Equipment description in maintenace orders

Question

Hi,Expert i met below problem:
Equipment A has some maintenance work orders before June 20th, and then i change its equipment description on June 20th.
then, all the maitenance order's equipment discription would be updated , even for those before June 20th.
I hope it can:
All those work orders created before June 20th could remain the old description.
All those work orders created on and after June 20th could use new description.
Temporary solutions i can think of:
1.develop report. capture equipment description in work order from the description based on order creation date(by history).
2.by system enhancement.Save order number and description to a developed table everytime when we create order, and report capture this field.
Wondering:
In MM module , material description of purchase orders are saved in PO tables, not material code's tables. Why can't PM do it in this way?

Answer 1

hi
Development is always good , I wish to know two things
1.why are u changing the equipment description ?
2. I think from you questions u r going to change equipment description in future also & want to Make Order report by equipment description. Why ? for what Key parameter indicator or Maintenance Indicator you need this development.
there is a facility of installing & dismantling of equipment which generates usage history & IW38 , IW37N , which gives wide variety of display i think we can find something from it if you explain clearly what's ur requirement or scenario.
