This blog captures the snapshot of “What is New for Maintenance Operations Solution (part of Asset Management Solution Area) in the S4HANA 1909 On Premise Release?”
1. Actual Cost Analysis
This Fiori app supports in monitoring and evaluating actual costs resulting from current maintenance orders. We can analyze the actual costs for materials and labor in maintenance or to compare the total corrective and preventive actual maintenance costs during a selected time period.
In addition, you can easily identify the maintenance activities leading to the highest costs or the parts of the asset that were particularly costly on inspections.
2. Maintenance Notification and Order: Change Scheduling
With this product feature one can select several maintenance notifications in the Find Maintenance Notification app or several maintenance orders in the Find Maintenance Order app. Then set, overwrite or clear the values of the scheduling-related fields, such as the priority, the revision, the required start date and the required end date.
3. Find Maintenance Plans
This app enables us to find and display maintenance plans either by filtering the list or by using a free text search. We can display a single maintenance plan to view its properties, its assigned maintenance items, and its scheduled and manual maintenance calls.
4. Find Maintenance Plans: Viewing End Date for Scheduling
With this feature, we can display validity data of the respective maintenance plan in the Find Maintenance Plans app. Also one can display the fields End Date for Scheduling and Remaining Schedule Days as table columns. For performance-based single cycle plans and strategy plans, we can also display the new fields End Counter for Scheduling, Remaining Counter and Counter Unit as table columns.
5. Find Maintenance Items
This app enables us to find, display maintenance items and view properties of a maintenance item.
6.Mass Time Confirmations
Verify and upload collective time confirmations using the template. Post collective time confirmations immediately as background jobs.
