance for internal settlement and only when the filler calendar for PBE takes effect. If you have set the RetireDate/PBE indicator inthe recipient master record, then the system generates a PBE document for the equipment on its retirement date when you execute the filler calendar function.

Only the actual units of activity (without hours that have been generated by the filler calendar) are included in external settlement for external sold-to parties. Youcannot control this by using Customizing settings.

PBE documents that have been entered manually are always included in settlement. The RetireDate/PBE indicator does not exclude PBEdocuments that have been entered from settlement.

Acquisition date for performance-based equipment (PBE)

See: “Retirement date for performance-based equipment”.

PBE as TBE

If you set this indicator in the recipient master record, equipment that has been defined as performance-based equipment (Customizing for Equipment and ToolsManagement (ETM) under Operations and Functions ® Stock Check for Equipment ® Stock Check per Equi. Type for Performance-Based Equi. ) istreated as time-based equipment in settlement for this recipient. This means that the equipment is not settled on the basis of the PBE document, but on thebasis of the shipping documents. You can find further information on this subject under Settlement PBE as TBE.

Equipment Master Record

Time-based equipment

Equipment that has been defined as time-based, for example a crane, is usually commissioned for a specific length of time on a specific usage site. This periodof time is always settled in days for time-based equipment. The shipping document is used as basis for settlement for time-based equipment. The PBE documentis not taken into account for time-based equipment. If it were, settlement would take place twice – once using the shipping document and once using the PBEdocument. Time-based equipment can be an equipment item or multipart equipment.

For further information, see Settlement of Time-Based Equipment.

Performance-based equipment

Equipment that has been defined as performance-based, for example an excavator, is usually settled in hours on the basis of the PBE document. Theperformance-based equipment document is used as basis for settlement for performance-based equipment. If no PBE document has been created for thecomplete commissioning period, the shipping document is used as a basis for settlement. PBE is usually expensive equipment and managed in stock as anequipment item. To keep the equipment costs as comprehensive as possible, it is usually a good idea to create a separate PM order administrator (cost collector)

for each equipment item.

Due to contractual agreements, PBE must sometimes be settled using the shipping document for specific ship-to parties (for example, joint ventures). If youwant to represent this case in the system, you must set the PBE as TBE indicator in the recipient master record. You can find further information on this subjectin the section PBE as TBE

and under Settlement of Performance-Based Equipment.

Stock check for performance-based equipment

A check takes place to determine whether the equipment type that has been defined for the equipment (in Customizing) is relevant to the stock check or not.

The Price group (material group) indicator in the equipment master record is only relevant to pricing.

Equipment item

You can find further information under “Performance-based equipment”. An equipment item is usually defined as performance-based equipment but can alsobe time-based equipment.

Multipart equipment

Equipment such as drilling machines, grinders, scaffolding and shuttering that do not have their own inventory number. You cannot define multipart equipment asperformance-based.

Document Entry

Activity and settlement type (AS type)

There are different activity and settlement types, for example, in operation, downtime, available for use. An activity type does not have to be a settlement type andvice versa.

Condition techniques and the pricing procedure in SD determine which condition types are used in settlement. For example, you can define that rental and repaircosts are due when equipment is in operation, only rent has to be paid when the equipment has been assigned the activity type “downtime” and there are no extracosts at all when the equipment is available for use.

Equipment is in operation on a usage site for five days (activity type: “in operation”). For two of these five days, the activity type of the equipmentis changed to “downtime” because no work was done on the usage site on these two days.Result in settlement: The usage site is charged for 3 days in operation (for these three days the usage site has to pay rental and repair costs) and2 days downtime (for these two days the usage site only has to pay rental charges).

For further information, see: Settlement of Delivery and Activity.

Acquisition

We use the term acquisition when equipment is entered in the company stock for the first time, for example after it has been bought, leased or rented. You cansend equipment directly to a usage site without having to first send it to the contractor’s yard, warehouse or storage location.

Retirement

We use the term retirement when equipment is sold, scrapped or returned to an external rental service. The physical “retirement” of equipment when it is sentfrom one usage site to another usage site is not referred to as retirement but as shipping.

Shipping

All equipment, irrespective of whether it is performance-based or time-based, is usually sent from one usage site to another usage site by means of a shippingdocument (historical inventory management). In this case, building contractor’s yards and storage locations are also regarded as usage sites from whichequipment can be sent.

Change of activity type

We use the term change of activity type to represent the case when the activity and settlement type of equipment on a usage site is changed as of a specific datebut the equipment itself remains on the same site.

On 10.01. shipment of an equipment to usage site A with activity type Usage . From 11.14. the activity type changes from Usage to Available ,on 11.20. the equipment again has activity type Usage , on 11.30. the settlement runs. The equipment is removed from usage site A on 12.15.The commissioning time for this equipment on usage site A is hereby ended.

If the activity type is changed several times after the equipment has been sent to a usage site, the last day of the last activity type before the ETMsettlement run is not regarded as the retirement date from this usage site. This day is settled normally, in other words in accordance with theequipment activity and settlement type and the available shipping and PBE documents. We only use the term retirement date when theequipment is physically sent from one usage site to the next.

ETM Settlement

Commissioning time

The commissioning time, or commissioning period, covers the time from the start of the usage period until the end of the usage period or until the settlement date ifthe equipment is still in use on the settlement date. It is of no importance how often the activity type for the equipment has been changed in this time.

1.2.2.3.1 Creating a Shipping Document

PrerequisitesYou must know the following if you want to create a shipping document:

· which type of document you want to create (acquisition, retirement, change of activity type, shipping or inventory document)

ProcedureOn the initial screen choose Logistics ® Construction Equipment Management ® Transaction Data ® Documents ® Shipping Documents ® Change or

enter transaction J3GI.The Create Shipping Document: Initial Screen appears.

Enter a document type.

The document type in (settings in Customizing) controls which resources you can enter in the shipping document. The screen layout for theshipping document (settings in Customizing) determines which fields are displayed and which are hidden in the document, which fields arerequired entry fields and which are optional.

Choose Enter .Enter an external document number.

If you do not enter an external document number in this field, the system saves the internal document number as the external document number.

Enter a document date. This date must be later than the valid-from date of the equipment you want to enter.Enter a sender and/or a recipient in accordance with the document type. Depending on whether you are dealing with an acquisition, shipping, a change of activity

type or a retirement, you must enter a sender and/or a recipient.Enter your desired equipment or material on item level. Enter a quantity and an activity type for each item. You do not have to enter a quantity for equipment items.

The system automatically enters the value 1.

