| To generate Field Change Order (FCO) and Field Change Order
linesUse this process to generate field change order (FCO), add activities
to the field change order and generate FCO lines manually or
automatically. How to generate Field Change Order and Lines Step 1. Define Field Change OrderUse the Field Change Orders (tssoc5100m000) session to define field change order. The field change
order (FCO) procedure is defined as a separate service procedure in the Service Types (tsmdm0130m000) session. Therefore, you can define contract coverage for FCOs. FCOs are
intended for collective changes on serialized item in multiple Installation groups. For each
FCO, you can define up to five activities. If service orders are generated for
FCOs, LN automatically
generates a service order activity line for each of these activities. If you
define the FCO, the FCO receives the status Free. Step 2. Generate FCO LinesAfter you create the FCO header, in which the anonymous
item or serialized item and the related activities that you want
to replace are specified, you can either manually define FCO object lines or
have the lines generated automatically. Use the Generate Field Change Order Lines (tssoc5210m000) session to generate FCO lines automatically for
a range of: - FCOs
- Sold-to business
partners
- Installation
groups
- Business partner's serial numbers
You can specify the date
on which serialized items must be active. You can also select if a process
report or error report must be printed. Note - You can run this
session more than once for the same FCO. For example, when you generate FCO
lines for each sold-to business partner.
- A line is only
generated if the serialized item is not yet created for the FCO.
- The sold-to business
partner, on the line of the serialized item, is derived from the serialized
item.
- For internal
maintenance, only the Installation group and Serial Number fields are filled on
the FCO line.
- If the lines are
generated, the status of the FCO is set to Lines Generated. If you run the
session more than once, the status remains Lines Generated.
- FCO lines are also
generated for independent serialized items, that is, serialized items that do
not belong to Installation groups.
Use the Field Change Order Lines (tssoc5110m000) session to generate FCO lines
manually. Preliminary conditions to generate FCO lines for serialized
items LN generates FCO lines for serialized item if following conditions are met: - The serialized item is
part of an Installation group as a line in the Installations (tsbsc1110m000) session:
- If the installation status is Installed and the status time is
equal to or later than the Active From date entered in the Generate Field Change Order Lines (tssoc5210m000) session.
- The serialized item
is part of an Installation group but not as a line in the Installations (tsbsc1110m000) session:
- The serialized item is present as a child item in the Physical Breakdowns (tscfg2110m000) session.
- In the Physical Breakdowns (tscfg2110m000) session, the child item status is Installed and the
status time is equal to or later than the Active From entered in the Generate Field Change Order Lines (tssoc5210m000) session
- Independent
serialized items:
- The Include Independent Serialized Items check box is
selected.
- The serialized item status is Active in the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session
Preliminary conditions to generate FCO lines for items LN generates FCO lines for item if following conditions are met: - In the Items - Service (tsmdm2100m000) session, the value of the Configuration Controlled
field for the item must be Anonymous or Not Applicable.
- The item is part of
an installation group as a line in the Installations (tsbsc1110m000) session:
- If the Installation group line status is Installed and
the status time is equal to or later than the Active From date entered in the Generate Field Change Order Lines (tssoc5210m000) session.
- The item is present as a child item in the Physical Breakdowns (tscfg2110m000) session:
- In the Physical Breakdowns (tscfg2110m000) session, the child item status is Installed and the
status time is equal to, or later than, the Active From entered in the Generate Field Change Order Lines (tssoc5210m000) session.
