Installation group structure

An installation group is set of serialized items that have the same location and are owned by the same business partner. Grouping serialized items into an installation group enables you to maintain the items collectively. An installation group helps you to relate multiple objects for a particular customer, location, or contract.

You can also define an installation group as a location for a group of objects. The key data include the location details and service center details of an installation group. The other details serve only as defaults for the lower-level objects.

The Installation group structure is also referred to as the bill of serialized items. An Installation group structure is the list of serialized items that share the same location and customer as the Installation group. An installation group structure always consists of at least one Installation. Each physical breakdown structure or serialized item can be a part or member of the Installation group structure.

You must define serialized item relations, to create the structure. An Installation group structure consist of 99 levels and can be viewed graphically.
