Create LCM

There are four situations where a Life cycle management (LCM) document is/can be created:

  1. Automatically created from a Production work order (PWO) by Release for Production Service

  2. Manually created without a preceding production (for rental and service)

  3. Imported into the system from OEM production

  4. Manually created via the Life cycle management menu (LCM)

Create a new LCM document

LCM documents are usually generated automatically, but may be created manually if needed. This may be the issue if a company buys kits it did not produce themselves and want to have a LCM document related for service reasons.

  1. The requirement for creating an LCM is that the Goods reception (SSA) with the purchased kit is in Status 3 or Status 9.

  2. Open the SSA and register it to Status 3 and enter the item.
