Creating Measuring Points and Counters 

Prerequisites

Definition of Measuring Point Categories

Before you can create measuring points and counters in the system, you must first define the measuring point categories that are valid for your system using the Customizing function.

Creating Characteristics

Next, you must ensure that the characteristics that you want to assign to the measuring points and counters, were created using the classification system. You can access characteristics within the framework of measuring point and counter processing, using the following menu paths:

For more information on how to process characteristics, see the SAP documentation MM - Characteristics.

Creating Code Groups

If you want to qualitatively evaluate measurement and counter readings, the code groups you specify in the master records of measuring points and counters for this purpose must have been created in the system.

For more information on how to process code groups, see the SAP documentation PM -Maintenance Notifications.
