Assignment of a Person to an Operation 

Use

You use this function to assign a person to an operation - the person who should execute the operation or who should be informed about processing of the operation.

Prerequisites

The person is managed in Personnel Management.

The assignment does not depend on whether there are capacity requirements records for the operation.

Prerequisites for a Default Value

In certain situations, it is advisable to have the system propose a personnel number in the operation.

In a company, a technician is assigned to each piece of equipment. The technician is responsible for preventive maintenance and maintenance of the equipment. Each technician is entered in the equipment master record as a partner with the function "Person responsible". If an order is created for this equipment, the system should automatically propose the technician responsible in the order header and in the operation.

For the system to propose a personnel number in the operation, the following prerequisites must be met:

· In the Customizing for Plant Maintenance, a default value is entered in the Header funct. (partner function for the order header) field by choosing Assign partner determination procedure to order types.

For example, this default value can be the partner function "Person responsible" or the partner function "Responsible". Entries can now be made in the relevant field for orders of this order type.

· In one of the following objects assigned to the order, a person is entered as a partner:

- Reference object

- Notification

- Work center

The function of this partner corresponds to the function which was entered in the Customizing for Plant Maintenance by choosing Assign partner determination procedure to order types in the Header funct. (partner function for the order header) field.

· The person who was entered as the partner in the reference object, notification or work center is managed with a personnel number in Personnel Management.

If all the prerequisites have been met, the system proposes an entry, in the field for the person responsible in the Responsibilities section of the order header, which you can overwrite if necessary. It then also proposes this entry in the Personnel number field in the operation.

Subsequent changes of the partner do not overwrite the person entered in the operation.

A change to the person entered in the operation has no effect on the tasks of the partner.

Features

In addition to the work center, you enter the personnel number of the person in the required operation on the Internal tab page. It is possible here to enter a person who does not work on the work center entered.

Entering a person does not have any effect on the capacity requirements records that are generated by the system on the requirements assignment screen.

You can use the field as a selection criterion for operations. It is also available in the completion confirmation.
