Use

This function enables you to:

When a periodic replacement list is created, all installed devices are included whose periodic replacement year is before or the same as the specified periodic replacement year.

The periodic replacement year is then obtained by adding the last certification year (in the device master record) and the calibration validity (in the device category master record).

If a device is allocated to an official lot, the periodic replacement year of that device is specified when the lot is terminated. If a device has been allocated to an internal lot, this is not taken into account during determination of the periodic replacement year for that device.

SAP recommends that you create periodic replacement lists in background jobs. You can select this option before you create a list.

Integration

You can create work orders or notifications for the devices once the periodic replacement list has been created. To do this choose, Create Work Orders or Notifications .

Prerequisites

Only devices that have been installed and certified can be placed on the periodic replacement list. The devices for this installation process must be already certified.

Features

When you create a periodic replacement list, the list for the current year is always cleaned up first. This means that all devices are removed from the list that have not yet been removed or for which no orders or notifications have been created yet. Subsequently, all devices with the periodic replacement year in question are included in the list. If desired, you can create the list only for devices of a specific division category.

When you extend the list for a year, you use additional specifications (see below).

You can combine these two steps if you make additional specifications when you create the list.

You can also specify the following:

Within one line, these specifications restrict one another (logical AND). Several lines have the effect of an extension (logical OR).

If you add devices to the list that have an advanced replacement year, you cannot use additional specifications. Adding such devices to the list is only a manual extension.

Before you create or extend a list, a saved variant must exist. A variant contains all parameters for executing the function.

If devices belong to an official lot and the lot is terminated before the replacement list is created, then the devices of that lot are automatically included in the list. However, if the lot is terminated after the periodic replacement list is created and the lot devices for this year are to be included in the list, then you must add those devices after the list has been created.

A statistics or error log is created when a list is created or extended. You can also display these logs after executing Transaction SLG1 (Object: IUEG, Sub-Object REP_STAT or REP_ERROR).
