Documentation

Definition

This key and the task list group uniquely identify a task list.

Use

In Production Planning and Control, for example, it serves to identify alternative production processes in task lists and is used to make a distinction between similar task lists.

Examples

The group counter can be used to identify different lot-size ranges, for example.

Supplementary Documentation - PLNAL 0001

Procedure

The routing/plan group counter can be assigned manually or automatically by the system.

If you enter the routing/plan group counter when calling a routing/plan, only the data of the corresponding routing/plan is called up from the data base.

Supplementary Documentation - PLNAL 0002

Use

In standard networks, the group counter identifies an alternative of an existing standard network.

Supplementary Documentation - PLNAL 2200

Definition

Key indicating alternatives to a library network.

Use

There can be several alternatives to a library network.

Supplementary Documentation - PLNAL 3000

Use

For maintenance plans with the maintenance call object notification, you do not, as a rule, have to assign a task list to a maintenance item.

You should only specify a task list if you later want to combine the generated notifications in an order using the list editing function for notifications ("Worklist for planned maintenance").

If you generate an order using the worklist, the system copies the operations of the task list to the order.
