Approval of Order on Cost basis:

Our client want to cost level approval required on order. For example PM order
cost is 10000 then manager will approved order if cost is above from 10000 then
HOD and also manager both will approved PM order. Is any method in ECC 6.0.

i) Ensure only one Permit category maintained in SPRO --> Plant Maintenance and
Customer Service --> Basic Settings --> Permits --> Define Permit Categories.

Or else permit will not work for approval system.

ii) Create Characteristics for Total Planned Cost

Basic data :

Data Type : Currency, No of Chars : 15 and Decimal Places : 2 ( Any way these will
Get defaulted after once you are referring the field Total Planned Cost PKOSTEN.)

Currency : INR.

Value assignment : Single , Interval Values allowed Checked ( Since we are defining
approval values in the range).

Values : Blank ( Since we are picking values by reference fields)

Additional Data :

Reference to table : CSEVPERMIT, Field Name : PKOSTEN, Value assignment : Not

ready for input.

Save the characteristic Total Planned Cost .

iii) Create a class PM_PERMIT_VALUE with class type : 049 Licenses.

And assign the above created characteristic to this class.

iv) Ensure only one Permit category maintained in SPRO --> Plant Maintenance and
Customer Service --> Basic Settings --> Permits --> Define Permit Groups (PM) and
assign above created class PM_PERMIT_VALUE
iv) Go to IPMD --> change Mode --> create new entries --> Assign class
PM_PERMIT_VALUE --> Go to classification in the header.

Here you have to assign the value range for which you want different levels of
Approval:

Release Group 1 : Value range 0 to 10,000 INR. This range we need to assign in value
assignment for the above class and Object release group1.

Now When you are creating a Maintenance order automatically based on the value
range system will pick up the required permit in to the order, then you can control
authorizations by basis team.
