Work Order Creation:

Once the user has entered the order data, The order creation process istem uses mostly automatic; The system uses information provided by service territory data and compatiable units.

To create a work order efficiently, the Utilities Industry (IS-U) component uses references ("compatible units"). Using a small number of parameters defined by the user, the system can generate the appropriate order.

After the order has been created, the system monitors the provision of resources and schedules the order. Geographical conditions play an important role here, especially in the utilities industry.

· Compatible units:

Compatible units enable you to create frequently recurring work orders (such as installation of a service connection) easily. They contain a description of the activities to be performed and a list of the resources required (such as personnel, materials, and tools).

Compatible Unit Definition

A compatible unit consists of:

A description

A list of operations

A list of materials and production resources

A schedule for the installation, replacement, or modification of the compatible unit

A list of required documents

A list of the characteristics defined in the configuration

Relationships between the individual components of the compatible unit are represented by object dependencies (for example, between soil condition and length of the connection).

Use

You can use a compatible unit when creating a work order; the compatible unit enables you to create the work order quickly and fully. First of all, all the data from the task list is copied to the order. If you assign characteristic values, certain data is then changed (for example, time required or quantity of materials) or suppressed when copied (for example, operations or materials).

It is not currently possible to construct compatible units in a multi-level structure.

The configuration is not used for the service catalogs (descriptions of services to be obtained externally) in the operation.

Structure

The compatible unit or the configurable task list contains the following elements:

The header data of the task list

A list of operations for the header

A list of materials for each operation

A list of utilities for each operation

Object dependencies of the configuration for each operation

The allocation of the task list to a configuration profile

The allocation of classes with characteristics to the configuration profile

Hi Shiva Kumar,

Are there any tran codes, tables,Fucn modules or any objects that gives an example that can tell me about Compatibe units?

Compatibility units are concept which are prevelant in US and some other countries specially related to transmission industry . The concept and terminology are used across so a google search may give you better idea of exact concepts .

I may have some presentations on it but I have never worked on it.
