Deactivating Master Records
Use
You use this function if:
The technical object has been scrapped but you want to keep its data in the system for statistical reasons.
This could be the case for an piece of equipment or a functional location.
There are no more objects that refer to the master record, but you wish to keep the master record data in the system for statistical reasons.
This could be the case for reference functional locations.
You want to plan a structure in your system, but the structure is not yet under construction.
This could be the case for reference functional locations, functional locations and pieces of equipment.
Key Features
You can carry out and reverse a deactivation at any time.
Generally, when a master record is deactivated this means that maintenance of the master record itself is still possible, however, no new transaction data can be entered for the master record.
This means, for example, that no new notifications or orders can be entered for a functional location or a piece of equipment and that no new functional locations can be allocated to a reference functional location. Transaction data that already exists for technical objects can, however, still be processed and closed.
