Calibration of test equipment

Can anyone guide how to use calibration process in SAP for test equipments such as weighing scales,etc.

For the calibration of the equipments, PM-QM route can be used. Create equipments, category "Q", create maintenance plan, task list or measuring points ,create maint order-inspection lot. update calibration results in order/ lot. complete order/ UD of lot.

Can you pls clarify the following:

1. What is category "Q"..

2. You have mentioned “task list or measuring points”.
What is a measuring point? Are measuring points to be created compulsory..
What are the advantages of using measuring points?
Do we have to use either measuring point or task list or both.
What should be the Usage for task list? Do we have to create task list thru QP01

3. When do you see the inspection lot for calibration.. is it after release of
maint order..how can we display insp lot..

4. Is result recording / UD to be made thru QE01 / QA11..pls confirm.
How do you update calibration results in order / lot and complete the lot..

5. What master data needs to be created from QM side for calibration of test
equipment?
I think PM guy has to create equipments, measuring points, maint order.
Am I correct?

Umesh I have asked you many questions & I am sorry for this inconvenience.
I am really short on time and will appreciate if you can address these clarifications.

1. Category Q is for the “Test Equipment”

2. No it’s not compulsory to create measuring points you can do with task list (Create Task with T-code IA05 – general task list for maintenance only difference you will see from inspection plan is that you have to give Maint. Package i.e. frequency & use order type PM05 in plan & in task list give inspection point 300 & usage 4 (four)

3. Inspection lots are generated based upon your frequency set in the Maintenance plan & Task list, you can see the lot only after you have done maint plan scheduling (T-code IP10)

4. Result recording will be done through QE17 or qe53 here select the lot origin 14 & for UD qa11

5. Master data will be

a) Equipment (ie01)
b) MIC’s (QS21)
c) Task list (IA05)
d) Maint. Plan (IP01)
e) Scheduling (IP10)

Hope this helps you

If you have PM module ask any PM guy he can tell you better on screen

Thanks for your detailed reply.
Can I bother you with two more questions:
1. You have mentioned to create Task list thru IA05..and to give inspection point 300 & usage 4 (four) in task list ..Is this to be given in the IA05 or other T code.Do we have to use Maint task list as well as Inspection plan..
2. Do updatation of calibration results in order / lot happens automatically after QA11..

Thanks in advance,

Yes you have to provide all these details in IA05 , in this case we create maintenance plan not the inspection plan in the maint. Plan (ip01) you have to assign equipment & the task list & if default order type is come PM02 change it to the PM05

Here you have no concern with the maintenance order on taking UD (QA11) the order gets completed. Results will not pass to the order they will remain in inspection lot only status of order changes to compete

Hope your point are clear
