ISU Serial number = SAP Equipment number

Hi experts

We are thinking to synchronize the ISU device/serial number to SAP's equipment number when creating using IQ01. This is done by setting the SerLev indicator to "1" on Material Master plant data/stor 2 tab.

We are doing this to reduce confusion of the 2 fields, e.g. SAP maintenance plan uses equipment number and we want to use it for scheduled meter testing.

My question is has anyone done it this way before if so what are the implications if any.

Thanks.
