In configuration of External Service management

Materials Management - External Services Management - Service Master - Define Organizational Status for Service Categories

There are three organizational service categories

1) AS01 u2013 Basic data status

2) AS02 u2013 Controlling Status

3) AS03 u2013 Purchasing Data Status

Hi,

You can assign the service master records administered in your company to different groups, according to their usage. Such a group is described by the service category.

To characterize the service categories in more detail, the latter are assigned an organization status. The organization status indicates the areas in which service master records are used.

For example, units of your company may use services provided internally by other units of the company, or procure services externally (from other companies). Your company may also provide services for others.

AS01: If you select this the service master data is at basic data level. That means basic data about the service will be depicted here.

AS02: Service master stored at basic and CO level. To maintain the information at CO level this organizational stus is required.

AS03: Service master stored at basic plus purchsing level. For procurement purpose(MM), THIS LEVEL is useful.

I hope this will give you clarity. Thanking you.
