1. To budget for plant maintenance, you must create a dedicated cost center for each maintenance order so that costs are booked to the respective cost center. 2. You set up a budget profile in SAP SPRO to define the budget time frame, such as annually, and assign it to the cost center. 3. When creating maintenance orders, the budgeted, planned, and actual costs will be displayed and booked to the assigned cost center, allowing performance to be tracked against the annual budget.
