Change of Device Category of a Device

Hi
Can anyone help me about the convenient process so that device category of device can be changed.
Actually, my requirement is as follows:
1. User creates a device E1 (External number range) under device category D1. Equipment and serial number are synchronous so equipment E1 is created automatically.
2. Afterwards user found that device E1 is wrongly created under device category D1, it should be created under device category D2.
So, what is the convenient process to do that. Shall I delete the equipment E1 through standard process then again create E! under device category D2 or any other way.
I am not also sure how to delete the equipment E1 so that I can use the same number again.
If there is any other convenient way, please share, else E1 number will be lost for ever if user mistakes at the time of creation.
Regards

hi,
as you would know that each combination of material and serial number is unigue in the system.
so if you create a device 'e1' in category 'd1' then you can also again create 'e1' in category 'd2'.
to your second question about deleting the device i guess you can try it from the database.i.e deleting the entry but this may lead to inconsistent data.
other way can be to either chnage the device category or the serial number.
For this go to trans. IQ02(change mode) ,goto tab 'edit>special serial number functions>change material number/change serial number'.
using this you can change device 'e1' from category 'd1' to category 'd2'.
note: after this 'e1' from category 'd1' is deleted..
i tried this before doing the installation ,so I have no idea whether it would work after installation of the device ,just try it out
hope this helps.
cheers,

  • Outbound interface - device modification/reversal & device category change.

    Hi Friends,
    I have a requirement to trigger an outbound interface in the event of device modification/reversal and device category change.I couldn't find any event which gets triggered upon device modification and reversal.There are 2 user exits - call customer '001' and call customer '002' provided by SAP.However,both these exits do not get triggered on device modification.For reversal,there is no exit provided by SAP.I have actually written a code within if....endif..statement in the Zinclude and had put a breakpoint in the Z include of both the device modification exits.None seem to work.
    Similarly there are no events/exits/BAdI's for device category change.I need to trigger the same outbound interface upon device category change.
    This brings me to the conclusion that there is no standard way to do an activity upon completion of device modification/reversal and device category change.There are no BAdI's as well.Change pointer activation could be one of the solution.Could you please suggest an alternative solution.
    Many thanks,
    Raj

    Hi Raj,
    Please check if the default BAdI interface IF_EX_ISU_IDE_DATEXCONNECT is triggered during device modifications / removal.
    Use the method IF_EX_ISU_IDE_DATEXCONNECT~DATEXCONNECT_BILLINGINST_CHNG to see if you can make use of it.
    Thanks,

  • FM/BAPI to update the rate category for the device/installation

    Hi,
    I need to update a new rate category for a device.
    Please let me know if there is BAPI/FM which will update the rate category for a device.
    Regards
    Shiva

    Hi Shiva,
    First of all, can you clarify if you want to update the rate category - Is it at the Installation Level or at the Device Level.
    For updating the rate category at the installation level, go to Business object INSTLN,and then make the necessary changes in Change Installation without dioalog.Pass the input parameters as required for the Method.

  • EG01 - incorrect type of measurement for device category

    Dear All,
    A device category has been created with the incorrect 'type of measurement' as '0 using transaction EG01'.
    This 'type of measurement' takes billing factor as zero resulting in wrong bills.
    Same is grayed out on transaction EG02.
    More than a 1000 meters have been created under device category. A few have already been installed.
    Can you please suggest how to change the 'type of measurment' to '3'.
    Thanks & Regards
    Malini

    Hi
    I guess you have created only for basic device category "Meter". Basic device category meter has direct measurment type property.Thats correct.
    If you are converting to type of measurment from 0 TO 3 .then it should basically a transformer.
    Thats the reson system not allowing.
    Try with Combination basic device category "meter/transformer"...it will come change mode..
    Thanks & Regards

  • Somehow I have 2 iCloud accounts...how do I change the account one of my devices is logged into?

    Somehow I have 2 iCloud accounts...How do I change the account one of my devices is logged into?

    If you are using your main account for iTunes, you should continue to do so, otherwise you will lose access to many of your purchased items made that account.
    You can delete the AOL account for iCloud only on your iPhone and first iPad, by going to settings > iCloud, scrolling down and hitting delete account button. You will then enter your me account details into the iCloud settings.
    When you delete your AOL account from the iCloud settings, the phone should give you the option of keeping your data on the phone, you need to make sure that you choose this option, and also choose the option to merge when you add your new account back.

