Use Business object management to maintain the business objects and manage all the activities related to business objects.
To achieve this, the several processes are defined that help to use a business object in the rental process
Use maintenance plans to manage the service and maintenance of business object. With a maintenance plan, you can ensure that business objects are maintained in time. Timely maintenance increases the uptime and financial and physical utilization rates of your equipment.
You can use these types of maintenance plans:
• Time based: You do maintenance on business objects based on a schedule. Maintenance is triggered at scheduled moments in time. For example, maintenance of an air conditioner is done every year before summer or a service on an aerial working platform is done every six months.
• Consumption based: You do maintenance on business objects based on usage. Maintenance is triggered when equipment is used or has run for a defined amount in a defined unit. For example, a pump must be lubricated every 10,000 run hours or a car must be serviced every 15,000 KM.
• Recall: You
do maintenance on business objects based on a recall. Maintenance is triggered
when you recall all business objects of a rental type for maintenance. You can
use this if a critical issue occurs that must be fixed in all business objects
of a certain type.
You can link a maintenance plan to business objects or products. If you link a maintenance plan to a product, it is automatically linked to all business objects that are created with the product.
For each maintenance plan, define the work order template. This defines the type of work order and tasks to be created.
