Managing Technical Objects

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to explain how SAP Fiori apps are used to manage technical objects

Technical Objects

Several apps help you to efficiently manage and evaluate your technical assets and maintenance objects, and to monitor the costs involved. These apps allow you to do the following:

  • Find technical objects with enhanced filter and list functionality.
  • Structure existing technical systems based on technical objects, which reduces the time required for managing the technical objects and allows for a faster evaluation of maintenance data.
  • Create master records for functional locations and pieces of equipment, structure your technical objects horizontally by creating object networks, and determine measuring points and counters located along technical objects.
  • Store data in measurement documents after a measurement has been taken at a measuring point or counter.

Work with Technical Objects

Examples of the Find Technical Object app screens.

App Find Technical Objects

With the Find Technical Object app, you can list the technical objects in your system. You can find the one you need by filtering the list according to various properties or by using a free-text search. You can display a single technical object to view its properties, its assigned notifications, operations, and its attachments.

Examples of key features of the Find Technical Objects app are as follows:

  • Start the Asset Viewer
  • Filter technical objects by various parameters, such as type, location, manufacturer, and status
  • Search for technical objects
  • Display a single technical object
  • Navigate to the notifications and orders of the technical object
