Structured Clarification Functional Location
Functionallocations enable you to structure maintenance
objects according to the following criteria:
Process-oriented (for example, ”polymerization,” ”condensation”)
• Functional (for example, ”pumpstation,” ”power unit”)
•
• Spatial (for example, ”hall,” ”location”)

• A piece of equipment is an individual physical object maintained as an autonomous unit.
Pieces of equipment usually represent single objects such as pumps, motors, vehicles, for
which maintenance tasks should be performed and recorded.
• Equipment can be installed at functional locations.A piece of equipment can be linked with
a material, if there is inventory management, in the sense of Materials Management, for
the object.
Equipment Hierarchy

Structure of a Bill of Material
An individual bill of material can be defined for each maintenance object.
The bill of material contains the following information:
• Structure of the unit (using assemblies)
• Spare parts for its maintenance (for example, stock items, external material, documents, and texts)
