How You Define Maintenance Master Data

The process of defining the maintenance master data includes the following:

• Defining Asset Items: Assets are created based on an item. Create the items and define the key parameters and assign them to each maintenance organization. In general, every maintenance organization in which the assets can be maintained should be assigned to the item.

• Defining Maintenance Parts List Items: The maintenance parts list is a list of all the parts and components (items) that constitute an asset. These items may or may not be defined as assets in the maintenance organization. To define the maintenance parts list items, first you must create the parts list items. Then, assign the parts list items to the maintenance organization.

• Creating Work Areas, Resources, and Work Centers: A work area is a region allocated for performing maintenance activity. A resource is a labor or equipment required to perform a maintenance activity. A work center is a maintenance unit that consists of people or equipment. Every maintenance organization must have at least one work area and one work center defined.

• Creating maintenance work definitions: The maintenance work definition act as a template for the work order execution.
