Creating a Piece of Equipment

Prerequisites

Before you create a master record for a piece of equipment, you must know the following:

How are the equipment numbers assigned?

Internally, meaning automatically by the system
Externally, meaning manually, possibly according to a company-specific system

Do you have to enter equipment descriptions according to a particular company-specific method, in order to simplify the search process?

Procedure

In the main menu, choose Logistics ® Plant maintenance ® Technical objects.

The screen Technical Objects is displayed.

Choose Equipment ® Create.

The initial screen is displayed.

Make all the necessary entries.

If you want to use another piece of equipment or material as a reference for the new piece of equipment, enter its number in the block Reference.

Choose Continue.

If you have specified a piece of equipment as a reference, the system displays a dialog box, in which you specify which data of the reference equipment should be copied to the new equipment. Then choose Continue and you return to the screen General Data.

Make all the necessary entries in this screen.

Select further master data screens, such as the location and maintenance data, serialization or partner data screens.

Make all the required entries in these screens too.

If you want to classify the equipment master record, choose Goto ® Classification. You go to the classification processing function.

Save the master record.
