Create LCM
There are three situations where a Life Cycle Management (LCM) document is created:
Automatically created from a Production Work Order (PWO) by Release for Production Service
Manually created without a preceding production (for rental and service)
Imported into the system from OEM production
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.
The requirement for creating an LCM is that the Goods Reception (SSA) with the purchased kit is in ST:3 or ST:9.
Open the SSA and register it to ST:3 and enter the item.
Choose the Create product units (LCMs) and sub product units option in the context menu.
To create LCMs for purchased products, choose the Create product units (LCMs) and sub product units option in the context menu.
In the SSA item view, select View product unit (LCM) in the context menu to inspect the LCM documents.
