Plant Maintenance (PM)

Number of a material master record that is entered in the master record of a piece of equipment or functional location. This entry marks technical objects as being parts with the same construction.

The construction type can

• serve as an anchor for bills of material and task lists

You can avoid defining these separately for each technical object and define them instead for the material. They are then valid for each technical object to which the material has been assigned in the master record.

• determine the selection of replacement equipment for a functional location

Note that the only piece of equipment that can be installed at this functional location is a piece of equipment with a particular material number in its master record.
