Define an Installation group

You can define an Installation group, and the Installation group's structure, manually, or you can generate the Installation groups from the following:

  • Service BOMs
  • Purchase orders
  • Sales orders
  • Project work breakdown structure
  • Element structures

You can define an Installation group as a location for a group of serialized items. 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 serialized items.

Installation groups can be created in the following ways:

  • Manually, in the Installation Groups (tsbsc1100m000) session.
  • Automatically generated by the application.

Creating an Installation group manually

Use the Installation Groups (tsbsc1100m000) session to create an Installation group.

Note the following points:

  • Ownership

    The owner of the Installation group must be specified. If the Installation group belongs to a business partner, select the business partner in the Owner field. If your company owns the Installation group, leave the Owner field empty and in the Department field, select the department that owns the Installation group. For example, this can be the work center that uses the production machine.
  • The application derives the sold-to business partner or the department that owns the Installation group from the Sold-to Business Partners (tccom4510m000) session.
  • If the Use Service Areas check box is selected in the General Service Parameters (tsmdm0100m000) session, you must specify the service area.
