Move Serial Object
Explanation
This activity is used to move a serial object from one site to another
site or to a different equipment structure in the same site. A serial object is not located in a fixed place in the equipment
structure, but resides only temporarily in one place. This can be performed in
Serial Object page using Move/Copy button, choosing
Move Serial Object option.
Serial object is moved to a new site if the values are given for the
Company and Site in the Move Serial Object dialog. Additionally user has an option to specify the equipment
structure that the serial object moved to by using the Change
Belongs to Object option in the dialog.
Once the new site is added user has the option to create new PM revisions
for the existing PM actions in the moving Serial Object/Objects and the values
added in WO site and Maint Org will determine
work order site and maintenance organisation of the new PM revisions created once the serial object is moved to the new site
Serial object can be moved to a equipment structure without changing the
site by using the Change Belongs to object without
specifying a site.
If the moving serial object has test points/parameters defined on it, it is possible to register the current measurement
by the time of the move using Register Measurements
option. Additionally, it is possible to define, modify or remove the Update
from Object value on the parameters, if those should change after the serial object
is moved. Once the measurements are entered or Update from Object value is
modified, the Apply command needs to be selected in order
to register and save them.
Note - Serial Object will simply move to the new site without a belongs
to object if the Change
Belongs to Object option is not chosen when moving to a new
site.
