SAP PM - Refurbishment Process

Refurbishment is defined as the process of repairing spare parts and returning the spare parts to the warehouse or to the equipment. You can define a Refurbishment order as Maintenance order by which you can execute the process of refurbishing damaged equipment. To perform this, you need a material and serial # combination.

As part of the Refurbishment process, you can uninstall the damaged equipment or material from the maintenance plant and it is moved to the Warehouse using movement type 101. A Refurbishment order is created to collect the cost for the refurbishment process.

Once the Refurbishment process is completed, you change the conditional state of material from damaged to Refurbished state. The Refurbished equipment can be reinstalled in the maintenance plant and the order is closed. Following are the key steps in the Refurbishment process −

• Uninstall the damaged equipment from the Maintenance Plant.
• Movement type 101, to move the material to the warehouse.
• Creation of Refurbishment order to collect the cost for the refurbishment activity.
• When the Refurbishment process is executed, the state of material is changed from damaged to Refurbished.
• Reinstallation of equipment in the Maintenance plant.
