Idle time can be captured during confirmations or through PM Breakdown notifications.This Blog is
regarding a workaround solution for capturing the production idle time by production department.

Requirement:

During production process machine is idle for various reasons like machine repairs,no power etc.
With reference to the machine and reason code machine total idle time needs to be recorded along
with start date, start time, end date and end time.

Approach:

Each Machine is created as Equipment. Production Work center is assigned to equipment and PM
Notification concept is used to capture the Idle time with required reason codes and times.

Configuration:

Path: Plant Maintenance and Customer Service – Maintenance and Service Processing –
Maintenance and Service Notifications -Overview of Notification Type

Created Notification IT of type 01 -Maintenance Notification as displayed below


Included only two tabs as given below

Changed the Tab header description as required to be displayed. Here option to add icon is also
available.
QS41 – Reason codes
Master Data:

Assigning Work Center to Equipment.

Equipment created in IE01 and production work center assigned as shown below in IE02 (Change
Equipment)

Process Steps:
Create and Complete Notification ( IW21):

Below screen appears. Select Notification of Type IT

Enter the Equipment Number and put F4 under Code group to display the reason codes.

Select the reason code


Enter the Total Idle Hours under Activity text, Start Date, Start Time, End Date and End Time as
displayed below
If we click on Location data Tab Production Work Center assigned to the equipment will be
displayed.

Click on Release Flag to release the notification.

Click on Complete Flag to complete the notification.

Enter the reference date, time and click on continue.


Notification 100000023 got created, Idle Time got recorded and Notification completed in system.

Once Notification is completed status changed to NOCO and further changes are not allowed as
displayed below.

Reports:

IW64 – List of Notifications with Type IT will display all the idle time notifications.

Time event confirmation

Purpose
In this section we will see through the basics of time event confirmation.

Overview
In the first part it will be described how to make a time event confirmation, then an example calculation related to KBA
1576702 (see below) will be shown.

Time event confirmation

 Transaction: CO19
 this type of confirmation does not confirm the whole order or operation, its main focus is the processing itself
 it must be added, at which point the processing started and ended

Setting of the standard values


Transaction CO02 - operation overview-details -> StandardVals tab -> Setup time has been defined
Entering the confirmation
CO19 -> Start of setup and insert order number + operation
CO19 -> Actual data -> Personnel No.: effect on HR update or on documentation; it is possible to insert here a number
without handing over to HR

CO19 -> Actual data -> Start setup: it is set automatically to system date, but it can be set to a past date

CO19-> Finish setup and insert order number + operation -> Save
Displaying the confirmation

Transaction CO14 - choose the confirmations-details -> Start of setup >>> next page: Finish setup
Characteristics of time event confirmation
CO19 -> Start processing and insert order number + operation

- start processing is always a partial confirmation (PCNF)

- by end processing there is a possibility to set partial or final confirmation (it is possible to post additional
confirmations even if the confirmation is final confirmed)

CO19 -> Finish processing and insert order number + operation

- it is not possible to post in the future!

- it is possible to add more than one start and finish processing (e.g. 3 different workers , waiting time)

- yields and quantities can only be inserted in (finish) processing, but in the setup and teardown not

Status of the order in time event confirmation


 Transaction CO03-operation details -> System status: PCNF (because the start of processing was posted with status partial)
 the system uses always the last confirmation to check which status the operation needs to get (CO14: we can see whether
the confirmations are finally confirmed, the last confirmation is partial confirmed, that’s why the system status in CO03 is
PCNF)

Example: the highest confirmation needs to be reflected in the status

Solution: it is NOT possible in standard; customers need to add an own logic

Calculation for KBA 1576702


Example: start and end processing are set and normally the system calculates between the start and the end date, but it is
not correct

e.g. start setup was at 10:00:00 and finish setup was at 11:00:00

>>> EXPECTED in CO03-operation-details > Qties/Activities tab -> Confirmed activities: 00:60:00

<<< DESPITE ’53,33 min’ Is displayed

Solution: problem is in the work center! Transaction CR02-header -> Standard available capacity

e.g. there are machines which run 8 hours, it cannot be stopped, the worker can define when would like to have a break, for
example half an hour at 10 and half an hour at 1 or 1 hour at lunchtime but there is a requirement to define I have not fixed
break time and it is displayed here: CR02-header -> Standard available capacity -> Intervals and shifts button (huge and
detailed timeframe); if customer doesn’t have intervals and shifts, then it cannot be said when there should be exactly the
break and this leads to calculation 53,33 >>> the break time is always divided to the confirmed hours

If the customer doesn’t want, that the break time calculated, a shift model is need to be defined.
Example with numbers

in CO19 confirm:

Start of Setup 13.08.2013 10:00:00

Finish Setup 13.08.2013 10:30:00

And then:

Start of Proc. 13.08.2013 10:45:00

Fin. Processing 13.08.2013 11:26:34

in CO03 the results:

If we calculate

Start of Proc. 13.08.2013 10:45:00

Fin. Processing 13.08.2013 11:26:34

we have 41 min 34 sec, this is 2494 sec = 41,5666 min = 0,6927 hrs.

The system calculates 0,616 hr as in work center, where 8-17 and 1 hour break is definied.
So calculation: 540 min need 60 min break (work center base) and confirmed was 41,566 min >>> 60*41,566 / 540 = 4,618
min break

So the 41,566 min confirmed has a calculated break time of 4,618 min, so we have real time without break 41,566 – 4,618 =
36,984 min = 0,616 hrs
