Document Management for Technical Objects 

Use

Information about technical objects that are to be maintained can also exist in the form of documents (for example, design drawings, programs or photographs). Documents are managed, visualized and archived in the document management system as master records.

As documents are frequently required during the execution of maintenance tasks, you can directly link the document master records with the master record of the technical object. By using the corresponding application or a view program, almost every document can be made available at the work centers concerned.

Prerequisites

Your system administrator has made the necessary settings in Customizing for Cross-Application Components under Document Management System.

Features

You can do the following:

●      Link master records of technical objects to documents

●      Display linked documents from master records of the technical objects

You can also display documents that you linked to technical objects (equipment, functional location, assembly) from the transaction for the maintenance order. The prerequisite for this is that the technical objects are assigned to the maintenance order as reference objects. For more information, see Document Assignments.
