Purpose

An installed base consists of header data and components. You can create as many different components as you require for each installed base and assign as many sub-components to them as you want. This means that you can create an installed base structure with as many nodes as you require.

Note

You can include another installed base as a component in installed bases. However, this is only a link to these installed bases. For example, it would be feasible to include all the installed bases for a customer under a new, superior installed base.

Note

You can also create your own installed bases. You define installed base categories using transaction sm30 in view V_T371A. If you create your own categories, you define the valid object types using transaction sm30 in view V_T371U.

Prerequisites

Each component (equipment, functional location, material, document) must already exist as a master record in the system.

Process Flow

  1. You create an installed base of a certain category.
  2. The system assigns a sequential number.
  3. You enter the necessary header data for managing the installed base.
  4. You create the components by entering the equipment, material, document number, or functional location labeling.
  5. The system creates an installed base structure.
  6. If you want to create subordinate components for a component, you must select this component. Then enter the equipment, material, document number, or functional location labeling of the subordinate components.

Result

A multi-level installed base structure is created. You can now:
