What is time-based equipment in SAP IS-EC-CEM - Construction Equipment Management?

SAP Term: time-based equipment

• Component: IS-EC-CEM

• Component Name: Construction Equipment Management

• Description: Equipment, for example a crane, which is usually kept on a specific site for a specific period of time. This period of time is always calculated in days for time-based equipment. Generally speaking, settlement of time-based equipment takes place on the basis of the shipping documents. Performance-based equipment documents are not taken into account in the settlement run in order to avoid settlement taking place twice, once on the basis of the shipping document and once on the basis of the performance-based equipment document. Both equipment items and multipart equipment can be time-based.
