Equipment Category

We have created an equipment with external number range and category 'M'. Then we realized that 'M' is wrong equipment category and put deletion flag on the equipment. Then we created new equipmnet with equipment category 'P' but system gives an error that equipment already exist, though we have putted deletion flag on wrong equipment. 'M' and 'P' have different reference category. How can we create new equipment with same equipment ID ? Is it possible to archieve the wrong equipment and then to create new equipment with 'P' as equipment category. Please give some information. What is t code to archieve equipments.
Regards,
VM

Functional Location Category/ Equipment Category

Greetings!
In Plant Maintenance, my client wants to see a typical FL (say category 'M')/ Equipment category in the system & not the standard SAP created or FL/ Equipment categories created by Customer Service. This is to avoid wrong input entries as well as easier operation.
How is it possible? Is there any implication of the same?
Regards
Hemant

Thanks for your reply.
I want to know, of many Equipment/ FL categories created; I want to have only one or two visible to particular end user.
Say I have 3 Equipment categories;
1) Machine
2) PRT &
3) Vehicle.
Of the 3 may be PRT & Vehicle will be used by some other module. So I just want category M to be visible to the end users of Plant Maintenance. How do I do it?

Why Equipment Category is used in PM??? I need a strong reason...

Hi PM leaders.......

Hi mohan,
in this Customizing table you define the description for an equipment category. This allows you to control which basic characteristics a equipment master record such as a vehicle master record should have. Using these control characteristics, you can decide how many and which equipment categories you require.

Enabling installation of new equipment category under superior FL and under sup Equip

Hi all,
I've created new equipment category. I can install a piece of equipment from this new category only under a superior piece of equipment but not under FL (the field of superior FL is darken in pop up installation ) . I know I've seen in SPRO where I should customize the equipment category to be possibly installed under FL and Equipment but I can't find it now .
Please advise if you know where.
Daniel.

Authorizations for changes on a Equipment Category

How I can stop the changes for a single category of equipment? I'd like to block the IE02 transaction for a certain category of equipment leaving the authorization to make changes on the equipments of others categories.
Thanks

Check this SAP help on user status.

You can assign status profile to the equipment category using config "PM and CS>Master data> Technical Objects-->Equipment --> "

Benefit of assignment of partner detemination to equipment category

Hi ,
If i will not assign partner determination procedure to equipment category then what is the disadvantage of this ?
Regards,
Vivek

As We all know, the use of Partner Determination Procedure is to assign Partner Function into it, and when we create the the Equipment, We can assign Desired Partner Optionally. For Example, you could assign Person Responsible (link it with HR module) to get who will responsbile when the equipment is broken, lost, etc.
other benefit, it is also possible to transfer the equipment's Partner Determination Procedure into Notification's Partner Determinatiion Procedure. Please, Correct me if I'm wrong.
In the end, it's depends on your business Process to use Partner Determination Procedure or not.
Hope it's useful.
Thanks,

Equipment category and Authorization (4.6C)

Hi,
The Business requires us to control IE01/IE02 by "Equipment category" types. Already taalked to security folks. But looks like there is no authorization object to control by "Equipment category". There is only one field "EQTYP" but that is not related to any of the Authorization Objects. How do we take care of this? We don't want the users to change or create all the equipment types. Thanks for all the suggestions.
Cheers

Not sure if you can control as expected. But further operation against a equipment can be controlled using authorisation groups. Extract IMG help of the node is mentioned below for easy reference.
Define Authorization Groups
Use
In this Customizing activity, you define authorization groups for your technical objects. Authorization groups are used to categorize similar objects from the point of view of authorizations.
Activities
Create the authorization groups for your technical objects.
Example
You have two maintenance departments, truck fleet and production. There is a series of equipment in the system for both departments. You want to ensure that a user 'A' may only process equipment of the truck fleet, and a user 'B' may only process equipment from the production area.
To do this, define two authorization groups and assign these to the two users 'A' and 'B' in their user master record.
The equipment must also be assigned to the two authorization groups.
The two users can then only process objects from their own user department.
Notes
If no authorization group is entered in an object, the check is not carried out. If this is the case, the user may process the object.

Equipment Category - Need two characters

Hi All,
I have a requirement where in equipments variety is huge. If I use standard equipment categories then I can create only 26+10=36 equipment categories.
I have requirement for equipment categories that might go beyond 36 numbers. And hence I need equipment category should have two characters.
Please let me know if we can increase the equipment category length from 1 to 2.
Sundar

Hi Carlos/Pete,
I know its odd requirement. As I told you this requirement is for multiple locations and different indstry and different products and our client is only one.
Also I can use object types, etc. for it and I may not require equipment categories more than 36 nos, but this was just thought if in case I require two characters category then wherther anyone came across such requirement or not?
But it seems nobody had such huge requirement.....anyways thanks for your inputs.

Equipment Category authorization

Hi,
Is there any way to give authorization to Equipment Category,
I found only I_BEGRP for Authorization Group in the Equipment, or I_INGRP for Maintenance Planner Group.
