Locations

A location in SAP Asset Strategy and Performance Management corresponds to a virtual record of the location where an equipment is installed.

Using the Locations application, you can create a location and assign it to your item of equipment. This assignment is made based on the functionality of the items of equipment.

A location is based on a template and allows users to add values to the definitions used in the underlying template.