You can only enter materials for which a material type has been defined in Customizing. Because of the link to Materials Management (MM),during shipping if the sender and/or recipient has reference type Warehouse the system posts a material document when you save the shippingdocument.

You can transfer equipment that has been planned from the requisition note to the shipping document by choosing Requirements . This only applies torequirement items that have the status Confirmed .The status changes to reflect the fact that shipping has taken place when you transfer a requirements item. If you then delete this item from the shippingdocument, the status in the requisition note returns to Confirmed and the item is displayed for this recipient again the next time you want to transfer confirmedrequirements.You can find further information on this subject under Changing and Displaying the Requirements Overview.

At present, the system does not perform a stock check to determine whether the equipment really is on the sending site.

Using function Clear usage site a list of equipment and material belonging to the sender appears. In this list you can change the quantity and the activity typeand copy them to the shipping document.

Using Header <->Item you can navigate between header and item data, for example if you want to change the document date, recipient, or so on.Save your shipping document after you have entered all the items.

A message confirming that the data for the shipping document/shipping document number has been saved appears at the bottom of the screen.

1.2.2.3.9 Shipping of Materials

UseYou can use a shipping document to send not only equipment but also materials.

IntegrationThere is always a link to Inventory Management if either the sender or the recipient in the shipping document is of reference type “warehouse/storage location”.

If you use a shipping document to send material to a warehouse (for example, acquisition of 26 items of material 4711), then as far as inventorymanagement is concerned, this means an acquisition of 26 items in ETM as well as 26 items in MM.You can branch to the material document by double-clicking on it in the shipping document.

If you post both equipment and materials in the same shipping document and you then discover that you did not want to post the material and youcancel it, the equipment is also cancelled.

1.2.2.3.10 Inventory Management

UseWe distinguish between inventory management for equipment and inventory management for materials. You can define on different levels whether you wantinventory management to take place (for example, on document level, on recipient level, on equipment level or on material level) and which type of inventorymanagement you want to take place. There are two types of inventory management:

· Chronological inventory management, without missing parts/shortfall quantities: you must enter the shipping documents in chronological order. This means thatyou cannot enter a shipping document to send equipment or material from usage site A (sender) to usage site B (recipient) until the equipment or materialreally is available (in stock) on usage site A (sender).

· Chaotic inventory management, with missing parts/shortfall quantities: you can enter a shipping document for equipment/material without it previously havingbeen posted to the site you want to send it from. You can post the acquisition document for the sending site at a later date. For more information, see StockControl.

PrerequisitesYou must have made the appropriate settings in Customizing for ETM.

Activities

Making settings for equipment inventory management

You can control the inventory management type for equipment on three levels in the following sequence:· Document category· Recipient type· Equipment type

If you want to use chaotic inventory management for specific equipment, you must ensure that you have set chaotic inventory management on all of thesethree levels. If you do not do this, the system uses the inventory management type and chaotic inventory management is not the first in the set sequence ofinventory management types in the system.

Example 1Inventory management for document category “shipping document” = chaoticInventory management for recipient type “internal usage site” = chronologicalInventory management for equipment type 2000 = chaotic (setting no longer necessary)Result: inventory management would be chronological for equipment of equipment type 2000 and recipient of recipient type “internal usage site”.

Example 2Inventory management for document category “shipping document” = chaoticInventory management for recipient type “warehouse” = no inventory managementInventory management for equipment type 2000 = chaotic (setting no longer necessary)Result: no inventory management takes place for all recipients of recipient type “warehouse”.

Making settings for material inventory management

You can control the inventory management type for materials on two levels in the following sequence:· Document category· Material type/recipient type

If you want to use chaotic inventory management for specific materials, you must ensure that you have set chaotic inventory management on both of theselevels. If you do not do this, the system uses the inventory management type and chaotic inventory management is not the first in the set sequence ofinventory management types in the system.

Inventory management for document category “shipping document” = chaoticInventory management for material type “non-consumable materials”/recipient type “internal usage site” = chaoticResult: inventory management would be chaotic.

1.2.2.3.11 Intermediate Recipient

DefinitionPhysical material deliveries from one usage site to another (onward delivery) require a “warehouse/storage location” in the system as a type of intermediaterecipient. This “warehouse” is known as the “intermediate recipient”.

UseIf materials are shipped from usage site to usage site, the warehouse, or intermediate recipient, must first purchase back the materials and then resell them to thenext usage site. The Intermediate Recipient adopts the double role of the warehouse to which the sending usage site would return the materials and fromwhich the receiving usage site would receive these materials.

The intermediate recipient must have reference type “warehouse”. For more information about the intermediate recipient, see the appropriate chapters in the IMGunder:

· Define Document Types· Intermediate Recipient per Organizational Structure· Intermediate Recipient Indicator for Material Shipping

IntegrationThe system checks the Intermediate Recipient when you create a shipping document (see: Creating a Shipping Document) if the resource “material” has beendefined in the document type.

You can define an intermediate recipient per company code, business area and plant in Customizing. This intermediate recipient appears as default entry whenyou enter a shipping document but you change it in accordance with your Customizing setting.

1.2.3.2 Filler Calendar for PBE


Page 54 of 84



UseThe PBE filler calendar generates missing PBE documents or completes existing PBE documents that are incomplete. In praxis it is used as a type of controllingmechanism or “educational measure”.

The construction workers/the construction site manager has forgotten to enter PBE documents for excavator A on 04.04. The excavator was beingrepaired on this date, however the missing 8 hours for the 04.04. are nevertheless still filled and settled with activity and settlement type “inoperation” as defined in the filler calendar for PBE.

IntegrationPBE documents that are then taken into account in the Generation of SD Orders are generated by the following function:

· Filling Performance-Based Equipment Documents

Prerequisites· At least one unit of activity must have been entered manually for the equipment in the commissioning period.· If you want to be able to complete/fill PBE documents, you must have defined a separate document type for which the Generate hours indicator has been

set. (Customizing for Equipment and Tools Management (ETM) under Operations and Functions ® Document Types ® Define Document Types andAssign Activity Types per Document Type ).

· You must have defined for which activity type you want missing daily documents to be created or existing documents to be completed. You can do this inCustomizing for Equipment and Tools Management (ETM) under Operations and Functions ® Settlement ® Filler Calendar for Performance-BasedEquipment ® Maintain Filler Calendar for Performance-Based Equipment .

FeaturesYou can define, on different levels and for each activity type, the maximum number of hours that the system creates or fills with which activity type if there aregaps in the documents.

The PBE filler calendar is only relevant to performance-based equipment.

ActivityYou can find further information under Creating a Filler Calendar for Performance-Based Equipment.

