Object List (SAP Library - Customer Service (CS))

Object List

Definition

List of objects (equipment, functional locations, notifications, materials with serial number) which have been assigned to a notification, order or a maintenance item.

Use

The object list is a central part of the order. You use it to assign technical objects, notifications or objects, which are identified by a combination of material and serial numbers, to the order.

When you make entries in the object list for an order, you are linking it to the objects you enter. When you make entries in the object list for an order, you are linking it to the objects you enter.

Note

Even if no reference object has been entered for the order on the header data screen, you can still assign technical objects, notifications or objects, which are identified by a combination of material and serial numbers, to the order in the object list.

Structure

Two features are available for the object list:

An object list, in which you can enter technical objects (equipment, functional locations, assemblies) and notifications
An object list, in which you can enter objects, which are identified by a combination of material and serial numbers, and notifications

Which of these two versions is used in the order depends on:

The choice of reference object in the notification/order
The view setting for the Reference object frame in the notification/order

If you create the order with reference to a notification, for which a reference object has been entered, the system copies the reference object from the notification as the reference object for the order. The system writes the notification number in the order header and in the object list for the order.

You can group together several notifications that can be processed together using a "worklist for notifications" for a maintenance or service order. In this case, the notifications are also included in the object list of the order. For more information, see Completion Confirmation.

Operations in an order that have not been assigned to an object in the object list can be assigned, or existing assignments can be changed. You can find further information under Change Operational Assignment of Object List Entries.
