Displaying the Actual Configuration

Use

In the configuration control workbench, you can display the actual configuration of a technical object as a tree structure. The actual configuration shows the current hierarchy structure of the technical object and is composed of functional locations, equipment, equipment BOM items (non-serialized parts), and structure gaps .

You can do the following:

  • Load the overall actual configuration of an object

  • Filter particular objects and thus only partially load the actual configuration of an object

In addition, you can display detailed information for the individual objects of the tree.

Prerequisites

You have maintained an equipment hierarchy or a mixed hierarchy of functional locations and equipment for the technical object concerned.

If you filter certain objects and only want to partially load the actual configuration, your definition of the BADI_CCM_EXPLOSION Business Add-Ins (BAdI) must be active.

Procedure

  1. Choose Start of the navigation path Logistics Next navigation step Plant Maintenance Next navigation step Technical Objects Next navigation step Configuration Control Next navigation step Configuration Control Workbench End of the navigation path from the SAP Easy Access screen.

    The Configuration Control Workbench screen is displayed :

  2. If you want to display the hierarchy of a functional location, choose Functional Location in the list field.

    If you want to display an equipment hierarchy, choose Equipment in the list field.

  3. Enter a functional location or a piece of equipment and choose Load .

    Example Example

    If you have activated an implementation of the BADI_CCM_EXPLOSION BAdI, you can see two different functions: Load and Enhanced Load. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service under Start of the navigation path Business Add-Ins Next navigation step Configuration Control. End of the navigation path

    End of the example.

    The desired equipment or functional location is displayed in the navigation area of the configuration control workbench.

Navigation Functions

The following functions are available for navigating within the actual configuration:

Symbol

Function

Loads the overall subtree of the selected object with all the subordinate levels.

Compresses the subtree of the selected object.

Text-based search by any object of your choice in the navigation area

Prints the whole hierarchy

Creates a structure gap

Displays a detail view of the selected object

Loads the next level that is subordinate to the selected object

Loads the subordinate level of the selected object within the same hierarchy

Loads all the objects that are on the same level as the selected object, and all the superordinate levels up to the top-level element in the hierarchy within the same hierarchy

Note Note

Equipment that is linked with iPPE access nodes of the master parts list is displayed in red and can be used as reference equipment for an overall configuration check .

End of the note.
Detail Data for Functional Locations

In the Details for Functional Location screen area, you can find the name of the selected functional location.

Detail Data of Equipment

In the Details for Equipment screen area, you can find important information about the selected equipment:

  • Material and serial number

  • Function identifier , if maintained

  • iPPE access nodes and variants, if the equipment concerned is linked with an iPPE access node of the allowed configuration.

  • Superordinate object

    You can also enter the function identifier of the equipment in the screen area with the details.

Detail Data of Equipment BOM Item

In the Details for Equipment BOM Item screen area, you can find important information about the selected non-serialized material:

  • Material number

  • Function identifier, if maintained

  • Item number

  • Quantity

  • Superordinate object

You can also enter the function identifier of the equipment in the screen area with the details.

Detail Data of Structure Gaps for Equipment and Equipment BOM Items

The Details for Structure Gaps screen area contains important data about the selected structure gap:

  • Either the functional location or the piece of superordinate equipment where a part is missing

  • Function identifier, if maintained

  • Equipment number, in the event that the structure gap was created as a result of an equipment removal (only applicable for structure gaps replacing equipment)

  • Quantity (only applicable for structure gaps replacing equipment BOM items)

  • Item number (only applicable for structure gaps replacing equipment BOM items)

    You can also enter the function identifier of the equipment in the screen area with the details.
