DM Device Management - Device Location Relpacement

Hi all,
in the project currently invovled we are facing a critical DM-BI issue, where the devices are technically installed in a device location and we want to change their technical installation. SAP IS-U standard functionalities are used in full scale, having technical installation and billing installation in two steps.
In more detail, the case is that within an existing customer (with contract account, contract, installation and technical and billing device installation) the device location is to be changed. Thus we want to technically remove the device from the intial device location and install (technical) the device in the new device location.
To achieve this, the preferable method, if possible, would be to make the changes, without any time slice created under the Devices tab, in the installation (tx: ES32), since Rate Data (billing installation data) are not changed. Trying to find the workaround solution, we got error message "Message no. EN048" (Tech. removal not possible because dev. yyyyyyyy is still allocated to inst. zzzzzz). Any help and/or advice would be very welcome.
In case it cannot be avoided, then we have to implement full removal and full installation, which however is in no case the preferred scenario, since it might create further confilcts with SAP estimations and billing printout form (the process is handled from the billing form as device replacement, although the device remains the same).
Any help is vey welcome,
Thank you in advance,
Bou.Lis

Hi VR,
after thorough analysis of the issue, we followed the logic as below.
Device location is the technical positional object. Thus, it is not changing, in case the line (pipeline, etc) remains in the same address.
Additionally, we decided to use pm equipments (with particular equipment category and object type) so as to identify the technical object pipe, where the maintenance can take place. Classification data we had on device location is migrated on the newly created equipments. Dates are also available since pm equipments keep installation and dismantling dates.
Hope it helps your solution and provides a workaround as well. For further details, if required, since I may have forgotten something or might not be clear enough, please let me know.
Regards,
Bou.Lis

  • How to write program for the long text in EMIGALL for the DEVICE LOCATION.

    Hi,
    I am pretty new to this ISU field and i have been asked to code for a Long Text in EMIGALL for DEVICE LOCATION,
    so i would like someone can help me with it.
    thanks in advance.
    Robert.

    Robert,
    You can find most of the answers to your questions in the Guidelines:
    Chapter 2.4.2 describes how to configure the field rule Fixed Value.
    Chapter 2.4.5 describes how to configure the field rule via KSM.
    Chapter 2.5 descibes the Key- and Status Management and the usage of the the KSM in field rules.
    The specific answer to your questions are:
    (1) ...When i was adding the fixed rule, it was asking for domain so what should be the Domain that i should add ... You may ignore the domain field when creating a fixed value object. It's more for information purposes.
    (2) ... and what should i keep the fixed value, string or filed or abap rule ... I'd suggest to use 'String' and enter the specific value in the field 'FV contents'.
    (3) ... Finally you need to adjust the RETURN-FIELD of the newly created BAPI migration object to AUTO-X_HEAD-TDNAME, where do i make this adjustment can you specify that ... The return field can only be adjusted int the migration object maintenance screen (MigObject -> Change). Please see chapter 3.1 for more details on the 'return field' and figure 3-8 in chapter 3.4.2 how to generate a BAPI migration object.  
    (4) ... Well i would also like to ask about the x_head-tdname =  via KSM (e.g. DEVLOC), where should i put the value ... You wanted to know how to migrate a long text of a device location migration object DEVLOC). According to chapter Chapter 2.4.5 you need to enter the name of the superior migration object (here DEVLOC) in the 'MigObject1'field on the 'via KSM' sub-screen on the field maintenance screen.
    (5) ... and what exactly would it be can i put DEVLOC in the ID of technical Object and where should i put this value... I am not sure I understand your question. In the end you will need to pass the number (ID) of the technical object in the TDNAME field. Either you put the id into the import file (only if you know the id) or you need to use the 'via KSM' field rule to replace the legacy system key of the device location by the SAP key by the load report and prior to passing the auto data to the application thus your new function module.
    Kind regards,

  • Attach a PDF document to Device Location

    Hi all,
    We have a requirement to attach a PDF document to a Device Location. Ideally we are looking for an approch to upload a PDF document which would contain some instructions for the Business Users.  This would help the user to check the PDF document and perform Activties according to the instructions.
    Could you please guide through, if SAP allows for such an option to upload PDF file or any document to a Technical Object.
    It would be appreciated if you suggest few examples as well.
    Regards,
    Sai

    Also, Services for object is not available for another user. Is it realted to any profile settings or will be in default to all users ?
    Thanks for you help once again.

  • How to update Device location notes

    Hi Guys,
    I am getting an inbound idoc which is same as ISU_MR_UPLOAD01 and using the MRID number I need to update the device location notes. Could you please let me know if you have any idea on this.
    Thanks,
    Sar

    Hi Sar,
    You need to find the device location number from MRID number. To do this first you can find the installation number (ANLAGE)froma table EABLG using MRID number (ABLBELNR). Using ANLAGE, you can find logical device number (LOGIKNR) from table EASTL using AB and BIS. You can use BIS =31.12.9999 to get the latest logical device number. Using LOGIKNR, you can find the device location number (DEVLOC) from table EGERH.
    To update now the static note of device location, you can use FM ISU_DB_ENOTE_UPDATE. Pass XY_OBJ-OBJKEY = device location number and XY_OBJ-OBJTYPE = '3'. Populate the structure USNOTES-NOTE  with your required device location notes number. You can use ADDTXT1, ADDTXT2 etc. of USNOTES structure if you want to update any additional text.
    Just for your reference the note for device location are stored in ENOTE and ENOTET table.
    Hope this will help you.
    Thanks.