1.2.4 ETM Settlement

PurposeWhen talking about ETM settlement, we are referring to automatic SD Order Generation including its determination of the appropriate condition types for theindividual activity and settlement types per usage site and then subsequent billing and updating in FI/CO.

ETM settlement automates the complex internal and external creation of SD documents. SD orders are generated on the basis of existing shipping and PBEdocuments. It does not make any difference whether the objects are in the same company code or in different company codes. The system converts the shippingdocuments and PBE documents into SD orders. These SD orders can then be billed.

You can settle equipment according to commissioning (corresponding to the date of the shipping document and using exact days) or according to activity(corresponding to the performance-based equipment document and using exact hours). Usually (old logic) you determine the settlement type that you use(commissioning only, activity only, both, neither) using the indicator Stock check per equipment type for performance-based equipment in Customizing for ETM,and the indicator PBE or TBE in the recipient master record of the recipient for settlement. (Settle PBE as per TBE) controlled in the recipient master record ofthe settlement-relevant recipient.

The new settlement logic derives the settlement type from two indicators in the equipment master record (by commissioning, by activity) and the above-mentionedindicator in the recipient master record. The system settles shipping documents if the indicator Settlement by commissioning is set in the equipment master. Thesystem settles performance-based equipment documents (PBE documents) if the indicator Settlement by activity is set in the equipment master and theindicator Settl PBE as TBE is not set in the recipient master.

In Customizing for ETM under Operations and Functions ® Settlement ® Settlement Basic Data ® New Logic SD Settlement PBE as TBE you can set theindicator of the same name if you want to execute settlement according to the new logic.

PrerequisitesShipping Documents and PBE Documents must exist.

Process FlowIn praxis, a central body (depending on authorization group) usually starts the settlement run a few days after the end of the month since it is presumed that all theshipping documents and PBE documents have been entered in the system by then. You should execute these functions connected with settlement in the followingorder:

· Location Setup· Completion of PBE Documents· Check Recipient· Generating SD Orders· Postprocess Input· Check SD Orders· Settlement List

ResultThe system has generated internal and external SD orders.

1.2.4.1 Stock Control

UseThis is a function that finds missing shipping documents or incorrect stock data and displays this information in a table with colors to ease comprehension. It isonly sensible to use the stock control function for chaotic inventory management. You should perform a stock control before you execute the Location Setup.

ActivitiesIf the stock control function finds incorrect documents, you have to correct the errors before you continue. You must repeat the above step until you have correctedall the errors. The last run should be an update run.

!--a11y-->

1.2.4.1.1 Performing a Stock Control

Procedure 1. On the initial screen choose Logistics ® Equipment and Tools Management ® Transaction Data ® Settlement ® Stock Control.

The Stock Control screen appears. 2. You can make appropriate restrictions using the recipient, equipment or materials. 3. Choose Execute.

ResultThe system displays a hit list. You can change this list by choosing Settings ® Display variant ® Current... .

!--a11y-->

1.2.4.2 Location Setup

UseThis function is used in conjunction with chaotic Inventory Management. It enables you to keep the correct chronological order of shipping documents for equipment(equipment items and multipart equipment) and materials.

IntegrationIf chaotic inventory management is being used, you must have executed a complete location setup before SD orders can be generated in ETM Settlement. Thisensures that the documents from chaotic inventory management are transferred to historical stock from where they can then be included in settlement.

Only authorized persons should execute a location setup since the location setup changes the status of the shipping documents definitively. You can no longermake any more changes to the shipping documents after location setup has been executed.

PrerequisitesIncorrect stock chains must have been corrected using the Stock Control function. You must correct any stock errors for equipment items before you can execute alocation setup. As far as multipart equipment and materials are concerned, it is advisable to correct any errors before executing a location setup.

You should correct missing parts and shortfall quantities for multipart equipment and materials manually at regular intervals.

ActivitiesExecute the location setup directly or in the background. Background processing has the following advantages:

· Incorrect stock chains are transferred to historical stock and saved automatically.· The system displays incorrect stock at the end of the location setup and you can then correct these errors.

!--a11y-->

1.2.4.2.1 Executing a Location Setup

Procedure 1. On the initial screen choose Logistics ® Equipment and Tools Management ® Transaction Data ® Settlement ® Location Setup. 2. Select your data using the restrictions for date, recipient (only for multipart equipment and materials), equipment and materials or execute a complete location

setup before ETM settlement. 3. Choose Program ® Execute in background .


Page 57 of 84




If you want to run an update run, remove the Test run indicator. If you only want to display the error log (and not a list of stock) set the indicatorOnly display error log . If you set the indicator Negative stock allowed the system allows negative stock for multipart equipment and material in

the location. To avoid problems during settlement do not set this indicator. The system does not consider negative stock during settlement. 4. Choose Execute. 5. The system displays a list containing all the data for your selection. 6. Save the location setup. 7. Correct erroneous entries and execute the location setup again. Repeat this procedure until you have corrected all the errors. 8. Save the location setup.

ResultYou have created historical stock that can be taken into account in settlement.

!--a11y-->

1.2.4.3 Completion of PBE Documents

UseThe filler calendar for performance-based equipment allows you to do the following for internal activity settlement:

· Create a performance-based equipment (PBE) document for missing days (days that have not been accounted for at all) and fill these days with, for example,the activity and settlement type “in operation”.

· Complete reports for days on which a PBE document exists but has not been fully maintained (in other words, fill gaps in the report up to a maximum numberof hours per day).

IntegrationYou can make Customizing settings to determine whether the Settlement Calendar or the Performance-Based Equipment Calendar takes precedence in SDsettlement.

Prerequisites· In the appropriate recipient master record, you must have defined whether you want missing PBE documents to be created and/or existing ones to be

completed· Whether you want the acquisition date and the retirement date for PBE to be taken into account when hours are generated (taking the presumptions below into

account)· You must know the location of the performance-based equipment via the shipping documents (historical stock)· You can only create or complete hours for periods of time for which at least one PBE document has been entered manually.· The equipment type for the performance-based equipment must be relevant to stock checks.

FeaturesCreates a separate document type for generated PBE documents from the filler calendar for PBE.

Before the monthly settlement run for PBE takes place, the system displays in color the periods of time on usage sites where no equipment activity in the form ofPBE documents has been entered. You should pay particular attention to the retirement date at the submitting usage site and the acquisition date at the receivingusage site.

The following presumptions have been made:· The standard case accounts for a constant (daily) change of PBE. This means that the system does not generate any hours on the retirement date (for

example, retirement date for sending usage site is 02.22.). Presumption is that a PBE document will be entered for the receiving party on the acquisition date(02.22.).