  • HT3965 I got what appears to be a reconditioned (pre-owned) iPod Touch 4 for Christmas.  How can I change the Apple ID on tis device so I can use it with my iTunes Acct and Wi-Fi network?  Thanks.

    I received what appears to be a reconditioned iPod Touch 4th for Christmas.  How do I change the Apple ID on the device to my ID so I can use my iTunes account?  Thanks for any help/

    It would probably be best to attach the iPod to a computer and restore it. This way you'll know it's wiped clean. Then, when you start up the iPod it will ask you for your Apple ID.

  • While creating SAP ISU Device category i got one error message like The material 5 does not exist or is not activated Message no. M3305

    while creating SAP ISU Device category EG01 .i got one error message like The material 5 does not exist or is not activated Message no. M3305

    I don't know EG01 transaction, but if SAP says "material 5 does not exist " then SAP is usually right.
    Can you give an evidence that material 5 exists? e.g. screenshot from  SE16 at table MARA, MARC and MAST

    While creating a device category i'm getting an error "enter a valid division via eg01,how can the error be overcome?

    Neha,
    you can do in two ways.
    1. Enter a valid Division which you configured in the system.
    2. Remove the Division as required field. However I suggest it should have a valid division. Why can not you check with your Functional owner?

  • How do I change the order, in an IOS device, of iPhote Events?

    How do I change the order, in an IOS device, of iPhote Events.
    It seems sometimes they are in order by "Event Title" and sometimes they are in order by "Event Date". 
    I can change the order, as I please, in iPhoto on my Mac.
    But what controls the order in IOS devices is a mystery to me.
    Thoughts?

    That's not quite true. 
    There is a connection between the last sort order of the event in iPhoto.
    IPhoto allows events to be sorted in a number of ways.  The sort order in the IOS device is driven by this but I'm not sure how it works exactly.
    Yesterday, the events in the IOS device were in Date order as you suggested but today they are in Title order.
    Does anyone know the exact rules?

  • "Type of Device" in Device Category

    Hi,
    I could find "Only Device Info records Permitted; Multiple Ser. No. poss." as one of the options in the field "Type of Device" of
    the Device category.
    This means that system would allows us created only Device info Record for this device Category but same serial number can be used more than once.
    I like to know, in which cases, this option would be useful ?
    Regards,
    Sathyadeep

    Here is the answer,
    This option is used by the retailer, when devices of different distributors are used. So, there are chances for,  devices of  same category from different distributors,  having same serial number.
    But unfortunately, system allows to create same serial number device info records with same service provider  more than once. There is no check.

  • Device category error

    while creating SAP ISU Device category i got one error message like The material 5 does not exist or is not activated Message no. M3305

    Hi Ahemad,
    It seems you have not created the Material in MM with the same name of the Device Category you are trying to create. Create material using T.Code MM01.
    Hope it helps.

  • Elitebook 2540p Motherboard changed. Integrated motherboard IDT audio device missing in windows 7.

    Hi,
     Old situation:
    (I recently changed motherboard for my computer Elitebook 2540p. When i installed windows 7 to my computer the computer doesn't list any audio devices in device manager page. I've checked bios for any faulty settings and they are all set right. Theres no yellow marks in device list either and all drivers seems to be installed.)
    New situation:
    Installed windows 7 again and computer found / installed audio devices normally. I tested computer for hours to play audio from it and everything worked fine. I restarted computer several times / re installed battery to the computer. On one restart the computers audio quick mute button below the screen appeared to be orange and the sound speaker icon in windows was marked as X. I check device list again from device manager and there was no audio devices listed (No sound devices at all). After that i restarted computer and before the computer started downloadin windows i pressed the mute button and it turned blue. I then went to windows and sound devices / sound was working again.
     Old situation:
    I have motherboard integrated IDT audio device.
    When i try to install audio drivers from hp site for 2540p i get "Your system does not meet the minimum requirements for this update." And the device manager doesnt list any IDT audio devices.
     I then installed xp and the computer found IDT audio device normally and the sounds are working correct.
    New situation:
    After i did new windows 7 install and all my audio drivers installed / devices showed in device list / audio worked i downloaded audio drivers from HP driver site and installed them to the computer.
    Audio problems has not been occured again after my HP screen mute button turned to orange / Windows sound speaker was marked as X / Computer didn´t find any audio devices.
    Currently waiting if the problem occurs again and trying to think what would cause this ( Hardware problem or software)? And how to fix it permanently.
    Any help for this problem?
    BIOS is updated to newest version from HP driver download center.
    All windows drivers are installed.
