Maintain
network types
The network type contains information for
controlling and managing networks.
In the SAP System, the network is a special
form of the
work order which has a structure in common with production,
maintenance and inspection orders.
Every network you create must have a network
type allocated to it.
The network type determines:
- the CO (controlling) partner
update
With the indicator,
you specify whether a summary record should be written per network if a CO
partner object (for example, cost center) is settled with a network of this
type.
- whether the network is used for planning and
does not add to the assigned values
- residence times 1 and 2 for the archival and
deletion of networks
- a default value for a
status profile , if you want to use the user status in status
management
- allocation of the network type to a number
range
You have to allocate
a number range to every network type.
Note
In addition to the general parameters at plant
level, the network also requires parameters at plant level, showing, for
example, whether the network is header-assigned or activity assigned. You
maintain these parameters in the step "Define parameters for
networks".
Requirements
You must have already processed the menu option
"Number range".
Default
Settings
Network types are created in the standard SAP
R/3 System.
Actions
1. Classify the
orders with regard to their distinguishing features (for example, order
category, number range, and so on).
2. If
necessary, define network types to meet your own requirements.
