If a business object uses a consumption-based maintenance plan, you must track its consumption.
To do this, create a meter on the business object:
If the Create object meter field is set to Yes in the product details, a meter is created automatically for new business objects.
For existing business objects, you must create the meter manually.
This setup helps you monitor consumption and schedule maintenance at the right time.
Steps
Go to Product information management > Products > All products and product masters.
Note
If you are adding a meter on the existing business object, go to steps 9-16.
In the list, find and select the desired product.
Enter the selected product.
Expand the Service and maintenance section.
Click Add.
In the list, select a desired maintenance plan.
Select Yes/No in the Create object meter field.
Note
If set to Yes, a meter will be automatically created for a new business object.
Click Save.
Go to Business objects > Business objects > All business objects.
In the list, find and select the desired object.
Click Meters.
Click New.
In the Meter number field, type a value.
In the Description field, type a value.
In the Consumption group id field, enter or select a value.
Click Save.
