Changing the Maintenance Plant

Prerequisites

It may be necessary to change the maintenance plant for a piece of equipment. For example when it is to be installed at a functional location which is in another maintenance plant, or when it is to be used in another maintenance plant from now on.

However, you can only change the maintenance plant for a piece of equipment, when the piece of equipment is no longer installed at a functional location.

Changing a maintenance plant has the following consequences:

The system automatically clears all fields of the master record that are dependent on the maintenance plant.

A change of maintenance plant can result in a change of company code, which causes the system to clear all fields that are dependent on the company code.

The company code change can produce a change in the controlling area, which means that the system clears all fields dependent on the controlling area.

Procedure

Select the equipment master record in the change mode, and go to the Location data screen.

Choose Edit ® Change MaintPlant.

The dialog box Change Maintenance Plant is displayed, in which you can enter the new maintenance plant.

Choose Continue.

The system issues a warning of the consequences of changing the maintenance plant. If you really do want to change the maintenance plant, choose Continue.

Save the changes to the master record.
