Use

This function allows you to create devices in the Utilities Industry (IS-U) component. For each device, a master record with IS-U-specific data is created in addition to a corresponding piece of equipment in the Plant Maintenance (PM) application component.

Integration

This function uses many functions from the Plant Maintenance (PM) application component.

Prerequisites

You have created the appropriate device category for the device.

Features

You can create devices

You do this by using the Create material serial number function in PM that was enhanced for IS-U.

The device is only created as a piece of equipment, but the material stock in the Inventory Management (MM-IM) application component is not updated.

You can create several devices simultaneously via list editing.

You can create any number of devices with different device categories.

The material stock is updated accordingly.

You can assign any default entries to the fields in the Create IS-U data dialog box, which appears when you create a device. To do this, use function module EXIT-SAPLE10R_002 in enhancement EDME10L1.

You can now use function module EXIT_SAPLIPW1_008 from enhancement IQSM0008 when you create a material serial number and equipment. This means that every time you create a device, the corresponding combination of material and serial number undergoes further user-defined checks.
