Process Measuring Point
Application component: BP for Maintenance Worker
App type: Web Dynpro
Line of business: Asset Management
Leading industry: Cross Industry
Solution capability: Maintenance Execution (S/4, Asset Mgr)
Description: Three apps are provided for processing master records for measuring points: Create Measuring Point, Change Measuring Point, and Display Measuring Point. As a maintenance planner, you can create and change master records for measuring points that are located on technical objects directly or while changing a technical object: Measuring Points help you to document the condition of a technical object at a particular point in time.Documenting the condition of a particular object is of great importance in cases where detailed records regarding the correct condition have to be kept for legal reasons. This could involve critical values recorded for environmental protection purposes, as well as measurements of emissions and pollution for objects of all types. In the case of condition-based maintenance, maintenance activities are triggered when the measuring point of a technical object has reached a particular state. Counters are a special form of measuring point and are used to represent the wear and tear of an object, consumption, or the reduction of an object’s useful life (for example, the mileage for a vehicle, or an electricity meter for an electrically-powered system).If you perform counter-based maintenance, maintenance activities are always performed when the counter of the technical object has reached a particular counter reading.  
Three apps are provided for processing master records for measuring points: "Create Measuring Point", "Change Measuring Point", and "Display Measuring Point". As a maintenance planner, you can create and change master records for measuring points that are located on technical objects directly or while changing a technical object.
Key features:  If you have the business role Maintenance Planner, you can perform the following tasks: Create and change the master record of a measuring point.Specify general data, such as a description and the measurement position.Measuring points are uniquely identified by the numbers that they are assigned internally. Since this number is not descriptive, you have the option of giving the measuring point a text or a descriptive number to describe the position of a measuring point at a technical object. Assign a measuring point category.After having created measuring point categories in Customizing, you can use them to group measuring points for which the same measuring point attributes are valid. Assign classification information to the measuring point.After having created numerical characteristics to which a unit has been assigned, you assign these characteristics to determine the unit of measurement reading. Specify the measurement range.The measurement range represents the values that a measuring instrument or counter can display. You can define that only readings that fall between the upper and lower limits are possible. With the measurement range unit, you define the unit in which the measurement is made by the measuring instrument. Specify a target value for the measuring point.If there is an optimum value for a particular measuring point to which the device concerned is calibrated, you can specify this measurement reading as a target value. Specify whether the valuation of the measurement reading shall be quantitative, qualitative, or a combination of both.In a quantitative measurement reading, the current reading measured is entered in the system. The unit of the measurement reading (for example, degrees Celsius) is defined by the characteristic in the master record of the measuring point. In a qualitative measurement reading, a valuation code is entered in the system. This code represents the current reading measured. You can only enter a solely qualitative valuation if you have specified this in the system explicitly for the measuring point by selecting the Valuation Code Sufficient checkbox. Display the technical object on which the measuring point is located.Create measurement documents using the measuring point.View the measuring point in the Asset Viewer.Create a measuring point with transfer data (SAP GUI) while changing a technical object. Note If you have the business role Maintenance Technician, you are only able to view the information stored in the measuring point by accessing the Display Measuring Point app. For more information about displaying a measuring point, see Display Measuring Point.
