The equipment monitor supplies the manager with information on the devices that are assigned to his or her area of responsibility (such as PCs, monitors, and so on). The devices can be assets from the Asset Accounting component, equipment from the Plant Maintenance component, and objects on loan from the Human Resources component.

The costs that were gathered on the assigned maintenance or internal orders are displayed for equipment and assets. To make rapid data access possible, you can determine costs in the background by using the functions Prepare Cost Determination and Execute Cost Determination (in Customizing under Start of the navigation path Integration with Other mySAP.com Components Next navigation step Business Packages/Functional Packages Manager Self-Service (mySAP ERP) Equipment Monitor) End of the navigation path .
