reference object for notifications, orders and maintenance plans in
Plant Maintenance. The following variants are provided in the
Standard System:
For variants in which the material serial number exist as a view, a new variant of the object list is chosen for orders and maintenance items. In this variant the object list also includes the material and serial number. The usual variants retain the former object list with functional location, equipment and so on. However, by converting the object list to table control, the list can be modified to meet the requirements of individual users.
This means that you are able to select the view of the reference object that is the most appropriate. for the respective business process. The proposed view can be changed when creating a transaction if required.
Assignment to notifications by notification types and user values

Assignment to maintenance plans/items using maintenance plan categories
If no separate screen types are set for the view of the reference object, the former standard settings are used.
