| ||
Customers | Customers' deactivation config The transaction /pacg/ecm_cdc got enhanced and it is possible now to display entire existing configuration in a single ALV grid | ||
Equipment/Functional location | Measuring points & readings New FSM Connector brings integration of measuring points and readings with FSM - from now on it will be possible to send measuring categories and measuring points definitions to FSM and add new readings with mobile devices (it will be also possible to send readings from SAP to FSM) | ||
FSM Connector (general) | FSM menu reorganization In order to improve UX we have reordered entire Connector menu, grouping transactions based on their functionality and usage Deletion report for table /PACG/ECM_ALTEW The table /PACG/ECM_ALTEW, together with /PACG/ECM_ALTEWC (CATS receivers), /PACG/ECM_ALTEWS (splits) and /PACG/ECM_ALTEWU (udfs), is used for ‘parking’ time records, as well as to store any inbound time effort (in case they get updated in FSM and the corresponding SAP documents should be adjusted). Navigate to sending transactions from customizing transactions Dedicated buttons were added to customizing transactions which navigate to the corresponding sending transactions. Connector’s number ranges A new view was added to the FSM Cockpit - it shows list of Connector related number ranges and their current status System copy New transaction /PACG/ECM_SYSTEM_CPY added. It gathers all the steps/tools that must be executed after system copy Send Deletion Requests transaction The validation of entered cloud message type was added to /PACG/ECM_OBJDELREQ in order to avoid errors | ||
Performance | Events generation - /PACG/ECM_CL_S_EVENT_MDOC While processing /PACG/ECM_CL_S_ I_ACTNTW_EEVENT_ACTIVITY, raising of /PACG/ECM_CL_S_ I_ACTSNO_EEVENT_MDOC event got replaced by direct call of relevant selection class Events generation - /PACG/ECM_CL_S_ IEVENT_ ACTSVO_EITEM While saving service order addition checks of validity were introduced before event /PACG/ECM_CL_S_ I_ACTWBS_EFSM Logs A new report to delete FSM Connector logs if such a function was enabled in /PACG/ECM_CUSLOG Learn more: EVENT_ITEM gets raised for items added to components table Locking of /PACG/ECM_LOG_DELETE - Delete FSM logsTable AHASH table Locking and unlocking of /PACG/ECM_SCTD Table /PACG/ECM_SCTD got redesigned.

Personal reservations | Deletion of personal reservations Deletion of personal reservation in a planning board will result in deletion of corresponding entries in SAP HR module Learn more: Person reservation deletion in FSM | ||
Reserved materials | Central warehouse Specify a central stock to which all technicians can return goods. Such a warehouse will be sent to FSM with all the active and plannable technicians as its owners (no need to maintain warehouse owners manually).

Learn more: /PACG/ECM_DEL_ARMAT - Delete table /PACG/ECM_ARMAT Reserved materials/Batch quantities sent only for dispatched service orders - support also for reserved materials created on activity level Learn more: https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/37136235/PACG+ECM+SCTDM+Mvmts+for+mat.+consumption+in+FSM#ReservedDisp, field ‘ReservedDisp’ | ||
SAP S4/HANA Maintenance Service Order | New integration type added End-to-end support for the state-of-the-art Maintenance Service Process. This covers two processes: Corrective Maintenance Service and Preventive Maintenance Service. In both case integration is based on intermediate PM orders.

FSM Activities now fully supported when it takes place in SAP backend systemAHASH table got changed in order to improve performance in systems with multiple application servers ‘New’ FSM Cockpit A new method of collecting data was introduced speeding up significantly process of reading IDocs in the FSM Cockpit Optimisation of attachments' sending (to FSM) Before this change, in order to send an attachment to FSM it was necessary to send entire object to which was added. With new release FSM Connector is capable of sending selected attachments omitting their parent objects. Change background task processing of /PACG/ECM_S_INPUT There is a new config option which allows processing of incoming messages in the foreground instead of background. This can improve performance in the systems where background processing is heavily loaded BUS2088 release event disabled BUS2088 Released event was raising an event of type /PACG/ECM_CL_S_EVENT_SERVORD. The same event is raised on save of an order casing the first one to be redundant. With new release relevant configuration entry will not be added by setup report any more. | ||
Personal reservations | Custom address for Personal Reservation Custom address added to personal reservation are handled by Connector Learn more: | ||
SAP S4/HANA Maintenance Service Order | Attachments' integration As with the CS service orders, it is possible to copy attachments from a related activity or PM order to the parent MSO if such functionality gets enabled in dedicated configuration. Learn more: | ||
Network-originated service calls |
| ||
Notification-originated service calls |
| ||
Service Order | Order update from FSM Added handling for unsupported time unit in UPDATE_OPERATION method Service calls configuration redesign
Suppress sending activities with service order FSM activities are no longer sent to FSM unconditionally together with the service orders (of course activities are still sent to FSM on creation or change) however related sending program kept (new checkbox was added) the option of sending them on request. | ||
Transactions | List of new transactions:
