Question no 4259 : ERS without GR-Based IV

In SAP S/4 1909, ERS without GR-Based IV can be used for which ERS transaction below ?

(more than one answers)

A)  MRRL.

B)  MRKO for Consignment Settlement.

C)  MRKO for Pipeline Settlement.

D)  MRIS for Invoicing Plan Settlement

E)  All of the above.

.

Answer: B, C, D

Both MRRL and MRDC

    expects ERS with GR-Based IV to Settle Material Supplier Invoice and Freight Supplier Invoice as 

    the basis on Auto Invoice is based on Goods Receipt Material Document.

MRER (for Automotive ERS) 

    is available in S/4 carried over from Automotive Industry Solution; technically in S/4

    MRER can be used for a ERS+GR-BasedIV PO.

MRKO (Consignment and Pipeline Settlement)

    There is no Price for Consignment PO and Goods Receipt for Consignment PO is not valuated.

    The GI of Consignment stock and Transfer of Consignment Stock to own stock do not required

    GR-Based-IV for the Auto Invoice.

    The GI of Pipeline stocks Material Document tis used for Auto Invoice but without GR-Based-IV 

    setting.

MRIS (Invoicing Plan Settlement)

    Invoicing Plan settlement is for Invoicing Plan PO without GR and GR-Based-IV setting is therefore

    not relevant.

(more than one answers)

A)  GR-Based IV is mandatory.

B)  The Purchase Order item must be set with a Tax Code.

C)  ERS indicator must be set in the Vendor Master.

D)  Material Master is not required in the Purchase Order. 

E)  ERS indicator need not be in the Vendor Master but can be set in the PO item.

.

(more than one answers)

Answer: A, B, C, D

Characteristics for Invoicing Plan

Vendor Purchasing data setting for ERS is Mandatory (if ERS not set in Vendor, the ERS indicator is not visible in the PO item "Invoice" tab)

In the PO Header, the Doc type "FO" (Framework Order) is expected for allowing Validity Periods
In the PO Header, Payment Term is necessary so that Base line date is derived for the Auto Invoice
In the PO item overview, the Account Assignment is Mandatory (not "U" or Unknown)

In the PO item overview, Item Category is not logical

In the PO item overview, Material Master is possible to default description, UOM, or PO Text and Material Group 

In the PO Delivery Tab, the GR indicator  if select must be set also with GR-Non-Valuated indicator (and GR is still possible, however this may not make sense for Invoicing Plan)

In the PO Invoice Tab, Tax Code is Mandatory

In the PO Invoice Tab, ERS indicator expected otherwise MRIS not possible

In the PO Invoice Tab, Define the Invoice Plan details

SAP Plant Maintenance - CMMS Compliance

SAP and Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) often referred to as the Plant Maintenance module (PM) or "Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)" ensures regulatory compliance, safety standards adherence, and provides extensive audit-ready maintenance tracking by pairing enterprise financial controls with plant maintenance planning and execution processes. 

How SAP and CMMS Drive Compliance:

System of Record vs. Execution: SAP (such as SAP PM, EHS, and QM modules) remains the core system of record for asset master data, maintenance plans, and financial/audit logs, while a connected CMMS handles mobile work execution, checklists, and technician task updates.
Preventive Maintenance (PM) Compliance: Tracks whether preventive maintenance work orders are completed on or before their due dates, often benchmarked using standard grace rules (e.g., closing monthly PMs within 3 days, quarterly PMs within 9 days, and annual PMs within 36 days.
Regulatory Alignment (GMP, OSHA, ISO): Integrates calibration records (e.g., 21 CFR §211.68), equipment qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ under GAMP 5), and process safety management (PSM/MOC workflows) directly into asset audit trails.

Core Integrated Modules:

SAP PM (Plant Maintenance): Stores equipment and equipment structure, functional locations, maintenance plans, and maintenance notifications, and maintenance orders planning and execution. 
SAP QM (Quality Management): Manages inspection lots, compliance documentation, and root-cause analysis.
SAP EHS / Compliance Obligation Registers: Tracks permits, safety inspections, air/water emissions regulations, and action assignments to prevent compliance gap. 
SAP MM: Links spare parts consumption, calibration tool traceability, serial-equipment tracting, contract purchasing, warranty management and end-to-end procurement process from purchase requisition to accounts payable and payment.
SAP FI/CO: Links spare parts consumption, calibration tool traceability, and labor cost settlements directly to compliance work orders. 

