ProdHier

In the standard, we use the material group to group the material in the cloud. In case of an entry here we use the product hierarchy instead.

UDF Mat Consumption

For dummy material which results in service order text position, you can use technical UDF on object ITEM enabling to overwrite material description in the app - if the UDFs value is equal to "Y".

Expand

Value “Y” is set if for a given material/material group and company, an entry can be found in table /pacg/ecm_cmat2.

The technical UDF needs to have the defined name - ‘COR_CLOUD_EDITNAME’ - otherwise FSM won’t react on it.

Sn ZeroDel

Remove leading zeros of material serial numbers. With this setting checked, the ‘SERNR’ field of /PACG/ECM_ITYPE_SERNR idocs no longer contains leading zeros.

UDF Equi Install/Uninstall

When consuming a serialized part (a serialized item representing an equipment), it can be installed in equipment structure or replace another equipment (trigger dismantle of an existing part).  

Expand

To facilitate this process in the mobile application, the technician must specify the value of a special UDF and the equipment:

- INSTALLATION SCENARIO - in which the serialized item should be installed
- REPLACEMENT SCENARIO - the equipment which should be replaced by this serialized item

During processing of a /PACG/ECM_GOODRECIN idoc (after material consumption), the UDF specified in the ‘UDF for action’ field is searched for in the idoc’s UDFDATA segments. The found UDF’s value is then used to determine whether an equipment (represented by serialized material) should be installed (value ‘2’), replaced (value ‘3’) or no action should be carried out (value ‘1’).  

Info

Learn more about the process, prerequisites and limitations: Equipment installation/replacement with material consumption

Info

Starting from add-on 200 SP04, in the ‘Replace equipment with item’ scenario, the item can replace equipment installed in a functional location. In the previous version, only installation in equipment was supported.

Forced update

Forced equipment install or dismantle (related to the field ‘UDF for Item action’ above). If enabled, installation/dismantling will be performed even when configuration check errors such as ‘No function identifier maintained. Configuration check not possible’ (message CCMM043) occur.

Status
title(S4)PACG 200 SP04

Additionally, all error messages of type CCMM will be turned to warnings.

Use UII

Use UII as the serial number. During transfer of serial numbers (idocs of type /PACG/ECM_ITYPE_SERNR) it is checked if this setting is set and the related object’s UII (Unique Item Identifier) is available.

If so, the UII will be used as the serial number value (instead of the regular serial number).

SerItemDetSource

Specify the way of determining if a material should be sent as serialized to SAP FSM.

During item transfer, plant assignment of the MDOC object is used to retrieve material’s serial number profile from table MARC. If a serial number profile is found, the item can be sent as serialized.

Default – use the material’s MARC data retrieved for the default MDOC plant to determine if the material is serial-managed. If a serial number profile is found for the default plant, the item will be transferred as serialized.

A, All plants - if no serial number profile value is found in table MARC for the material in the default MDOC plant, search it in the non-default plants. Only if no serial number profile is found in table MARC for any assigned plant, will the material be transferred as non-serialized.

D, Delivering plant – if no serial number profile value is found in table MARC for the material in the default MDOC plant, search it in the material’s delivering plant (as sales area data use the default sales area of the ITEM object for a given company).

Only if no serial number profile is found in table MARC for both plants, will the material be transferred as non-serialized.

Info

Keep in mind that if a material is serialized and batch-managed at the same time, it can be customized to be sent as either serialized ot batch-managed using transaction /PACG/ECM_IBS – Batch or Serial Material. If this transaction is not maintained, the following rules apply:

  • If a serial number profile is found for a material, it will be transferred as a serialized item

  • If no serial number profile is found for a material but it’s set as batch-managed, it will be transferred as a batch-managed item

Check MBEW

If no batch-management indicator is found in table MARC, check valuation type and stock in table MBEW. If for the relevant plant the valuation type is not empty and stock value is bigger than zero, the material will be sent as batch-managed.

Info

The batch-management indicator can still be overwritten by the following customizing: /PACG/ECM_IBS – Batch or Serial Material

Batch if any plant matches
Status
title(S4)PACG 200 SP04

Set material as batchable if batch flag is set in one plant

With this option enabled which Connector checks in all relevant plants (all plants assigned to given company) if given material is batched or not and if in any of them it is then it will be sent to FSM as such

Example

  1. 1. There are two plants in company XXXX

  2. 2. There is a material A batched in plant 0001 and material B batched in plant 0002

  3. 3. If this option is enabled both will be sent to FSM as batched

Note

Be aware that whether material is batchable or not is in FSM general property this means that it will be treated as such no matter what plant was selected. This also means that end 2 end process might require additional influence requirement
