Assignments to Maintenance Objects 

Use

You link the organizational objects force element and position to maintenance objects (master equipment and logistics work center) in order to control maintenance processes. In particular, you can use these relationships to:

·        Identify performing work centers

The performing work center defines which position (or person) is to perform the maintenance tasks in the operations for a maintenance order.

·        Identify responsible work centers

The responsible work center defines which organizational element (or subordinate objects) is responsible for ensuring that the maintenance tasks for a maintenance order are carried out by the performing work centers for the individual operations.

·        Forward notifications or orders

·        Relocate technical objects

The organizational objects force element and position are integrated in maintenance processes by assignments to master equipment (object type EQ) and logistics work centers (object type LA).
