To view or change the current parameters, double-click the set without an effective date that appears at the top of the list. The Configuration Management Parameters (tscfg0100m000) session starts. If you make changes and save the new parameter setting, LN performs the following actions:
Note By default, the Description field contains the date and time when the previous parameter setting was saved. To avoid confusion, if you change the parameters, change or delete the default Description text.
Effective Date The date and time from which the parameters are valid. The
parameters are valid up to the effective date of the most recent parameter
setting. Description The description of the parameter set, for example, the reason
why the previous setting was changed. Display by Alternate Serial Numbers Determines how sessions in the Configuration Control module will browse when zooming to serialized items. If this check box is selected, the serialized items are sorted by the serial number that the business partner has assigned to the item. In this case, the Serialized Items - Alternate Identification (tscfg2502m000) session starts. If this check box is cleared, the serialized items are sorted by item and serial number. In this case, the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session starts. Note You can enter the business partner's serial number for a serialized item in the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session. The functionality of this parameter is used extensively in Configuration Management. Serialized Item Group Usage If this check box is selected, you must specify a serialized-item group when you fill in a serialized item field in the Configuration Control module. If this check box is not selected, you can optionally specify a serialized-item group when you fill in a serialized item field in the Configuration Control module. Note You can specify a default serialized-item group for a serialized item in the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Unused concepts in Service Empty Item Field Allowed If this check box is selected, you can leave the Item field in the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session empty. If this check box is cleared, the item field must be specified. Note You can use this as an indicator of a so-called Structure component. Number Group Maintenance Notifications The default number group for maintenance notifications. Description The description or name of the code. Series for Maintenance Notifications The default series defined for the maintenance notifications number
group. Description The description or name of the code. Configuration Status Usage If this check box is selected, the status field is
displayed in the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session. The default
status is Startup. The Replace Serial Number command is displayed only when
you select this check box. If this check box is cleared, the status field is not displayed in the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session. The statuses Startup and Revision are not used. Create Physical Breakdown Log If this check box is selected, changes to a serialized
item's physical breakdown are
automatically logged in the Physical Breakdown Log (tscfg2515m000) session, but only if the item's status in the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session is Active. If this check box is cleared, changes to a serialized item's physical breakdown are not logged. Note If the Configuration Status Usage check box is selected, this check box is automatically selected and will be inactive.

installations. For example, if you enter the value 10, the numbers assigned to
