Use

This function allows you to create work orders or notifications for:

Integration

You cannot create orders for periodic replacement devices if you have not already created a periodic replacement list. Also, you cannot create orders for sample devices or spare sample devices if you have not already carried out the sampling procedure.

Prerequisites

Selection options for devices from the periodic replacement list are either:

Before you can create orders, you must allocate order codes to order profiles in Customizing for work management. To do this, choose  Work Management Processing Define order codes . For devices from the periodic replacement list, use the order code PREP, for sample devices or spare sample devices, use order code SAMP.

Before you can create notifications, you must allocate notification codes to order profiles in Customizing for work management. To do this, choose  Work Management Processing Define Notification Codes .

Features

When you create replacement orders for devices from the periodic replacement list, you can select devices from the list using a periodic replacement year. You can limit the selection using the following criteria:

For regional selections, several lines have the effect of a logical OR, meaning the selection is extended.

When you create replacement orders for devices from sample lots, you can differentiate between sample devices, spare sample devices or first and second drawing.

Each time you create an order, you can specify the basic start and end date. These dates are transferred to the SM order and used in scheduling.

You can also specify a default value for the maintenance planning plant. This value is used for determining the order profile if the system cannot determine the maintenance planning plant internally.

If you wish to replace all devices in a device location, you can use Replace all dev. of dev. loc. You can restrict your selection by specifying one or more divisions. Replacement orders are then created for all devices in the relevant device locations in the divisions specified.

It is also possible to carry out an interval check for all devices determined. During an interval check, the system determines whether a meter reading is scheduled for a given device after the scheduled order date. Further processing is dependent upon the Display date overlap indicator. If you set this indicator, you receive a list of all devices for which the meter reading interval check resulted in overlapping dates. The list specifies whether a replacement order is to be created for the device or whether only an entry in the statistics log is to be made. If you do not set this indicator, a message is written to the statistics log for each device with overlapping of dates.

If you create orders for devices that can only be certified while installed, then you must define a separate order code for these devices. This order code must be allocated to the appropriate order profile in Customizing. You then allocate the newly defined order code to the device category of these devices. This means that the allocated order code is used for all devices of this device category instead of the order code PREP or SAMP. You can also define this allocation at the device level. In this case, a separate order code is allocated to a single device.

A statistics or error log is created each time work orders are created. You can also display these logs after executing the transaction or via transaction SLG1 (object IUEG, sub-objects WO_STAT or WO_ERROR).
