The task of entering spare parts data into an ERP or maintenance system should not be underestimated. Experience has shown that entering the data into an ERP system and creating the link between the spare parts and the equipment takes nearly as much time as the complete review of the SPIRs. To prepare the SPIRs for uploading, Vendor Data, Tag numbers (Functional Locations in SAP) and Material Groups need to be added to the SPIR data. The program provides many facilities for this purpose. Uploading facilities have been developed to transfer SPIR data to SAP, Pacer and CMT (Catalogue Management Tool). When the data are uploaded into an ERP system the links between the equipment and the spare parts will be maintained. Several EPC contractors using the E-SPIR program have developed uploading facilities for automatic ordering of the spare parts.