· If neither the sending party nor the receiving party enter a PBE document, PBE documents are generated with the activity type “in operation” for both parties.· In the case of onward delivery (usage site to usage site), it is presumed that hours will not be generated by the other party if at least one PBE document has

been entered on either the retirement date (submitting usage site) or the acquisition date (receiving usage site).

!--a11y-->

1.2.4.3.1 Filling PBE Documents

Prerequisites· PBE documents that have been entered manually· Entries must have been made in the calendar (see: Creating a Filler Calendar for Performance-Based Equipment).· The indicator for filling PBE documents must have been set in the recipient master record.


Page 58 of 84




Procedure 1. On the initial screen choose Logistics ® Equipment and Tools Management ® Transaction Data ® Settlement ® Fill PBE Documents.

The Fill PBE Documents screen appears. 2. Enter the document type that has been defined specially for the PBE filler calendar. 3. Enter the appropriate sales area (sales organization, distribution channel, division) and the settlement period. 4. Choose Execute.

A screen displaying the commissioning time for the equipment (according to the shipping document) on the usage site appears. There may be the followingentries:

¡ Location record with PBE documents exists¡ Location record without PBE documents exists

5. Fill the document using Edit ® Create/Enhance PBE Documents (F5) or using function Create/Enhance PBE Documents (F5). The display changes. Thefollowing key appears:

¡ Do not create/complete, PBE document exists¡ Do not create/complete, no PBE document exists¡ Missing daily documents are created¡ Existing daily documents are completed

6. Save the PBE documents.

ResultYou have created and/or completed PBE documents.

Settings:Period Feb. 1st until Feb. 29th has been defined with create/complete up to 8 hours incl. (but no hours should be generated at the weekend or onpublic holidays). Complete hours with the activity and settlement type “downtime” and create hours with the activity and settlement type “inoperation”.In the recipient master record of usage sites 100050 and 100004 the PBE Documents are set to Create (1) and Enhance (2). This indicatorwill only take effect if the stock check for PBE has been set in Customizing.A stock check has been defined for equipment type 2000, for example. This means that you must enter a shipping document before a PBEdocument can be entered.The retirement date PBE ( RetireDate/PBE ) and acquisition date PBE ( Acq. dte counts ) indicators have been set for recipient 100050 and100004, in other words, these dates will be taken into account when the PBE calendar is filled.

1.2.4.4 SD Order Generation

UseThis function automatically transfers all shipping documents and PBE documents up to a freely definable date (settlement date) to SD orders (customer-specificconditions are taken into account).

PrerequisitesYou have entered all the shipping documents and PBE documents for the defined period of time. The settlement run that is triggered when you run the programultimately ends a settlement period to such an extent that you can no longer create or change the affected shipping and PBE documents in retrospect (becausethe document status is changed).

· The system does not generate SD order items for retirement documents. The system assigns a retirement status to retirement documents.· Only documents for which the activity type has been defined as relevant to settlement in Customizing are taken into account.

FeaturesETM settlement makes all the necessary checks on recipient and equipment master data, including a check to determine whether the equipment activity type is


Page 64 of 84

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_dimp50/helpdata/en/ec/51a4aa16a111d4b580006094b9c9be/content.htm

also a settlement type. The system generates SD orders from shipping documents and PBE documents (taking the settlement calendar into account).

When you start the program, the system checks whether it is dealing with dependent or independent equipment and generates different batch jobs in thebackground according to this criterion.

Dependent equipment refers to equipment for which there can be both shipping documents and PBE documents for a recipient in the same period of time.(Equipment type is relevant to stock check.) Independent equipment refers to equipment for which there can only be shipping documents. (Equipment type isirrelevant to stock check).

RecommendationYou should perform an ETM Test Settlement Run and correct any outstanding errors before you start an update run.

ActivitiesInclude all the documents in settlement or select the data you wish to include via the document number, ship-to party or company code.

You can distinguish between SD orders that are generated automatically and those that are created in dialog. The system assigns a number for each updatesettlement run that is generated automatically. This number is entered as the order number for the generated SD order. The order date is the date of the settlementrun. For each item in the SD order, you can also find the original document and item numbers for the shipping document or PBE document.

ResultGenerated SD orders.

!--a11y-->

Settlement of Activity and Delivery

PurposeThe amount of activity that is performed is settled for equipment. Delivery and return delivery is settled for materials.

The system generates documents and postings automatically during ETM settlement of equipment activity and material deliveries. This ensures that ETM massdata can be processed successfully.

Organizational structures in ETM are determined in accordance with (1) the providing party (equipment) and settings for the PM order administrator, for example,and (2) the account assignment object to be debited in the recipient master record. (You can make posting rule settings in Customizing to determine this).

Process FlowThe system separates settlement of activity and delivery automatically into internal cost settlement and external customer settlement (joint ventures) duringthe ETM settlement run.

Since ETM uses a providing and debited party as a base for calculations, additional posting rules have been defined that control debiting and crediting of theaccount assignment objects for each party. If required, these posting rules can be automatically redirected (per condition type) to account assignment objects (forexample, collective cost center) other than those that have been defined in the equipment master record and in the recipient/customer master record. For furtherinformation on this subject, please see the appropriate documentation in the Implementation Guide (IMG).

Price determination for settlement purposes usually takes place using equipment specification catalogs. However, it can also be based on price lists and pricesthat have been entered directly in the equipment master record.

ResultGenerated SD orders.

!--a11y-->

Settlement of Time-Based Equipment

PrerequisitesThe basis for settlement of time-based equipment is:

· the shipping document (acquisition documents, shipping documents, changes of activity type and retirement documents)· the appropriate activity and settlement type (AS type), for example, “in operation”, “available for use”, “downtime”· the Settlement Type in the Recipient Master Record


Page 65 of 84

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_dimp50/helpdata/en/fd/7432737a1911d2b437006094b9e959/content.htm


· the commissioning time in days, the factory calendar and the number of days per month in the recipient master record· the Catalog (a type of equipment specifications list) for pricing purposes

The system checks the following:· whether the equipment type of the equipment (in Customizing) is relevant to stock checks· which recipient master record is used for settlement (3-level hierarchy)

Example

Presumption 1:

Equipment 4711 has been defined as an equipment item with equipment type 2000 in the equipment master record.

