Hi Gunnus,

Alphanumeric numbers for equipment can be restricted in Plant Maintenance Configuration. Do have a look at the node Maintain Equipment Category there check the *No Alpha numeric Equipment numbers * check box.

After restricting alphanumeric numbers, the second thing is to restrict the equipment number to 6 characters so choose a number range which is only 6 char i.e. 100000 - 500000, this way you cannot enter a number greater than this range other wise use some user exit to control the number range length problem.

Hi gunnus,

Have you set the external number range interval to be of 6 characters i.e. 100000 - 600000 and if you have done so, whenever you would be creating an equipment with an external number, the above mentioned interval would be checked and any number having the length greater than above, the system would give you the following error:

Equipment number 9000000 not in external number interval

Message no. IS042

Also verify whether in Message Control Settings of maintenance order, this message is set to warning or information, if it is, change it to the error category.

I don't think it is possible to control in config or number ranges. If this is they really need, then they have to make sure they should give only chars not exceeding 6 at the time of creating equipment.

Probably you could use some user exit to throw an error message if the condition is not satisfied.

The user exits for Equipments are IIEQM0001 to IEQM0007.

Perhaps can use IEQM0003 Additional checks before equipment update.

TQ.