  • Error in creating Connection Object and Device Location

    Hi ,
    When i am creating Connection Object and Device Location , system is giving dump . all other object are working fine.
    the error is gievn below :
    Error in reading table TE130.
    i checked this the table , its have no entries ( mainly field ISTYP is blank ) and this is the cause of problem .
    Could you please tell me that how to fill this table before creating Connection object and device location. i think some configuration should be needed for this but i dont know how .
    thanks and regards
    Deepak.

    Hi Deepak,
    You can check standard configuration in client 000.
    Meanwhile you can use this settings:
    ISTYP TPLKZ FLTYP NUMKI NUMKE
    C     AO_GP     A     01     OC
    D     AO_GP     G     02     OC
    This is where you define structure indicator for isu technical location category.
    ISTYP correspond to the type of technical location in ISU, C for connection object and D for device location
    The content of TPLKZ is defined in the following menu in SPRO.
    Plant Maintenance and Customer Service
    Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service
    Technical Objects
    Functional Locations
    Create Structure Indicator for Reference Locations/Functional Locations
    Hope it helps,

  • Link between a business partner and a device installed on a device location

    Hi everyone,
    Please guide me about the linkage between a BP and device location.
    Please guide me with table field wise linkage.
    Which table is being used for 'Device Location' and 'Premise' information.
    Please guide.
    It will be a great help.
    Thanks and Regards

    Hello,
    Table for Premise is EVBS
    Table for Device location is EGPLT..
    Business Partner is part of the Business Master data while the Device Location is part of Techincal master data.
    The installation is used to link these master datas...
    The following link has some graphical images that illustrates the master data and shows how the various objects are related to each other.

  • Reassign multiple device locations

    Hi all,
    I have a situation where I have a connection object with one premise, to which water and gas device locations have been attached.  I want to move the premise and both device locations to another connection object. 
    TCode ES64 allows me to reassign a premise, or a device location/premise combination to another connection object.  But I don't find the ability to move multiple device locations with a premise to another CO. 
    Does that functionality exist out of the box or would it have to be customized?
    On a related note, is there a BAPI for this T-Code?
    Thanks
    CN
    Edited by: C N on Mar 24, 2011 4:29 PM

    ES64 works just fine doing this as 2 transactions.  I thought there would be an issue after moving the premise and 1st DL, the 2nd DL would be an orphan and thus cause problems moving it.  But apparently it doesn't know (or care) that it's an orphan so 2 sequential transactions takes care of it just fine.

  • Find my Ipad  - WRONG DEVICE LOCATION

    HI,
    i bought an ipad 2 a week ago,
    i  installed the above apps and tried but found my device location is TOTALY Wrong,
    I am located in MALAYSIA (refer below my Iphone ),  but  my IPAD was detected in Singapore ( refer above ) which is totally off.
    1.     Does anyone encounter this before?
    2.     how do i ractify this?
    regards

    This is not an unusual condition with a WiFi-only device.  There have been reports of locations reported halfa world away!  WiFi location services works by tracking the accessible routers but the details are a state secret!
    Your iPhone has a GPS chip but Apple's WiFi-only devices (iPad and iPod) do not have GPS chips.

  • Our Macbook air was lost or stolen shortly after initial setup / registration but  device location was not turned on.  Can MAc ID

    Our Macbook air was lost or stolen shortly after initial setup / registration but  device location was not turned on.  Can MAc ID # be found through email linked during setup ?

    The following has some recommendations from Apple of what to do if Find My Mac was not turned on before it was lost or stolen. The quote is from If your Mac is lost or stolen - Apple Support
    Find My Mac is the only Apple service that can help track or locate a lost Mac. If you didn’t set up Find My Mac before your Mac was lost, or you can’t locate it, these steps might help you protect your data:
    Change your Apple ID password to prevent anyone from accessing your iCloud data or using other services (such as iMessage or iTunes) from your Mac.
    Change your passwords for other accounts you use with your Mac, including email, banking, and social sites like Facebook or Twitter.
    Report your lost or stolen Mac to local law enforcement. They might request the serial number of your computer. You can find this information on the original box or receipt you received when you purchased your Mac, or on Apple's My Support Profile site if you registered your Mac.

  • Serial Numbers in Inventory Management – Warehouse Managed storage location

    Serial Numbers in Inventory Management u2013 Warehouse managed storage locations
    We want to run inventory cycle at the warehouse for materials. These materials are u2018serial numberedu2019 in the material master. During the initial entry (say GR) of the materials, systems prompt for the serial numbers. At this point, system offers option of assignments of serial numbers automatically.
    While running an inventory cycle for warehouse u2013 and posting difference at WM level (LI01), system is throwing error as u201Cmaintain serial number for totol quantityu201D. System does not promt me to enter the serial number for the materials (count) which are found excess/shortage duing the inventory cycle.
    Is there any configuration where this scenario can be managed; system should prompt us to enter serial number while posting differenes at WM level (LI20).
    The inventory cycle is -
    1.     Create Physical Inventory Documents - LI01N
    2.     Activate Physical Inventory Document -      LI02N
    3.     Enter Count -     LI11N
    4.     Post Differences at WM level -     LI20
    5.     Post Differences at IM level(If Differences are posted at WM ) -     LI21

    Curious to know: The WM Inventory transaction - LI11N - (where we enter physical count. )
    1. Compared to MI04 - IM Inventory Transaction: where a pop-up window asks for serial number of the material.
    2. We expect a similar pop-up at LI11N transaction- where the system should ask serial numbers.
    Q.1 How can we achieve this?
    Q.2 Will this be a standard SAP practice?  (if we do customizing to get serial nos. pop-up window at LI11N)
    thanks,
