I settle WBS ( Work Breakdown Structure) 

Finance Site SBS:

SU MAC processes  the settlements of the three items below respecting the given time table:

  • PM-orders,
  • WBS-elements,
  • CO-orders, 

The processing includes dealing with the generated messages. SU MAC investigates the reasons for error messages, looks for modifications and corrections if possible, and restarts settlements if needed.

  • If an error blocks further processing and cannot be solved by SU MAC, the issue must be communicated to a contact in the area of plant maintenance.
  • After having received the solution and corrections, SU MAC acts by launching a second time the corresponding transactions.
  • Furthermore, SU MAC checks if the orders and the WBS treated in this procedure are completely settled.

Responsibilities of other functions:

  • The processing of PM-orders and WBS-elements for maintenance and fixed asset operations can lead to a result with technical errors.
  • In this case SU MAC must contact the local plant maintenance team, which is responsible for making the necessary corrections


Based on group core rules, all costs for maintenance and investment for fixed assets must be posted on special orders, created in the module of plant maintenance (PM). The cost of the orders are allocated to define maintenance and investment projects, created in the project system and defined in a hierarchy – work breakdown structure (WBS), where actual and budget figures can be compared.