Settings in Customizing for ETM:· Under Equipment and Tools Management (ETM) ® Operations and Functions ® Stock Check for Equipment ® Inventory Management per Equipment

Type for Shipping Documents , the indicator ( InvM indicator) has been set for chronological inventory management.· Under Equipment and Tools Management (ETM) ® Operations and Functions ® Stock Check for Equipment ® Stock Check per Equipment Type for

Performance Based Equipment , the indicator ( InvM indicator) has been set for chronological inventory management.Settlement type: complete month and remaining calendar days

Days/month: 30 days

Case study 1:

Equipment (for example, a crane) is sent to usage site A with a shipping document on Oct. 15th. It remains at usage site A for the whole of the settlement period.Settlement takes place on Oct. 31st. The RetireDate/TBE indicator for time-based equipment is set for usage site A.

Result of settlement on Oct. 31st: Calendar days determined from Oct. 15th until Oct. 31st = 15 days. The retirement date is of no consequence here. Theretirement date does not count until an actual retirement (scrapping, sale of equipment and so on) takes place.

The monthly depreciation and interest rate (lower value) is € 3,375.

Condition value: 15/30 * € 3.375 = € 1.687,50

Result of settlement on Nov. 31st: Calendar days determined from Nov. 1st until Nov. 12th (incl. retirement date) = 12 days.

The monthly depreciation and interest rate is the same as above.

Condition value: 12/30 * € 3.375 = € 1,350

Case study 2:

The above equipment is sent to usage site B on Nov. 12th where its activity type is changed several times. It is sent to usage site C on Dec. 20th and it remainsthere for the rest of the settlement period.

Usage site B: retirement date (TBE) does not countUsage site C: Retirement date (TBE) counts

Result of Settlement on Nov. 30th:

At usage site B:

An order item from 11.12 until 11.19. = 8 days in operation

An order item from 11.20. until 11.25. = 6 days available for use

An order item from 11.26. until 11.30. = 5 days downtime

Result of Settlement on Dec. 31st:

At usage site B:

An order item from Dec. 1st to Dec. 20th = 19 days in operation (without retirement date – see above)

At usage site C:

An order item from Dec. 21st to Dec. 31st = 11 days in operation (acquisition date always counts for TBE)


Page 66 of 84


Presumption 2:

Equipment 4711 has been defined as an equipment item with equipment type 2000 in the equipment master record.

Settings in Customizing for ETM :· Under Equipment and Tools Management (ETM) ® Operations and Functions ® Stock Check for Equipment ® Inventory Management per

Equipment Type for Shipping Documents , the indicator ( InvM indicator) has been set for chronological inventory management.· Under Equipment and Tools Management (ETM) ® Operations and Functions ® Stock Check for Equipment ® Stock Check per Equipment Type for

Performance-Based Equipment , The indicator ( Stck indicator) has been set as being relevant to stock checks. In other words, if for organizational reasonsPBE documents also existed for TBE, these would be taken into account in settlement.

Result of settlement:settlement would take place twice in this case – once using the shipping document as in case study 1 and a second time using the PBEdocument.

To avoid this, you should block the PBE document against data entry for TBE.

Settlement of Performance-Based Equipment

Case Study 1: Shipping With Shipping Document

Prerequisites

The basis for settlement of performance-based equipment is:· the PBE Document with the actual number of hours worked on the usage site and the appropriate activity and settlement type (AS type) such as “in operation”,

“available for use”, “downtime”, and so on· the number of hours per month (in the recipient master record)· the Catalog (a type of equipment specifications list) for pricing purposes

The equipment type for the performance-based equipment must be relevant to inventory checks.

The activity type must point to an equipment activity (SAP Implementation Guide ® Logistics - General ® Equipment and Tools Management (ETM)® Operations and Functions ® Activity Types and Settlement Types ® Determine Activity Types and Settlement Types ® Service Provider indicator is theequipment.

The PBE as TBE indicator in the recipient master record must not be set

Standard case:PBE is sent to the usage site with a shipping document on Feb. 1st (historical stock record). PBE documents are created for the equipment.(04.02./06.02. (February 4th/6th and 8th, each 3 hours with activity and settlement type “in operation”).Result of Settlement on Feb. 29th:On Feb. 4th, Feb. 6th and Feb. 8th, each date with 3 hours in operation. 9 hours are included in settlement.If there is no PBE document for the whole period of time, the shipping document is used as a basis for the settlement (from Feb. 1st until Feb.29th).

If the equipment type for the equipment is irrelevant to stock checks, then as far as ETM is concerned, you are dealing with time-basedequipment. If both shipping documents and PBE documents exist for the equipment, both are settled (double settlement).

Case Study 2: Shipping Without Shipping Document

Prerequisites

The basis for settlement of performance-based equipment is:· the equipment type for the equipment must not be relevant to stock checks. If it were, the equipment would have to have been sent to the usage site using a

shipping document.· only the PBE document should be flagged as allowed document category for this equipment in the equipment master record.

PBE equipment is sent to a usage site without a shipping document (for example, on a heavy goods vehicle). No historical stock record is created.Equipment activities are entered in the system using PBE documents .

Result of settlement: only the PBE document can be used in settlement. If no PBE documents had been created in the settlement period, noactivity would be included in settlement.

Case Study 3: Using the Settlement Calendar

Settings:Equipment 300000006 allowed for shipping documents and PBE documents, equipment type 2000 (relevant to stock checks) and recipient


Page 67 of 84





100050.Equipment is sent to recipient 100050 with a shipping document on Feb. 1st (acquisition). A PBE document is entered with 3 hours in operation onFeb. 3rd.The settlement calendar enters activity and settlement type “downtime” on recipient level 100050 for Feb. 2nd and 3rd.The equipment is sent from usage site 100050 to usage site 100051 on Feb. 5th and it stays there for the rest of the settlement period. No PBEdocument is entered for recipient 100051 over the entire period.Result of Settlement on Feb. 29th:Recipient 100050 is charged for 3 hours in operation on Feb 3rd (PBE document).· Recipient 100051 is charged with activity type “in operation” from Feb. 5th until Feb. 29th (shipping document).

Since you are dealing with PBE, only the PBE document is settled for recipient 100050. Entries in the settlement calendar are irrelevant tosettlement in this case and are ignored.

ActivitiesEnsure that the PBE as TBE indicator in the ETM Settlement data view of the recipient master record is not flagged.

Define the equipment types for PBE equipment that you want to be settled using PBE documents as relevant to stock checks. You can do this in Customizing forETM under Operations and Functions ® Stock Check for Equipment ® Stock Check per Equipment Type for Performance-Based Equipment .

!--a11y-->

1.2.4.4.1.3 Settlement of PBE as TBE

UseETM equipment activity can be settled differently for different recipients. For example, there is an indicator ( PBE as TBE indicator) in the recipient master recordthat allows you to determine that the same equipment is settled as time-based equipment (TBE) for external recipients and as performance-based equipment(PBE) for internal recipients.

