Assignments to Maintenance Objects 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).

The following functions are available:
Assignment between force element and master equipment (object type EQ)
You can
assign
technical objects managed as master equipment to a force element. The system displays the assignment in the
Structures Workbench
on the
Technical Objects
tab page.
Assignment between force element and responsible work center (object type LA)
You can assign a responsible work center (object type LA) to a force element. To do so, select the required work center in the application

HR Assignment
to assign it to the organizational unit that forms the basis of the required force element.

. The assignment between an HR work center and a position is displayed in the selection area in the
Structures Workbench
.
