I'm personally not familiar with PM but I can't imagine it's significantly
different to general equipment processing, and is simply an addition to that
basic principle.

Going forward on the assumption that that is indeed the case then it's
certainly possible to track equipment by its location.

In the sales order (you could use a standard consignment fillup, pickup
process I would think to achieve what you needed) you can enter equipment
serial numbers against a line item using Extras, Technical Objects (this
option is only available for materials with an appropriate serialisation
profile.)

When you deliver this information will be transferred into the serial
numbers allocation on the delivery.

When you issue the equipment status will be changed from ESTO (in the
warehouse) to ECUS (at customer - in your case your employees as long as
they are created on the system) via the status ESTO EDEL (in the warehouse
but assigned to a delivery so someone else shouldn't take it.)

When you returned the equipment enter a consignment pick up order and the
equipment would be delinked from the customer and returned back to status
ESTO.

Now how that would integrate in to the PM module I don't know and
unfortunately don't have the spare time to read up on that module right now.
But maybe the above will be enough to have a starter discussion and might
lead on to something.

Good luck and I hope you will, if you do manage to find a solution, post
something back on this thread should others come across it in future.

Steve.
