INTTRK-13749 (15 Dec)
WO/CCBREQ# CCBREQ-5706
Description
A critical part of the Space Management UE2 Project is to provide users with the ability to record the Occupancy Status of Architectural Objects. A new tab has been added to Real Estate Architectural Object Type Building, Floor and Room. The new fields within the tab will now enable users to capture the Occupancy Status, Current Occupant and Validity period of the Occupancy. Additionally, in the case where the AO is associated with a real estate contract, users will now be able to identify the contract associated with the space.

The Office of Central Support Services (OCSS) is currently establishing a deployment plan for the UE2 space management functionality. Users will be updated soon with the deployment plan.

A new custom T-Code, ZRE_MEAS_UPDATE, was created to allow this program to be executed by Real Estate Facility Planners (RE.01).
