Announcements

An announcement is the information that a manufacturer communicates to an operator about an asset. For example, a change in an existing instruction, or an update to the spare parts of an item of equipment. SAP Asset Strategy and Performance Management allows you to create the following types of instructions:

• Instruction change: An announcement type communicated by the manufacturer when an instruction related to a model undergoes a change.

• Service Bulletin: An announcement type communicated by the manufacturer to indicate a change to the model due to safety, performance, or statutory reasons. The change is carried out by the operator. Example: change a part that has caused.
• New Policy: An announcement type communicated by the manufacturer that specifies a recommendation, or a guidance by the manufacturer to use an item of equipment or a model within a company.
• New Model: An announcement type communicated by the manufacturer to communicate availability of new, or improved models.
• Attachment Change: An announcement type communicated by the manufacturer to communicate when any documents, or drawings related to a model undergoes a change.
• Spare Parts Change: An announcement type communicated by the manufacturer when any spare parts related to the model undergoes a change. Example: manufacturer part number changed.
• Model Information Change: An announcement type communicated by the manufacturer when a model undergoes a change in its specification, or any relevant metadata of a model.
