What is NWBC ? and what are examples in PM
SAP NetWeaver Business Client (NWBC) is a new SAP user interface (UI) released by SAP in early 2007, presenting end users with a seamless integration of classic SAP GUI-based transactions and newly developed applications based on Web Dynpro ABAP. In the desktop variant, a high-fidelity UI is offered to improve the user experience. NWBC provides the user with a typical, modern, desktop-based user experience.
Check the screen views example comparing Fiori App to NWBC to SAPGUI:
Also look at this example of PM Technician Confirmation using NWBC:
Do not create PR and use MRP to create PR for "PM02" or Non-Stock scenario in the Maintenance Order

How to move from End User to PM Consulting
- As an End User of the SAP PM module, you are already one step ahead of some one who step into SAP PM Consulting without the actual day-to-day operations of the PM Module.
- However, in the End user environment, you company may not be using all of the SAP PM module functionalities and therefore your exposure may be limited to what was implemented.
- It is then advisable to look at the standard courses SAP offer for the PM module and set a target for PM Certification.
- At this point in June 2023, it is probably more logical to be Certified in the latest version of the S/4PM rather than the ECC PM. However, do note that "Most and if not ALL" PM features in ECC are still available in the S/4 2023 system version. To be most up to date to the S/4 PM functions is to be aware of the Innovative features of PM best practices in the S/4 system.
- If your company is in progress to migrate to the S/4 system (from ECC), then it is a good chance to be involved in the project from start to go-life support. Do not be afraid of the extra hours to get involved in discussion, understand the consultant blueprint, configurations, testing, data conversion, and go-life support, You full cycle implementation involvement will be a good point in your CV.
- Adding to Point no.5, learn about the configuration. If you have a play ground system, try to learn to setup a new Plant, new Equipment/FL Category, new Notification Type, new Order Type etc. and test create new Primary and Secondary Master Data and go through different PM scenarios using your own data and configurations:
- Master Data: Functional Location
- Master Data: Equipment
- Master Data: Equipment link to Material-Serial-Valuation Type
- Master Data: Permits
- Master Data: Material Master for Spares , IBAU, Assembly
- Master Data: Service Master
- Master Data: Asset-EQ Integration
- Master Data: BOM (Material, EQ, FL BOMs)
- Master Data: Maintenance Task List (A, E, T Task List Type)
- Master Data: Measuring Point
- Scenario: Breakdown
- Scenario: Corrective
- Scenario: Preventive (Single Cycle, Strategy, Multi-Counter, Service Procurement)
- Scenario: Refurbishment (internal and external Subcontracting)
- Scenario: Calibration (internal and external)
- Scenario: Asset Under Construction
- Scenario: Inspection Rounding
- Scenario: Using MEB with or without Project System
- Common Process: Item Category "L" (Stock) Process
- Common Process: Item Category "N" (Non-Stock) Process
- Common Process: Control Key "PM01" (Internal) Process
- Common Process: Control Key "PM02" (External Operation) Process
- Common Process: Control Key "PM03" (External Service) Process
- Cross-Applications: Document Management System
- Cross-Applications: Engineering Change
- MM: PR-RFQ-Quotation-PO-GR-Invoice
- FICO: G/L Account Determination
- FICO: Costing Sheet Formula and Overhead Calculation
- FICO: Settlement Profiles and Settlement Process
- Exposure of MM Material Master, Service Master, Lean Service, PR, RFQ, Quotation, Contract, PO, GR, SES and LIV steps are additional advantage to the PM Consulting.
- Exposure to G/L account determinations will be good.
- Understanding the PM-CO integration for the Cost calculations, Overhead calculation, and Settlement Process setup and processing will be good.
- Knowing how to use the MEB (Maintenance Event Builder) with or without Integration to PS is always a handy knowledge.
- AND course plan to obtain the SAP PM Certification:
