Laboratory Exercise
Enterprise Asset Management
Objectives:
At the end of the exercise, the students should be able to:
▪ Display equipment and a functional location.
Materials:
▪ SAP Fiori
Basic Principles:
Client: An independent environment in the system.
Company Code: The smallest organizational unit for which you can maintain a legal set of books.
Plant: Operating area or branch within a company.
Storage Location: An organizational unit allowing differentiation between the various stocks of material in a
plant.
Maintenance Plant: A plant in which the technical objects of a company are installed.
Maintenance plan-oriented organizational units:
• Location: e.g., building number, coordinates
• Plant Section: e.g., responsible for working assets
• Work Center: e.g., process measures of plant maintenance
Maintenance Planning Plant: A plant in which maintenance tasks are planned and prepared.
Planning Plant oriented organizational units:
• Maintenance Planner Group: responsible for planning and processing maintenance tasks
• Work Center

EAM Master Data
Functional Location
• A hierarchically organized structure representing a technical system, a building, or a part of it.
• Locations are normally fixed and do not move.
• Functional locations can be used to subdivide the objects into similar maintenance units.
• Functional locations can contain different types of equipment.
Equipment
• Individual and autonomous technical unit
• A physical object for which maintenance tasks are planned and performed.
• Equipment can be placed in functional locations.
• Examples: pumps, personal computers, circulation fans, engines
Bill of Material (BOM)
• Complete a formally structured list of all components
• Material BOMs can be allocated to functional locations or equipment
EAM Process
1. Notification: These are used to tell maintenance that something needs fixing. Notifications may or may
not contain technical information and highlight a breakdown that needs to be actioned quickly. These
are also used to record works already carried out because history needs to be maintained.
2. Planning: This is normally triggered by a notification. Order planning can include the steps to be
performed, required spare parts, and any specialized tooling.
3. Controlling: order release is carried out once planning has been completed. Maintenance orders
provide the following functions: mass change or mass editing, availability checks for spare parts,
capacity requirements planning, and printing work instruction papers.
4. Implementation and Completion: this includes time confirmation, technical completion confirmation,
and technical completion. Customer billing can be performed after successful technical completion.
Procedures:
LOG IN TO SAP S4/HANA:
1. Open Microsoft Word. Then, name the file using the following format:
SURNAME_AIS_SAPS4/HANA_08_LabExe_2.
Display an Equipment

1. In the Functional Location Structure: Selection screen, enter DL00-S-SHFL1000 as
Functional Location and select Equipment installed in the Explosion area.
2. Click on to confirm your entries. Ignore the message that may appear, “The
top level of structuring has been reached.”
3. Now you can see the Functional Location (Shop Floor) structure list.
Note: A functional location is an organizational unit of logistics that structures the objects of a company
to be maintained according to functional (e.g., drive unit), process-oriented (e.g., condensation), or
spatial (e.g., hall) aspects. A functional location represents where maintenance measures are to be
performed.
