In this step, you can define the currency in which plant maintenance statistical data is to be managed.

When specifying the currency for maintenance statistics, the following points should be considered.

  • The selected currency is valid for the whole client.
  • All the fields in plant maintenance that are currency-dependent and that go into the statistical data are automatically translated into the currency for the statistics.

    The date with which the exchange rate is calculated is determined by the system on the basis of the field and cannot be changed. For example, the acquisition date of a piece of equipment is taken as a basis for the conversion of the acquisition value. For the conversion of the value fields of a maintenance order, the order creation date is taken as basis.

Recommendation

You should always define a currency for statistics. If you work without a currency for statistics, all the value fields of the Plant Maintenance System are stored in the original currency of the document or master record. This will lead to different currencies also being stored in the statistics file.

As a result, any analysis of the statistics file made on the basis of the currency fields will be of little use, as currency conversion will not be carried out for evaluations and therefore value fields containing different currencies will be added together.

Note on changing the currency for statistics

Changing the statistics currency is also possible even after records have already been stored in the statistics file.

However, this means that the currency fields in the information structures of the statistics file have to be restructured.

You can set up the statistics file again with report 'RMIPS000'. However, this is only necessary if statistical data already exists and the currency for the statistics has been changed.

Activities