PrerequisitesThe basis for settlement of performance-based equipment as time-based equipment (PBE as TBE) is the shipping document.

The PBE as TBE indicator must have been set in the Recipient Master Record for the recipient that you want to include in settlement.

The equipment type for the equipment must be relevant to stock checks (= performance-based equipment).

The prerequisites from Settlement of Time-Based Equipment also apply.

Exception

If PBE has been sent to a customer using a shipping document and no PBE document has been created during the whole commissioning period, the PBE issettled as though it were TBE (using the shipping document). This avoids the case of the customer not being billed at all.

ActivitiesFlag the PBE as TBE indicator in the Settlement data view of the recipient master record (see: Changing a Recipient Master Record.

!--a11y-->

Settlement of a Settlement Package

PrerequisitesShipping documents containing settlement packages must have been entered in the system.

ActivitiesThe following example helps to clarify the activities that are required:

Settlement package for excavator 4711 (fictitious equipment 4711) containing:

Equipment Description Qty Percent Equiv. number

4713 Shovel 5 3

The quantity per item only serves as information and is not relevant to settlement or inventory management. If you enter percentages, the total must equal 100%.

Basic rental price, according to the catalog (equipment specifications list)

Equipment 4712: € 275/month

Equipment 4713: € 75/month

1 x equipment 4711 with activity type “in operation” was sent with a shipping document (4 days in operation).

No. days/month indicator in the recipient master record = 30 days.

SD order created (conditions on item level)

Item Equipment Qty Value

10 4712 0,667 24,44

20 4713 0,333 3,33

Formula for determining the value of the order for each item: (axb/c) x base amount (basic price) x condition factor = order value per item.a = quantity from shipping documentb = equivalence number from settlement package of appropriate itemc = sum of all equivalence numbers in packagecondition factor = days in operation/days per month from recipient master record

Result of settlement

Item 10 (1 x 6/9) x 275 x 0.1333 = € 24.44

Item 20 (1 x 3/9) x 75 x 0.1333 = € 3.33

The quantity in the SD item does not represent the physical quantity but the condition type for the settlement package. The quantity in the SDdocument is multiplied accordingly for multipart equipment.

!--a11y-->

Settlement for Multipart Equipment

Prerequisites· Multipart equipment should not be performance-based.· The allowed document category in the equipment master record is shipping document. (PBE document should not be an allowed document category for

multipart equipment).· The equipment type of the equipment cannot be relevant to stock checks.

Example

10 drills (multipart equipment) are sent to usage site A with settlement and activity type “in operation” on May 1st.

Display in Historical Stock

Settlement with activity and settlement type In Operation .

3 of these drilling machines are sent to usage site B on May 15th. The remaining 7 drilling machines stay on usage site A for the whole of the settlement period(until May 31st).

Display in Historical Stock

From May 5th - 15.05. 10 machines on usage site A, settlement and activity type “in operation”.

From May 15th - unrestricted-use stock = 7 on usage site A, activity and settlement type “in operation”

From May 15th - unrestricted-use stock = 3 on usage site B, activity and settlement type “in operation”.

1) Usage site A with activity and settlement type “in operation” is completed by May 15th.

Usage site A: new stock is created as of May 15th for the remaining quantity of 7 with activity type “in operation”.

Usage site B: new stock is created as of May 15th for the remaining quantity of 3 with activity type “in operation”.

Result of Settlement on May 31st on Usage Site A

10 units are settled with activity type “in operation” from May 1st until May 15th.

7 units are settled with activity type “in operation” from May 15th until May 31st.

Result of Settlement on May 31st on Usage Site B

3 units are settled with activity type “in operation” from May 15th until May 31st.

1.2.4.4.1.6 Settlement of Materials

UseYou must use an intermediate recipient if you want to send materials. This intermediate recipient usually represents the physical warehouse or storage location.

Prerequisites· The Intermediate Recipient field must have been filled in the shipping document in cases of onward delivery (automatic material sales/material repurchase).· The system only takes those materials into account that are being sent internally (within the same company code or across different company codes). External

shipping is irrelevant here.· The activity type form the shipping document must have been assigned an onward delivery activity type (return delivery activity type).· The appropriate assignment sales/repurchase for material deliveries must have been made for the document and material type.· The shipping document type must have been assigned to the appropriate sales document types for internal and external material sales and material

repurchase.· The appropriate billing type must have been assigned to the sales/repurchase document type.· Different item categories (Standard SD and MM) must have been created for material sales and repurchase and these must have been assigned to item

category groups which, in turn, must have been assigned to the material.

Settlement Across Different Company Codes

UseThis type of settlement takes effect if you have more than one company code (legally independent company) in your enterprise. It does not matter which companycode the objects for settlement (PM order, WBS element, CO order and so on) belong to.

Posting rules determine which account assignment object is used to determine the company code for the providing and debited parties.

IntegrationNumerous settings must be made in Customizing for ETM.

PrerequisitesAll the company codes must use the same chart of accounts.

FeaturesThis function uses electronic data interchange (EDI) to generate an outgoing invoice for one company code and an incoming invoice in another company code.Settlement of tax is also taken into account.

ActivitiesThe following example helps to clarify the activities that are required:

Short description

Equipment 4711 Company code 0001

Usage Location X Company code 0002

Warehouse Company code 0001

Shipping: From warehouse (company code 0001) to usage site X (company code 0002). An outgoing invoice (debit) is created in company code 0001.

Company code 0001

Posting key 01 Receivables co. code 0001 to co. code 0002 € 1.160,-

Posting key 50 For example, PM order administrator for equi. 4711 € 1.000,-

Posting key A1 Output tax € 160,-

EDI is triggered using message/output control. It posts an incoming invoice (credit) in company code 0002.

Example: Settlement Across Different Company Codes Using EDI

Prerequisites· Providing and debited account assignment objects belong to different organizational structures (company codes).

Equipment (PM order administrator = providing object) has been assigned to company code 0001.Construction site (WBS element = debited object) has been assigned to company code 0002.

· Material must have been created in the appropriate organizational structure.· Debtor must have been created for the appropriate sales area or for Financial Accounting (FI).

ProcedureBusiness background and task

Many companies manage their equipment in a separate company that is a legally independent unit with its own balance sheets and accounts. This isrepresented by a company code in SAP (company code 0001).The usage sites (for example, construction sites) can also belong to their own legally independent company and therefore have another company code(company code 0002).For this reason, and provided that you are not dealing with an integrated company, when using an equipment or material that belongs to company code 001 ata usage site belonging to company code 002 you must create an outbound and inbound billing document with the relevant tax for each company code.In other words, company code 0001 creates and posts an outbound invoice (debit). Company code 0002 posts an inbound invoice (credit).

How does the system deal with this task?EDI can be used to avoid invoices from company code 0001 having to be entered manually in company code 0002.When the outbound invoice from company code 0001 is created and posted, an inbound invoice is triggered in company code 0002 by means ofoutput/message control and EDI.As far as company code 0001 is concerned, company code 0002 is a real customer and must therefore be entered as a customer (debtor) in the system,even for the sales area.As far as company code 0002 is concerned, company code 0001 is a real vendor and must therefore be entered as a vendor (creditor) in the system, evenfor the purchasing organization.

PostingsOutbound invoice (debit) in company code 0001

01 Receivables for company code 0002 (usage site)50 Cost element revenue from rental (accounted to providing party = PM order)A1 Value-added tax (V.A.T.)

Automatic inbound invoice (credit) in company code 000231 Payables for company code 000140 Equipment rental costs (accounted to debiting party = WBS element for usage site)V1 Input tax

Detailed description of the procedure and appropriate Customizing settings for cross-company code settlement with EDIEquipment from company code 0001 is sent to a usage site in company code 0002 The PM order (administrator) for the equipment has been assigned tocompany code/business area/plant (in our example, company code 0001). The equipment is the provider of the service (creditor).The account assignment object for the recipient (in accordance with recipient type), for example WBS element or cost center has been assigned to companycode/business area (in our example, company code 0002). The usage site is the debtor. a. Determining the sales area for the provider of the service (creditor)

ETM Settlement proceeds as follows:The organizational data for the equipment and therefore its assignment to a company code/business area/plant is determined from the provider of theservice = equipment. Then the sales area for the equipment is defined in Customizing for ETM under Global Settings ® Sales Area per CompanyCode/Business Area/Plant . The system then also generates the SD order in this sales area.In our example, this would be company code 0001 which is equivalent to sales organization 0001/distribution channel 01/division 01.

b. Determining the sales area for the debtorThe appropriate sales area is determined from the account assignment object for the debtor = usage site.In our example, this would be company code 0002 which is equivalent to sales organization 0002/diistribution channel 02/division 02.

c. Determining the customer (internal settlement)A debtor (bill-to party and payer) is defined for sales organization 0002 in Customizing for ETM under Global Settings ® Customer Internal Settlementper Sales Organization in ETM . This debtor is used for the outbound invoice form company code 0001.This “customer internal settlement”, for example debtor 111, must have been created in sales area 0001/01/01. However, it represents company code0002.You do not have to maintain a ETM view in the master data for the “customer internal settlement” but you must have maintained data correctly for financialaccounting (FI) and sales and distribution (SD).

d. Across different company codes:As described in 4a and 4b above, the business transactions have been determined as cross-company code. The ETM indicator for postings is

adapted accordingly in internal programs.Message determination

If you want to use EDI, you must have made the appropriate settings for message determination for billing documents in Customizing. ( Equipment and ToolsManagement (ETM) ® Operations and Functions ® Settlement ® EDI Settlement ).Message condition type J3GO is delivered with the system. As is usually the case with condition technique, you have to create a condition record for thiscondition type and a customer (internal settlement), for example debtor 111.

You also have to define message determination for cancellations in accordance with the billing documents.Partner profiles

You have to define which message type you want the system to use for both the customer (debtor) and the vendor (creditor). The system uses the followingpartner types:

KU = customerLI = vendor a. Settings for the customer

For example, for debtor 111 that has been created in company code 0001 and represents company code 0002:Output/message controlPartner number 111 Application V3Partner type KU Output/message type J3G0Partner function REOutput/message category INVOICOutput/message variant CEMProcess code /SAPCEM/INVOIC_OUTPUTOutbound parametersRecipient type, for example, external systemIDoc basic type /SAPCEM/INVOIC

Set the output mode to Collect IDocs and Do not start subsystem .Inbound parametersNone necessary

b. Settings for the vendorIn our example, sales area 0002/02/02 for the customer (internal settlement).Output/message control and outbound parametersNone necessaryInbound parametersPartner number 500002 Output/message category INVOICPartner type LI Invoice/billing documentPartner function Output/message variant CEMProcess code /SAPCEM/INVOIC_OUTPUT

c. Forwarding inbound data to the vendor (creditor)The debtor from one company code (for example, company code 0001 and debtor number 111) is converted for the other company code (for example,company code 0002 and vendor 500002).For further information on this subject, please see the appropriate documentation in the SAP Implementation Guide (IMG).

d. Setting posting parametersYou must define a tax type (for example, A1) and the tax rate that the EDI partner can transfer (from the providing company code 0001) using controlindicators.You define the posting key and the document type in the program parameters. Here you can decide whether you want posting to take place directly or bymeans of a batch input session.

Posting by means of a batch input session.

ResultAn outbound invoice has been created in company code 0001 and an inbound invoice has been created in company code 0002.

1.2.4.4.3 Recipient Data Check

UseThis function finds any errors in the shipping documents and PBE documents that are used to generate the SD orders. The system displays an error log fromwhich you can correct the errors directly.

The system checks the following:· Recipient

¡ Billing and account assignment indicator for WBS elements¡ Whether the recipient has been defined as relevant to settlement (Settlement Indicator)¡ Correctness and completeness of the settlement data (settlement type, calendar ID, hours per day/month, complete month, days per month) in

accordance with the document type· Equipment

¡ Active BOM for the equipment (basis for pricing)¡ PM order (owner)


Page 72 of 84


¡ PM order (administrator)¡ Comparison of organizational structures

· Material sales/repurchase¡ Assignment of material to catalog¡ Comparison of organizational structures

· Posting/update block for CO objects, WBS elements and equipment

PrerequisitesShipping documents and PBE documents exist.

ActivitiesCorrect the errors in the log. Double-click on the appropriate entry. You should not perform SD Settlement until you have corrected all the errors.

!--a11y-->

1.2.4.4.3.1 Checking a Recipient

PrerequisitesShipping documents and PBE documents exist.

Procedure 1. On the initial screen choose Logistics ® Equipment and Tools Management ® Transaction Data ® Settlement ® SD Orders ® Check SD

Orders .The Check Recipient/Std and Dummy Recipient Settlement Relevance Etc. selection screen appears.

2. Select either by using the document date or by using the document number.If you enter values for Document Date and Document Number you receive a message informing you that the period of time has been ignored and thesystem has selected data on the basis of the document numbers you entered.

