Logbook

Logbook has the following enhancements:

  • ALV grid enhancements in component list

    • Storage location and plant

      You can enter the details of the storage location and plant in the ALV grid rather than branching to Change Maintenance Order (transaction IW32) . The storage location entered is validated against the plant and the material. You must enter a storage location when you post a component.

    • Special stock indicator

      In the ALV grid, you can assign a special stock indicator to a component. In the materials management process, special stock types are used for different business scenarios, for example, customer aircraft maintenance and consignment stock usages. Fields like WBS Element, Sales Order Number and Vendor Account Number are also linked with the special stock type. These fields are displayed in the ALV grid if you have assigned a special stock indicator is assigned to a component. The type of special stock indicator determines whether you can edit the respective field in the ALV grid.

    • Option to add and/or modify customer-specific fields

      You can add and/or modify customer-specific fields in the same way as the other fields in the ALV grid. The values mentioned in the customer-specific fields are stored in the database.

    You can change the processing mode of the logbook application from Display to Change and vice versa for all the application objects at the same time.

  • Display warranty details of technical object in a log notification

    You can view the master warranty details of a technical object attached to the log notification at any time while processing the defect.

  • Collective search help for revision

    You can search an appropriate revision for a log notification using the following search helps:

    • Revision by technical object

    • Revision by work center

    • Revision by selection screen.

  • Archiving within Logbook

    In the maintenance and repair overhaul (MRO) business many PM/CS notifications and orders are created daily which can affect system performance over time. To improve this, you can archive the notifications and orders. The archived notifications and orders can be handled within Logbook.
