Define Field Selection for the Equipment Master Record

In this step, you can define the field selection for the equipment master record.

The fields offered here are common data fields for functional locations and equipment.

These fields are found in the following objects:

In the second setting, you can define the field selection for the fields which are only found in the equipment master record.

Recommendation

When you select the affected fields, you see a list of fields which enable you to make an object-related field selection.

You can, for example, define that a different field selection is valid for selected equipment categories than for certain categories of functional location.

Note

General Information on Field Selection

All screens, for which a field selection is possible, are summarized into individual screen modification groups (e.g. all detail screens for the confirmation of a maintenance order).

Modifiable and influencing fields are defined for each screen modification group:

If, for example, in the list and detail screens of the confirmation in the order, you specify that the work center is a required entry, you must maintain the work center for all confirmations.
