SAP PM External Service


:
This tutorial is part of our SAP PM
course and it talks about SAP PM external service
management. You will learn how to handle external services and
operations in SAP maintenance orders. Our explanation will be
illustrated by examples for external services and external
services as service items.

It is possible that an organization needs to procure external


services due to the capacity constraints, lack of specialized
talent or cost factors. In this case, it can procure external
services by creating a purchase order or by creating external
firms as work centers.

SAP PM external service functionality provides the basic


process of procurement of externally performed services.
:
SAP PM external service can be processed in three different
ways:

Individual purchase order


External firm work center
Service item with individual purchase order and
service specifications and a subsequent service entry

The external assignment is controlled by a control key in the


maintenance order or assigned in a work center of the
operation.

Three different types of the control key are as follows:

PM01: The assignment is processed by an internal


work center.
PM02: The external procurement is processed by a
purchase requisition followed with an individual
purchase order.
PM03: The external assignment is processed using
an external operation with service specification and
followed by a service entry sheet.

It is possible to assign the part of work in a maintenance order


and outsource to external organizations. You can divide the
maintenance operations which are performed by an internal
work center and which are performed by external work center.

Also, it is possible to assign a complete maintenance order to an
external company. In this case, create a maintenance order with
a single operation, which is assigned to an external company.

When external services are planned, the purchase requisition is


automatically created with a reference to a maintenance order
as account assignment. The procurement team converts the
purchase requisition to a purchase order.

Once goods receipts are done for external operations, the status
of operation is updated to EOPD (external operation partially
delivered). If you set the final delivery indicator on the goods
receipt, then the status is updated to EODL (external operations
delivery completed).

Procurement of External

a new maintenance order with the control key PM02 (in
transaction IW31).

Procurement of External Service


as Service Items
Service procurement process requires service master record
which is created in SAP material management. You can create a
maintenance order with only service items as external operation
or you can combine them with internally processed operations.
When you create a maintenance order, a purchase requisition is
automatically created. The purchase requisition contains service
specifications. In purchasing, a purchase order is created with a
reference to the requisition. Service is performed by an external
agency, then a service entry sheet is filled against the purchase
order instead of entering goods receipt.
