Welcome to the tutorial about Material Withdrawal for SAP PM Order. This tutorial is a lesson in our free SAP PM training course. Material withdrawal is necessary for conducting maintenance tasks. For example, maintenance specialists may need to withdraw some spare parts from the stock to perform the required works. After following this tutorial you will learn how to perform planned and unplanned material withdrawal for SAP PM orders.

The execution phase of SAP maintenance order processing involves withdrawal of planned and unplanned material from plant stock which is required to complete the maintenance operation. It also involves the actual execution of maintenance order means releasing of maintenance order. With the help of “Where used” list you can find out the spare part location across the plants.

Material Withdrawal in SAP PM Order

In this process, the maintenance technician can withdraw planned and unplanned materials from stock against SAP maintenance order. The technician withdraws the material from plant stock to execute the operations. There are two types of withdrawals:

  • Perform a planned withdrawal of stock material
  • Perform an unplanned withdrawal of stock material

When a material is withdrew, the goods movement happens. This goods movement for a maintenance order is displayed in the document flow of the SAP PM order.

The reservation for material components is automatically created when SAP maintenance order is created. The reserved material for operation cannot be issued from stock unless the order is released.

  • If you have a requirement qty greater then Withdrawn qty and you get a "Component already withdrawn" error. You are able to change the Req Qty to equal the withdrawn Qty and then add a new line for the difference to backflush that quantity without error. The backflush still needs to be migo'd through 261 after backflush flag is removed from the added component line in the work order BOM.