Core Compliance Checklist Categories:

1. Asset Register & Criticality Data:

• Hierarchical Asset Tree: Map functional location hierarchy with equipment installation and their relevant construction types (BOM explosion) plus permits.
• SAP T-code: IH01, IH03, IN16.

• SAP T-code: IP11 (Strategy Type for Time and Other Unit of Measure eg; Engine hours, Distance etc). 
• SAP T-code: IP42 (Strategy Plan). 
• SAP T-code: IP19, IP24.
• Condition-Based / Predictive Tasks (Min. 95% data availability): Continuous vibration, temperature, or sensor data streams integrated directly into maintenance order. To implement Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) in SAP (Plant Maintenance / EAM or SAP S/4HANA), you link asset condition readings to automated alerts, notifications, and maintenance order. 
• Automated / External Integration:
• Connect external SCADA, PLC, or IoT monitoring systems using the PM-PCS Interface or SAP Asset Performance Management (SAP APM) with embedded IoT/OPC UA connections.
• Incoming telemetry streams pass values directly into SAP to generate measurement documents.
• Manual Entry: 
• Operators or technicians enter regular inspection or sensor readings via transaction IK11 (Create Measurement Document). You can also use valuation codes (e.g., Normal, Medium, Immediate Stop).

3. Facility Systems & Safety Infrastructure:

• Production Machinery: Motors, drives, gearboxes, and conveyors.
• Facility Infrastructure: HVAC, high-voltage electrical panels, and compressed air systems.
• Safety Systems: Emergency stop buttons, light curtains, physical guards, and safety interlock validation.

• SAP T-code: WCTK (Work Clearance Application)
• SAP T-code: WCTA (Work Clearance Approval)
• SAP T-code: WCT6 (Operational WCD)
• Regulatory Compliance Logs: SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) supports inspection certificates, checklists, and measurement recordings, though formal quality certification workflows are often integrated with the SAP Quality Management (QM) module or handled via SAP S/4 HANA  "Inspection Checklists". 
• SAP T-code: IW91 (Checklists: Result Overview (used to view and record inspection results).
• SAP T-code IW92  (Checklists: Generation (used to generate checklists for maintenance orders).
• SAP T-code QC21 (Print or generate a quality certificate for an inspection lot for the inspection checklist). 
• Spare Parts & BOM Integration: Bill of Materials linked to specific assets (Equipment and/or Functional Location) to verify proper replacement components are used during compliance-mandated repairs.
• T-code: IE02, IL02, CS01/CS02 (BOM) as Construction Type

5. CMMS Compliance Best Practices:

• Automate Schedule Tracking: Monitor schedule compliance (percentage of PMs completed on or before their due date; target 90%–95%, noting that >20% late completion signals process breakdown).
• SAP Fiori App using "Resource Scheduling for Maintenance Order" (App ID F2227)
• Enforce Mandatory Fields: Restrict Maintenance Notification closure "NOCO status" in the CMMS until failure codes, safety checklists, and photo verifications are attached. This is done via Task Catalog Code assignment which must be completed before the Maintenance Notification can be set with "NOCO status".
• SAP T-code: IW66, IW67
• SAP T-code: Field Selection Configuration for Maintenance Notification
• Schedule Periodic Audits: Review CMMS compliance logs monthly or quarterly to catch inspection gaps before regulatory walk-throughs.
• SAP T-code: PLMD_AUDIT (Main transaction for creating and managing audit plans, audits, question lists, and audit components). 
• SAP T-code: PLMC_AUDIT (Customizing transaction for configuring SAP Audit Management settings). 
• SAP T-code: PLM_AUDITMONITOR (Used for monitoring, reviewing, and evaluating existing audit objects and question list results). 
• SAP T-code: PLM_AUDIT_DISPLAY (Used specifically for displaying audit components in read-only mode).