3. Choose Execute. 4. Correct any mistakes.

ResultThe check is free from errors. SD orders can be generated (please see: Generating SD Orders).

!--a11y-->

1.2.4.4.4 Generating SD Orders

Procedure 1. On the initial screen choose Logistics ® Equipment and Tools Management ® Transaction Data ® Settlement ® SD Orders ® Create

SD Orders . 2. The Input ETM Sales Orders with Job Split in R/3 SD screen appears.

The system fills the Settlement date field with a value corresponding to the last settlement date from Customizing, the Max. no. of items perorder field with a default value of 10 and the No. of jobs to be started field with a default value of 10. If more than one batch job is to be run, youshould enter the number in the No. of jobs to be started field. If you process parts of data in parallel, you can minimize the total run timedramatically. You can change the default values.

3. Enter the appropriate values. If you enter a document number as well as a ship-to party and company code, the system ignores the document number. Awarning appears. If you select your data using the document number, you must remove/not enter a ship-to party or company code. Confirm the warning andcontinue processing.

4. The selection buttons program start as test run or as update run control whether it is a test or update settlement run.

You should always run a Test without orders before you run an update run.You can settle materials and equipment separately if you have not selected using the ship-to party or the company code.

5. Set either Yes or No for Orders sorted by GR . If you select Yes, only items from a goods recipient are created per automatically generated SD order (canbe used for example by work cooperatives). If you select No the standard ETM order generation occurs. This means that each order item can be a differentgoods recipient.

6. By entering a value for Number of Orders per Commit Work you can determine the number of order headers per commit work. In the case of an incorrectsettlement this saves you time because you only have to run the incorrect orders again.


Page 73 of 84



7. Choose Execute.If you have not performed or not completed a location setup, a dialog box appears informing you of this. If this is the case, execute a Location Setup andrepeat the SD settlement procedure.

If a split job in settlement is terminated you can process the remaining data to be processed by using restart (transaction SE38 ® ProgramJ_3GINVC_RESCUE ). Enter the same selection criteria in the input fields as in the original settlement start (pay special attention to Update

run / Test run .

ResultSD orders have been generated. You can now process these SD orders. You can find further information on this subject under Changing and Displaying SDOrders.

After completing the SD order generation you have to perform a postprocessing run to update the status ( Logistics ® Equipment and Tools Management ® Transaction Data ® Settlement ® SD Orders ® Postprocess Input ) If during the first postprocessing run the system does not update all statuses (forexample because of a lock by another user) you have to trigger another run.

Release 4.6C2 has an improved settlement lock concept. Double-start of the update run is not possible. The required lock is set at the start of theprogram and released at the end. The lock remains during program termination. In this case to unlock the run you have to use programJ _3GINVC_RESCUE (transaction SE38 ®Program J_3GINVC_RESCUE )

!--a11y-->

1.2.4.4.5 ETM Test Settlement Run

DefinitionThe ETM test settlement run process the data completely and carries out all the checks. The only difference from the update run is that the appropriate status isnot set in the documents included in the run.

The system writes all the errors it finds into a Settlement Log. This settlement run log is displayed when the appropriate program is started after the run hasfinished. The system makes a copy of this log and archives it so you can display it at any time.

UseYou can use the ETM test settlement run to simulate SD settlement and therefore minimize errors in each monthly settlement.

You can set up the retention period of settlement logs in Customizing ( Logistics – General ® Equipment and Tools Management (ETM) ® Operations andFunctions ® Settlement ® Settlement Basic Data ® Retention Period for SD Order Log Objects). The default setting for the retention period of logs for testruns is 50 days, for all other logs 500 days. Log deletion is not automatic, you must delete logs using transaction SGL2 . An annual reorganization isrecommended. You can also delete logs before the end of the retention period (parameter entry in transaction SLG2).

!--a11y-->

1.2.4.4.9 Input Postprocessing

UseIf you have created SD orders with restrictions on document number, recipient or company code, the system automatically starts a postprocessing run.Postprocessing assigns an appropriate status to the shipping and PBE documents so that no changes can be made to them after they have been included in thesettlement run and so that they cannot be settled again. A check in view J_3GKONZAB (basic settlement date) determines that you cannot make any furtherchanges to this settlement date until postprocessing has been completed.

If you generated SD orders without any restrictions, you have to start the postprocessing run manually from the menu. You must have performed this run before thenext settlement run takes place!

PrerequisitesSettlement and all other preparations must have been completed.

1.2.5 ETM Inventory

PurposeETM inventory is used in the area of equipment rental. It is based upon recipient-oriented key-date inventory, similar to that used in the Materials Management(MM) module. However, materials are not included in inventory, only equipment (equipment items and multipart equipment). Materials can be included ininventory by using the standard R/3 System.

PrerequisitesYou should not enter any more shipping documents after the stock lists have been generated.

Process Flow

Part 1· Determine quantity· Print stock list

A stock list without any quantities entered is distributed to the usage sites. The stock controller or person responsible on the usage site enters the quantities inthe list.

· Create, change and display initial entry of stock balancesAfter the stock has been counted, the result has to be entered in the system. Items (equipment and small parts) that are not listed in the stock list can also beincluded. The items must be marked with the appropriate indicator.

Part 2· Check entry of stock balances

¡ Counted stock without equipment number¡ Counted stock with equipment number

Part 3· Generate stock differences· Values for stock differences· Reset generated stock differences

You can use this function to reset inventory completely.· Write off differences for multipart equipment

You can only write off the differences for multipart equipment using this function. Equipment items are ignored.

You have to use Asset Accounting (AA) in the Financial Accounting (FI) module to deal with equipment items.

ResultYou have corrected the stock for multipart equipment.

1.2.6 Archiving of ETM Data

UseThis function provides 1. A where-used check of standard objects in ETM 2. Archiving of ETM objectsAbout 1:

Checks on the use of objects from the ETM area are added to the check logic for where-used checks of standard archiving objects (such as equipment). Thewhere-used check should ensure that data that is not used in ETM cannot be archived.

About 2:

Data from the ETM area that you no longer require for the business process can be archived and, therefore, deleted from the system. When archiving the systeminitially stores the data in a file that has been defined in Customizing. When deleting the system imports the archived data from the file and deletes it from thesystem. The delete program starts automatically when performing archiving.

The provision of archiving objects enables archiving of ETM objects of type shipping documents, performance-based equipment (PBE) documents, catalogs, billsof material (BOMs), insurance data, requisition notes, and condition records. This is integrated in standard archiving.

PrerequisitesIf you want to archive an ETM object you have to configure the archiving object in transaction SARA. Enter the archiving object and choose Goto ® Customizing .
