Usage times are created by the system for every piece of equipment. They describe certain equipment data (for example, at which functional location it is installed, to which cost center it is assigned or which maintenance planner group is responsible for the piece of equipment).
If you change certain fields defined in the system, the system completes the existing equipment usage period and creates a new one which contains the changed data. This occurs, for example, when you install the piece of equipment at a new functional location, or when you assign it to a new cost center.
You can display the usage periods of a piece of equipment in its master record in list form.
Using the Customizing function, you can specify the conditions under which the system should create new equipment usage periods.
