You run IP30 when you want to create more work orders.
IP30 has to be run on a regular schedule to create future work orders.
If you run IP30 for the next month, it will create work orders for all PM Plans that have a call date within the next month.
If you have a daily PM Plan then running IP30 for 1 month will create 30 work orders.
If you have a weekly PM Plan then running IP30 for 1 month will create 4 work orders.
If you have a monthly PM Plan then running IP30 for 1 month will create 1 work order.
Most businesses set up a batch job to run weekly looking
forward xx days to keep creating work orders for the next xx days.
IP30 is also used for deadline monitoring of plans.
In plan, we have maintenance item & scheduling parameters.
With respect to your scheduling parameter & start date / schedule date system will give you the orders if it is in the background job.
If the background job is not defined then manually you can get orders by IP10 or IP30.
For consumer number, check your maintenance item or plan
details.
Do we need to run this transaction code IP30 for all the maintenance plans which are scheduled on regularly daily basis or weekly basis so that if any scheduled object exists then it will get converted into the service order?
It needs to be run as per business requirements.
There are two ways to do so.
One way manually as & when you run this transaction for required PM Plans say weekly or monthly with your scheduling parameter you will get the maintenance objects.
Another way you create one variant. Now with this variant
create one background job as per your need give the time period every day,
every week, month & system will generate maintenance calls for you
at that specified duration.
Is it necessary to run the IP Transaction code for each maintenance plan that we have scheduled?
Yes, if it is needed that the plan should generate orders
it needs to be scheduled either in background job or needs manually executed.
Can a service order be generated automatically without running IP30 if we have scheduled a maintenance plan?
Yes, you can get a service order (PM Order) against this plant maintenance order with control key as PM03 you can get PR from PR. You can get service order again here MM integration if the auto PO concept used then auto PO (service order) gets generated.
But if you want to avoid lengthy process you can use IP10.
During each IP10 run if call falls within the date you will get maintenance call object that is PM order -
------> PR -----> PO
PM Order -----> FO (Frame Work Order)
PM Order -----> Service Contract ------> Value / Qty
(These tab you will get in PM order operation header general data)
