Object Types (SAP Library - Configuration Management (LO-CM))

Object Types

You can include objects of the following object types in a configuration folder:

Material

Document

Material BOM

Project definition
WBS element
Network operation
Serial number

On the Material tab page you can assign a serial number to a material in order to individually distinguish a particular piece from all other pieces of the material. A prerequisite for this is that a combination of material number and serial number already exists in the system.

Equipment (only as controlled object)
Installation

The Baselining processes is supported for the objects in bold.

Caution

Configuration Management supports various processes in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). Remember that not all object types can be used sensibly in all processes and life cycle phases.

For example, the objects from projects systems can be used in the framework of Collaborative Engineering & Project Management, however, they can not be fixed in all Baselines.
