14. Reporting in SAP
Reference Information:
Structure of Functional Location (e.g.IH01)
Object Lists (IH06, IH08,…)
Multiple Level Lists (IL07, IE07,…)
Purposes:
Finding Location codes and equipment numbers
Verifying Technical Structure
Reviewing/identifying spares, measuring points etc.
Operational reports
List of Notifications (e.g. IW28, IW29, IW65)
Lists of Work orders (IW38, IW39)
List of Work order operations (IW37N, IW49N)
Purposes:
Work lists
Status Monitoring and progression
Planning and preparation of work packs
Interactive – allow you to access other functions by double click
Maintenance Information Reports
Cost Analysis (MCI3,MCI8)
Damage and Breakdown analysis (MCI5, MCI7)
Purposes
Trends
Problem monitoring
Cost analysis
Maintenance statistics (Mean time between failures, mean time to repair etc.)
Provide limited drill down (e.g. cannot directly display/access notification from output)
16. Reporting on Technical Structures
Used to identify or locate technical objects in SAP
Can be used to:
Locate assets to be worked on
Safety critical assets
Spare lists for assets
Other assets impacted by problems
As aid to identify where equipment is installed in technical systems
……
19. Operational Reports
Provide information and functionality to support day to day maintenance activities
Notifications
IW28 - Lists of Requests for maintenance (planning & preparation)
IW65 - Lists of activities performed
IW29 - Checking Notification progress
IW28 - Approving/activating/closing notifications
Work orders
IW38 - Daily/weekly/monthly planning and scheduling
IW38 - Approving/releasing/closing work orders
IW38/IW37N - Applying changes to ranges of orders
IW39/IW49N - Work order progress
IW49N - Monitoring work order operations
O3O_MT01 Materials tracking (RLM)
Others
IK17 - Measurement readings
…….
20. Using Variants
Display and selection variants can be controlled by central SAP support for use by maintenance
department personnel
Using variants makes it easier for operator to locate records requiring their action and display the
relevant information to assist in identifying when they needs to do. Typical examples include:
Role Task Selection Criteria (Variant) Display Criteria (Variant)

approved) with today‟s date>= work
order start date
Selection criteria could be manually entered but using pre-defined and reusable selection and display criteria
saves time and reduces risk in incorrect entry by operator
Basic Variants can be created centrally (by system support) – local copies can be made to tailor to suit local
needs
22. Summary of Operational Reports
Useful for providing information to support day to day maintenance
activities
Can be tailored to suit daily activities for a job role/individual
Provide direct interaction with other PM functions
Can be downloaded readily to Excel for further analysis
24. Plant Maintenance Information System
SAP information system contains several reporting structures to support analysis of Key
figures in SAP plant maintenance
Each Report consists of:
Characteristics – Objects to be reported e.g.:
Functional Location
Equipment
Document type
Key figures – values to be reported e.g.
Count of Work orders
Total Planned value
Characteristics form the „Rows‟ of the report Key figures form the „Columns‟
Characteristic Key Value 1 Key Value 2
Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 000000.00 0
Each report uses information structures updated as data is saved in the system (e.g.
when a work order is saved data is summarised into relevant Info Structures)
25. Plant Maintenance Information System
Benefits:
Readily provides summarised data for some key performance
indictors
Provides periodic data analysis capability (with comparisons)
Downloads details readily into excel for detailed analysis
Weaknesses
Display , although customisable is limited, can only display one
characteristic at a time (e.g. if you want to see details on all
equipment in functional locations, you have to drill down to
equipment level for each functional location – can be resolved by
downloading to excel)
Does not permit drilldown into transactional data (in all cases)
26. Plant Maintenance Information System – Continued
Two main types of analysis are available:
Standard Analysis
Transactions reporting on standard Info Structures
Useful function provided to tailor report output to suit business
requirements
Flexible analysis
Enables analysis and reports to be specified using exiting info
Structures or SAP database tables
Enables selection of characteristics to be used in analysis (Rows)
Enable selection of Key Figures to be used in analysis (Columns)
Enables inclusion of formula‟s for additional information to be
evaluated (e.g. difference between Total Planned costs and actual
costs)
SAP provides Exceptions functionality to further highlight or report on data
depending on specific occurrences (e.g. where actual costs have exceeded a
threshold value).
27. Information System – Standard Analysis
Standard Information Structures are provided to summarise records in SAP.
For Plant Maintenance several Information structures are provided analysing core key
information on maintenance activity
Information structures are based on information summarised by:
Technical Objects provides count and cost analysis of work carried out on technical
objects providing analysis by:
Object Class (MCI1)
Manufacturer on technical object (MCI2)
Location (MCI3)
Maintenance Notifications e.g. :
Mean Time to Repair & Mean Time between repairs (MTTR & MTBR)
Equipment (MCJB)
Functional Location (MCJC)
Notifications per period (MCI7)
Based on use of breakdown and breakdown duration on Notifications
Damage Analysis (MCI5) – uses notification damage and cause code catalogs
Work Orders
Cost Analysis (MCI8)
28. Standard Analysis –Objects Analysis
Analysis provided for:
MCI1 Object Class
MCI2 Manufacturer
MCI3 Location
Reports on:
Counts
Notification
Work orders – planned, unplanned completed
Damages
Breakdowns
Costs
Planned, actual, Material, Internal, External etc.
Totals
Breakdown durations
Used to identify Best/Worst performing assets in terms of:
Breakdowns
Downtime (asset unavailable)
Costs
Maintenance effort required
29. Standard Analysis – Objects Statistics

No. completed orders
Est. total costs
Ext. material costs
External wage costs
Internal mat. costs
Internal wage costs
Other costs
Services costs
Total actual costs
Total planned costs
Total revenues act
33. Information System – Flexible Analysis
Flexible analysis evaluations and Structures permit creation of Info
Structures and reports based either on existing Structures or SAP
database tables
Different structures can be defined (for example Breakdown analysis
and cost analysis) by selecting common characteristics and key figures
from several PM based objects
Evaluations support the addition of formulas to enable additional
calculations to be performed such as Cost Variance (calculated using
standard key figures Total Planned costs and Total Actual cost
Threshold values can be set to highlight exceptions
35. Using Exceptions
SAP exception functionality is used to highlight „exceptional circumstances‟ on analysis reports
Exceptions are created with reference to Info Structures – each standard analysis provided be SAP is
linked to an info structure
For example Cost Analysis is constructed using Info Structure S115 – cost evaluation, therefore to create
an exception for the cost analysis report, Info structure S115 would be references in the exception.
To see what info Structure is used by a standard analysis report, click on the icon indicated below and
details will appear as shown

Info Structure to be referred to
when creating an exception
37. Summary of Information System Reports
Useful for providing information to highlight and report on maintenance
history
Exceptions can be tailored to highlight and work flow situation requiring
intervention/monitoring
Provide good basis for determining reliability and cost of assets over
several periods of time
Standard reports download readily into MS excel for further analysis
