Use this activity to create a new maintenance organization. A maintenance organization has several different functions. For example, employees are connected to maintenance organizations for organizational purposes. Also, maintenance organizations are defined on PM actions, work orders, work task templates etc, to indicate who is responsible for executing a work order, or a task on a work order.
For each maintenance organization, you can enter an hourly rate which is the internal personnel cost related to using a resource from this maintenance organization. This rate is used to estimate the personnel cost when preparing a work order, a PM action or a work task template, if resource group is not specified. The hourly rate for maintenance organization is also used when reporting time on a work order and when a Resource Group is not defined on the time report line.
You can also connect maintenance organizations to each other to form structures. From the navigator Organization Basic Data, page Maintenance Organizations.
As a result of this activity, maintenance organizations will be created which are site dependent.
