 Installing/Dismantling Equipment from the Functional Location Master Record

Use

You can define for a functional location whether:

  • No pieces of equipment can be installed

  • Only one piece of equipment can be installed

  • Several pieces of equipment can be installed

For this reason, the functions for installing and dismantling pieces of equipment include the possibility of installing or dismantling several pieces of equipment simultaneously at a functional location.

When can you Install/Dismantle?

You can call up the transaction for installing/dismantling when you create a functional location. However, you can only install the piece of equipment at the functional location if the equipment master record already exists in the system.

If all necessary master records exist in the system, you can represent an installation or dismantling that was carried out some time before its entry into the system. Date and time fields are provided to enable you to do this.

If you do not enter an installation or dismantling time, the system automatically enters the date and valid system time.

What are the Consequences of Installing/Dismantling?

When you install a piece of equipment, the system - if it is set up accordingly - creates a new entry in the equipment usage list. This contains the current data for the piece of equipment.

When the piece of equipment is dismantled, the system automatically closes the current entry in the equipment usage list and enters the date and time of dismantling. It also creates a new entry containing the new equipment data.
