Installed Base Item Data
Installed Base Item Maintenance (11.3.1) is used to enter new items directly into the installed base. This function is particularly helpful for companies that must manually add items and configurations to the installed base.
Other typical uses for Installed Base Item Maintenance include:
• Extending the warranty expiration date
• Changing the revision level of the item
• Modifying component records
• Entering and updating preventive maintenance (PM) dates and setting the interval between last/next PM dates
• Deleting obsolete records
When a new item is added to the installed base, many of the fields default from values set up in Service Item Maintenance.
